Two fishermen were scared off by a giant crocodile in Kununurra, Western Australia, on May 21.
Matt Cox and his friend were out fishing for barramundi in the Ord River when they decided to go out “croc spotting.”
The men encountered what Cox described as a " 4.5-5m Saltwater Croc on the bank with 3 legs." The pair decided to steer their boat towards the shoreline to have a closer look at the animal. However, the crocodile was not happy about the unwanted attention and made a menacing leap towards the boat and scared the men enough to quickly navigate the boat away from the croc.
Although the men did not expect the crocodile to leap at them, Cox stated that they found the incident thrilling because his friend from Victoria had never seen a crocodile before. Credit: Matt Cox-Northbound Charters via Storyful
