A photographer with a passion for wild animals was able to get up close and personal with one of nature’s deadliest creatures. Alex Suh has traveled to Mexico’s Banco Chinchorro reef twice in the past three years to get into the waters and capture the crocodiles in their natural habitat after an invitation from Yucatan Dive Trek. The pictures show the photographer just inches away from the carnivorous crocs, who seem more than happy to pose for the camera. Here: The pictures, taken in July 2018, show the photographer just inches away from the carnivorous crocs, who seem more than happy to pose for the camera. (Photo by Alex Suh/Caters News Agency)
