Meanwhile, it is always advised to maintain a safe distance from crocodiles. There have been several instances in the past which showed time and again the dangers of venturing too close to the crocodile territory.
Earlier this year, a video of a 16-foot crocodile attacking a wildlife park employee in South Africa had gone viral online. The 660 kg beast attacked the zookeeper, Sean Le Clus, when he was sitting on the back of a crocodile in front of a group of tourists. The reptile penetrated its jaws around the left thigh of the zookeeper, who managed to survive the horrifying ordeal. The incident took place on September 10 at Crocodile Creek farm in the KwaZulu Natal province.
