The Ecological Police management of Progreso announced that during the night of Monday, July 1, agents of this municipal agency rescued a crocodile that was trying to cross the Mérida-Progreso highway. This situation put it at risk the life of the reptile due to the constant vehicular flow in the area.
The animal was about 500 meters from the exit of Progreso, on the road as mentioned earlier in the North-South lane, that is, in the direction of Mérida.
When the municipal agents arrived at the area, they found the animal, and while some took charge of directing traffic to prevent vehicles from passing through the area while the operation was carried out, one of the agents was in charge of driving the animal to the mangrove area, to put it away from danger. Finally, the agency indicated that if they observe the presence of a wild animal at risk, citizens can contact the Ecological Police directly at the number 969-103-62-86.
