A photographer was left stunned after a crocodile decided to take a stroll through a wedding venue – with social media users terrified at the reptile encounter.
Angel Milan, 20, from Mexico, was in the Marina Barracuda building in Cancún, Mexico, last month when he spotted something in the corner of his eye.
Sneaking its way in through a side door, a crocodile appears out of nowhere – before taking a casual stroll through the venue.
Angel later shared footage of the incident to TikTok, where it has since racked up 2.2M views and over 240,000 likes.
In the video, the huge crocodile can be seen walking through the venue, all the way to the other side.
The reptile then eventually gets to the water’s edge and slowly slips away.
While social media users have been left terrified, it turns out this isn’t actually that rare an occurrence in the area – though not normally inside venues.
“There have been so many times this crocodile has come onto the marina because of the high tide,” Angel told NeedToKnow.Online.
“To be honest I was not afraid to see the crocodile, since in the marina it is something normal to see them.”

Many social media users have compared the crocodile to a “kitten”.
“The cats of Cancún,” wrote one user.
Another person added: “The kittens have already evolved.”
Someone else commented: “Where did you buy the cuddly kitten? Doesn’t he bite?”
“I feel the strange need to hug him, like a cat!,” joked someone else.
One user said: “So cute, can I pet him or give him something to eat!?”
“The crocodile: ‘Nobody tells me where I can or can’t go out!,’ wrote another person.
