A fisherman in Far North Queensland caught on film remarkable vision of a saltwater crocodile swimming alongside his boat.
Robert Dunn was travelling on the Bloomfield River, north of Cairns, when he believes he spooked the four-and-a-half metre crocodile known to locals as Tommy.
"The first time he came up he had a little bit of a hissy fit, he had a little bit of sizzle there, they growl a lot," Dunn told Nine News.
"I was fortunate he didn't have a go at the tinny, I thought he tried to have a little crack there at one stage."
The video of the encounter has been shared over 23,000 times , with viewers stunned by Tommy's speed and movement.
"Everyone's wondered why it was moving like a dolphin," Dunn said.
"It was 'cause it was so shallow, so he's bouncing off the bottom and then coming up for a little bit of air."
