In Texas, a man was eaten by crocodiles after he fearlessly jumped into a marina despite warnings. Another man plunged into marriage with the same reptile in southern Mexico, in a traditional practice that would reportedly bring fishermen abundance.

Metro UK reported Tommie Woodward was killed by an unknown number of crocodiles last week at a private marina in Texas' Sabine River, when he reportedly ignored warnings of danger and jumped into the water.

Rodney Price, an Orange County official said that Woodward even made fun of the warning. "He removed his shirt, removed his billfold...someone shouted a warning and he said 'F*ck the alligators' and jumped into the water and almost immediately yelled for help," he stated.

Michelle Wright, an employee from the marina told KFDM that she tried preventing him from getting into the water before he disappeared.

"I saw his body floating face down," Wright said. "'And then he's out there for a couple of seconds and then he's dragged back down. And then he come back up still face down and then he gets pulled down again. And then he just disappears."

Allen Burkhart, the owner of the marina told Metro that he is still in shock. "I've been here all my life and this is the first time something like this has happened."

Another shocking crocodile incident happened in a fishing town in southern Mexico when local mayor, Vasquez Rojas married a crocodile as a harvesting ritual.

IB Times reported that San Pedro Huamelula mayor wed crocodile, Maria Isabel, who was also baptized before their wedding, in a traditional ceremony that would bring abundance to fishermen during harvest.

"It is to ask from the heart to our Lord, to make this year one of the best harvests, so that we don't lack natural resources such as corn, and food from the water such as fish, which is the main source of food for people in our community," the crocodile's 'godfather' explained about the tradition which Chontal Indians started practicing in 1789.

Mayor Rojas, who danced with his new wife during the celebration shared that he feels "lucky" to have the privilege "to be part of that pact between animals, humans, the environment."
