That is appalling. And yet, some people are like that. Sad that he lost his life as the result of such....well, I guess we could call it over-confidence?

I think this song is at least a little bit appropriate

They didn't say, but I wouldn't be surprised if "alcohol my have been involved."

Every Texan knows his last words very well may be, "Hey, watch this..."

This is a video and incident my guide told me about as we walked back to this bridge from where this lagoon flows into the Caribbean about 1/4 mile where we had been wading and fishing all day!! It is a place called Boca Paila in the
Sian-Ka'an biosphere reserve in Quintana Roo on the Yucatan in Mexico.

The video as often, is mislabeled as the croc (looks to be about a 9 or 10 ft.) never actually attacks the teenager
But it was definitely following and very interested until somebody tosses a cooler at it and it did move off and kid swam back to shore
