CROCODILE SWIMMING WITH A GIRL IN CUBA: SEE WHAT HAPPENS
Hard to believe that a wildlife photographer took his
daughter swimming with crocodiles in Cuba and flaunt the photography for
peoples views.
The 23-years-old girl Alexa Frink, can be seen just inches
from the reptile’s open jaw as she swam in Jardines De La Reina.
Stephen Frink, her Father took the pictures of her swimming
next to the eight-foot-long reptile, who weighed about 200 lbs.
The fearless Frink said his daughter has been travelling
with her Florida-based parents on dive assignments since she was three months
old.
Frink only reason for doing that was to show the environment
where a crocodile lives as their habitat is under threat from over-development.
“So, it was to be about the environment and the creatures
that live there. But, when the crocodile presented his teeth to us so prominently
the photographic objective became showing the predatory efficiency of the
crocodile,” he included.
Frink talks on how taking pictures of a huge predator on a
close range is never without its problems.
“There was of course the uncertainty of behavior. We can
only be safe due to the relatively slow movements of the crocodile,” he said.
“But, you should also bear in mind that on occasion it moved
very rapidly and purposefully.
“I certainly have more experience with sharks than I do with
crocodiles, so there was a bit of trial and error and learning involved in this
shoot.
“Plus, I would not interpolate the success and safety of
this particular croc to others worldwide.
“I know my friends in
Australia would never get in the water with one of their ‘salties’. I think that
prudent as well.”
