looks like a bunch of people were acting like asses. He's even trying to tell someone to be quiet.

Photographer obviously doesn't understand croc behavior. If you see a croc come near the shore and submerge, you better get out of the way.

I guess the gator wasn't a fan of his tattoos?

Whoever chucked the rock at that lizard saved that dude's life.

Pretty clever that the crocodile was waiting to strike the guy when he had his head turned away.

aren't crocs supposed to be way more aggressive than gators?

if that croc wanted to kill that guy, i don't see why it didn't. it's not like that's a shark. they are fast as frick on land

i imagine that rock thrown set it off and it was like "frick that we need to get these animals out of my space"

looks like the idiot that threw the rock at the croc almost cost someone his life.

by like 1000x

people swim with gators without issue. most gators won't frick with a 6-foot animal regardless

crocs, especially saltwater ones like that one, are huge and do not give a single frick

I guess that guy never saw Crocodile Dundee. Replace the camera with a water bottle.
