Underwater photographer Castillo captures a photo of a saltwater crocodile in waters near Cuba (screenshot)
International online article: According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on June 25, ricardo Castillo, an adventurous Mexican underwater photographer, recently vacationed at the Queen's Garden Marine Park in Cuba, hoping to capture shark photos. But he encountered another kind of underwater predator, the saltwater crocodile.
Aside from the camera in his hand and years of experience, the 39-year-old Castillo didn't have any protective equipment when diving and shooting. This saltwater crocodile is more than 3.6 meters long. Castillo said: "I was going there to take pictures of sharks, but there was an unexpected crocodile. ”
Castillo said: "When people see these pictures, the usual reaction is to think I'm crazy. But that's only because of people's fear of the unknown. I've always thought that swimming with sharks or crocodiles actually has nothing to do with bravery or courage, but with knowledge and experience. Danger is always there, they are all wild animals. But if you understand their behavior habits, you can prevent danger. (Shen Shuhua)
