In the Mexican city of San Pedro Huamelula, Mayor Daniel Gutierrez entered into a symbolic marriage with a female caiman, a small crocodile. This was reported by Reuters.

According to the agency, Gutierrez married the reptile, which residents call the "little princess." Before the ceremony, the female caiman, dressed in a white wedding dress, was carried through the streets. The reptile was brought into homes, and residents danced.

It is noted that according to local beliefs, the crocodile is considered a deity that personifies Mother Earth.
