'Had a heart attack': Viral video shows man’s risky close call with giant crocodile

A heart-pounding 25-second video has taken over the internet by storm, and it's nothing short of a horror movie. The video, shared on June 4 on Instagram by 'discoversharks', shows a man sitting on the bank of a river, casually trying to feed a giant crocodile. The disturbing incident unfolded when the man offered a meat, and the crocodile suddenly lunged. In panic, the man slips dangerously close to the massive crocodile. Luckily, he manages to step back and escape the frightening moment.

The authenticity and location of the video have not been confirmed, yet the footage has circulated on the internet, sparking fear among netizens. 

'Crocodiles are ancient predators, perfectly adapted to strike with explosive power and zero warning. Getting too close, as seen in this video, can be fatal. These animals don’t bluff. One wrong move can turn curiosity into tragedy. Respect their world. Keep your distance. Admire their beauty, but never forget their instincts,' the caption read.
