A tourist had the shock of his life when he woke up and saw a crocodile just outside his tent.
The man was asleep on the beach surrounded by at least two tents, a burned out fire, and bags of rubbish.
Meanwhile, the croc is seen just outside the dozing man’s tent.

The cameraperson claims the reptile appeared during the night and then slept next to them.
The crocodile was possibly attracted to the campers’ food and waste on the beach in Boca Iguanas, located west of Mexico City, Mexico.
The area has seen widespread tourist development in recent years.
As a result, wild species such as the crocodile have become a tourist attraction in the coastal town.
On this occasion, the encounter passed without anyone being attacked, as reported by What’s the Jam.
However, the authorities reminded visitors to be mindful of the presence of local wildlife and to take appropriate precautions.
One local said: “It’s because their habitat is being removed by diverting the local rivers.”
Victoria said: “Is the person filming the video waiting for the croc to devour his pal?”
Alberto implied the sleeping tourist’s friends may have been playing a prank on him, stating: “That crocodile looks dead to me.”
