Occurred on October 30, 2022 / Pellcane/Pelican Island, The Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia
Info from Licensor: "The heart-stopping moment a massive crocodile disappeared without a trace in the crystal-clear waters of The Great Barrier Reef was captured on film by Lily and Hayden, also known as The Greener Two. These intrepid adventurers live, travel, and explore the world on their sailing boat, and they had a close encounter with one of nature's most fearsome predators while exploring Pelican Island (also known as Pellcane Island), a small, uninhabited island located about 400 kilometers (249 miles) north of Cairns, Australia. The crocodile in the video is estimated to be between 3 and 3.5 meters (9.8 and 11.5 feet) in length, and while male saltwater crocodiles have been recorded at lengths of 23 feet (7 m), they typically range from 4 to 5 meters (13 to 16 feet) in length. Saltwater crocodiles are the largest living reptiles and can weigh over 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds). But it's not just their size that makes them dangerous; they are apex predators at the top of the food chain and responsible for numerous attacks on humans in Australia." Credit: @thegreenertwo
