A video of a crocodile swiftly swimming up to a fish caught on the bait by a fisherman at Cahill Crossing in Australia is going viral. Known to be the state’s most dangerous water crossing because it is a feeding ground for saltwater crocodiles, Cahill Crossing saw yet another instance in which a crocodile in swift motion swam up to a fisherman’s catch and lunged at it, all in the matter of just a few seconds. The video shows by-standers recording the sight on their phones, while the fisherman rushes backwards at the sight of the reptile. Watch the video here.

Here is another video, from 2010, that shows a crocodile lurking around in the muddy waters of the crossing, while cars and trucks drive past it.
