Crocodile Eye Awakens on Costa Rica Riverbank

I'm on a boat tour in Tarcoles River, Costa Rica, photographing and filming a giant American Crocodile. The crocodile's eyes are closed, he's resting on a sand shore. Suddenly, an eye opens in a strange way: it sinks in and then inflates before opening. The piercing predator eye stares right into my lens. - Filmed on: 2026-02-04 - Location: Tarcoles, CR
