we all like them animal rescue video because they give us back the faith that humans can, at last, be more respectful of life. One of the most outstanding recent recordings in this regard is that of a alligator in Altamira, Tamaulipas.
The reptile in question, shown in the video, crosses a highly traveled road, for which at least a couple of people signal to the motorists so that they slow down and do not run over the animal.
The increase in flow forced it out
It is believed that the crocodile, about two meters long, left its habitat due to the flooding in the lagoon as a result of the recent rains. In such a way that it would have been easy for him to look for a body of water more to his liking.
In the video it is observed that the reptile manages to cross to the other side, which did not prevent the witnesses from calling the authorities, who went to the place to capture the specimen and relocate it to a safer area.
More crocodiles have done the same thing in the past
But it is not the first time that, in Tamaulipasa crocodile comes out of his habitat and try to cross the street. In 2019 a reptile of more than two meters did it, which stopped traffic on the Fidel Velazquez Avenue.
Then the Tampico firefighters went to the scene to capture and relocate him.
Years earlier, in 2013, three crocodile specimens were captured in urban areas of Tamaulipas. The animals had left their area due to the increase in the water level after the rains. All were relocated in the lagoon system of the Altamira Industrial Port.
