The snout and fangs of a fearsome croc are seen poking out of the opening.
Rocha spotted the burrowing crocodiles while visiting Tabasco State, Mexico, as reported by Need To Know.
He said: “I came across this while crocodiling in Tabasco and I wanted to share it with you.
“When you are visiting areas where crocodiles are known to live, don’t only pay attention to the water.
“They can dig and create tunnels that connect to where they live both in and out of the water and are almost invisible to the eye.
“These underground tunnels help them hide underground while out of the water.”
He added: “They are found where they walk around and where they swim.”
One local commented: “I will never go down to the river at my mum’s house again!”
Angel said: “They protect themselves from the heat, they dig holes in lagoons and can go very deep.”
Jose wrote: “I’ve seen them entering and leaving tree trunks and caves in dried-up bodies of water.”
Crocodiles are abundant in the Mexican states of Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Chiapas, Colima, Guerrero, Jalisco, Michoacán, Quintana Roo, Nayarit, Yucatán and Sinaloa.
