The only words to do this wonderful video justice are simply this CRIKEY WHAT A LOVELY CREATURE!!!! to say this person has big balls is one thing, Id like to say something else. In that brief video we saw the living embodiment to the late great STEVE IRWIN who is sadly missed. for Only HE as we all know would be Happily swimming along with such a magnificent piece of nature and not be frightened in the least!
Thank you so very much for posting such a truly remarkable video

This is one fool of a guy. If that snake went after him, he would be finished underwater.

Rest in peace beautiful… and for all making cruel comments calling her a monster she was not she was peaceful and swam with humans for decades they did not bother her and she did not bother them. Her death infuriates me and there was no reason for anyone to senselessly kill this amazing creature.
