Crocodiles are an ancient reptile and a fierce hunter in the food chain, which can face humans and become prey, becoming an artificially bred animal, or pet. Recently, in the town of San Pedro Vamelula, Mexico, there was an anecdote that a mayor wanted to marry a 7-year-old crocodile, because the marriage of the crocodile to the leader of the local residents symbolized the combination of gods and humans, and prayed for the favor of nature.
The wedding day of the mayor and the 7-year-old crocodile is also very grand, the crocodile needs to be dressed up beautifully, wearing a white wedding dress and colorful clothes, etc., there will be horns and drums everywhere, and this crocodile will be held by everyone, through the streets of various villages and towns, to accept people's cheers, the mayor will also hold the crocodile and dance, kiss the crocodile and so on.

Marrying a crocodile is a traditional local festival that is held once a year, as long as the mayor does not leave his post and does not leave office, he will marry a different crocodile every year and marry another crocodile, and this crocodile will agree not to?
In order to ensure that the wedding ceremony can be carried out safely and smoothly, and will not allow the crocodile to crawl or bite people, they will tie the crocodile's upper and lower jaws in advance so that the crocodile cannot bite people with strong force. Although the crocodile was dressed up exceptionally well, he sealed the crocodile's mouth and was tied up to attend the wedding, and the crocodile did not want to do it.
