Most people might be freaked out by a crocodile’s mouth being inches from their face, but not Jennifer Hayes and her husband, David Doubilet. Both are photographers and were working in a mangrove channel in the Gardens of the Queen National Park, which is an archipelago of islets, mangroves, and reefs located fifty miles south of Cuba. It was there that a croc swam right up to Hayes and was only inches from her when she turned around. Instead of being scared, Hayes was “excited to turn and see this docile American crocodile visitor up close.” The creature was slow and unaggressive and Hayes did not feel threatened. Her husband wasn’t either and took a picture of his wife’s encounter with a crocodile.
