Authorities in Santa María Tonameca , Oaxaca , warned about the movement of crocodiles towards beaches such as Mazunte , San Agustinillo , Arroyo Tres , Zipolite and more.

The incident is due to the increase in water levels in Laguna Ventanilla , which is why lifeguards have asked the population and tourists to be alert.

"If you see a crocodile outside its habitat, it is recommended that citizens do not approach it, feed it, or hit it. It is best to keep the appropriate distance and make a report immediately," authorities said.

They stressed that it is important to respect wildlife because these animals have been swept away by the currents of the lagoon and the sea.

They also reiterated that the best way to prevent accidents is to stay away from crocodiles and report them as soon as possible.
