A thrill-seeking photographer risked life and limb as he swam alongside a ten-foot-long American crocodile near Belize. Stunning pictures show Mexican underwater photographer Rodrigo Friscione getting up close and personal with the two-hundred-pound predator. Other shots show the curious croc check itself out in the camera lens and poke its head above water. Rodrigo, who runs a dive shop in Cancun, Mexico, took the spectacular images in Chinchorro Banks. “What you see in these photos is a peaceful interaction with crocs”, he said.
