A shocking video footage has emerged that shows a huge crocodile leaping out of the water and trying to attack two fishermen on a small boat.

The men in the video were fishing on a creek in the Northern Territory when this terrifying incident took place.

The massive crocodile can be seen watching them in the video for a while. One of the men can be heard repeatedly telling it to ‘back up’ before it tries to get on board.

The video was uploaded to Suzuki Marine Aust/NZ’s Facebook page and instantly went viral.

The terrifying video that shows the huge crocodile looking at the men and trying to attack them has been viewed more than 557,000 times.

 

The massive crocodile narrowly misses a man but destroys a chair before returning to the water.

The shocking video has left the Internet stunned. One person wrote:

‘Maybe if the stupid tour boats didn’t start feeding them right next to the boat and teaching them to jump they wouldn’t be afraid to approach smaller boats,’

The second one said: ‘We would have kicked it away with our feet and then had a beer.’

‘Someone woke up on the wrong side of the creek,’ another said.
