The video provided by Storyful shows pub owner Kai Hansen face-to-face with a crocodile.

Meanwhile, according to Newsweek, Mr Hansen and his crocodile encounters are well-known. He moved to the remote island several years ago despite the local crocodile population. Until 2018, he used to own a small dog as well called Pippa that would charge at crocodiles to scare them back into the water. However, one day the crocodile, known by Mr Hansen as Casey, caught the dog and killed her.
