Incredible footage shows how crocodiles, jaguars and sea turtles are 'taking back control' of two Mexican resorts as tourist activities are suspended and residents remains indoors during the COVID-19 lockdown.
The animals were filmed in the coastal resorts of Cancun and Riviera Maya in the south-eastern Mexican state of Quintana Roo.
In one clip, viewed 120,000 times on Facebook, a crocodile is seen swimming along a canal outside people's balconies.
Another video shows a jaguar walking a city street at night.
According to local media, the jaguar was also spotted inside the complex of the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort & Spa in Tulum.
Meanwhile, the absence of tourists and residents in public spaces led to a leatherback sea turtle laying its eggs on the beach in front of a luxury hotel in Cancun.
Regional environment secretary Alfredo Arellano told local media: 'On average, we only see one leatherback sea turtle a year and the nesting season starts in May, it was something unusual.'
According to reports, the turtle laid 112 eggs in front of the Grand Oasis Cancun hotel.
Arellano said: 'These species lost their habitats when the cities expanded and their living spaces became smaller and smaller.'
