Note to self: If you see a water embankment in Australia, turn and run. And keep running till you get to the Airport.

When I lived in Australia I never even considered swimming in their lakes, rivers and ocean. They have great swimming pools where you can see the bottom lol.

Nothing wakes you up like a quick swim in northern waters of Australia

I wouldn’t step in a mud puddle in Australia...and I grew up swimming in Florida

What people don't realize is he was in 10 feet of water but was so scared that he ran on top of it.

Here in Florida we have alligators, which is why its smart to be aware in a small pond or lake or creek. With crocs I wouldnt swim in any body of water with them.

why would you even swim in northern Australian water mate havent you heard of the attacks

[ChingPongNguyen]

I'm an Aussie and can confirm this happens every time I go swimming

[NickJohnCoop]

When Australians say “Don’t swim there” it’s for a damn good reason.

He's lucky it was only a small croc and not a giant croc, else he would be lunch.

Croc was like "Take that stupid thing off your head."

[cocoalux]

Now I know why the water is even darker brown

[monet]

Damn. If i can't see the water clearly, I won't swim.

How to survive Australia
Step 1 : get to the airport
Step 2 : get on a flight to ( any country other than Australia )
Step 3 : enjoy your life not getting mauled by Crocs when Steve Irwin can't save you now

I'm nowhere near crocs or Gators... But that's still one of my biggest fears. So much so that I've had multiple dreams where I'm stuck in murky water only to be ripped apart and consumed by them.

[tontonadventures]

Ahhhh, it's nice to see. Natural selection in action.

[ccth]

I’m fascinated by these people who have a desire to try things that would never cross my mind at all. Very interesting...

[Iwillhurtyoureallybad]

Why would you even swim in that water knowing it's Australia

[sunmoonstars]

Croc was waiting for the daredevil under the murky water with his mouth open, he’s still like a pro who done this before probably wasn’t expecting the camera! I bet he chipped his tooth.

the title should be called why you don't go swimming in ''northern'' australia. crocs only live northern australia where it's warm enough for crocs to live all year round. central. and southern australia has no crocs as it's not warm enough for crocs to live in those parts all year round. crocs aren't like american aligators where they can survive in sub freezing temps. if temps drop below 50f/10c crocs will die, that's why crocs are only found in tropical regions.
