A huge, amazingly fast crocodile was filmed in Australia. The reptile emerged from the water next to a boat before moving as fast as it did. Its movements resembling those of a dolphin.

A man filmed an unusual scene as he sailed along the Bloomfield River in Cape York, Queensland, Australia.

He saw a crocodile swimming right next to his boat and appearing to be racing with it. The most astonishing aspect about this video shared on social networks is the speed at which the reptile travels, comparable to that of some of the fastest fish.

Thus, it is possible to see in the sequence the predator moving at an exceptional speed by surfacing then submerging back into the water.

David White, a crocodile guide on the Daintree River, said in a local report, quoted by Republic World media outlet, that it was “very unusual” and “very dangerous” behavior on the part of a crocodile.
