Swimming in nature is a serene experience––every dip melts away the stress of daily life. However, nature is full of surprises, and what begins as a peaceful expedition can quickly turn into a nightmare. This is exactly what happened to a man when his swim in a river was abruptly interrupted by a crocodile.

In a viral video shared on Instagram, a man is seen enjoying a dip in a river, splashing water, and someone is filming from a boat. But suddenly, he pauses upon noticing something in the water. He bends down, grabs it, and pulls up a baby crocodile. Realising what he’s holding, the man quickly throws the crocodile back into the river and moves towards his boat in panic.

The video was captioned, “Tremendous scare! Man meets a crocodile on the beaches of Media Luna while taking a bath. What began as a moment of enjoyment in nature, almost ended in tragedy for a man who was on the beaches of Media Luna. The man, who had gotten off a boat to record the beauty of the landscape and the tranquility of the waters, faced terror when, unexpectedly, he brushed against a crocodile that was about to bite him.”
