What would you do if a humongous crocodile comes out of water and starts crawling towards you? Most will probably run away from the place as fast as possible. However, not this man who was captured “hanging out’ with a crocodile rather than escaping.

It’s an old video that recently gained traction on social media after being shared by different people. (Twitter/@Ryanintheus)

Though old, the video recently created quite a stir after being shared across various social media platforms.

The clip shows a man standing dangerously close to a huge crocodile. Not just that, he also pets the reptile as it comes out of water and moves around.

Check out the scary video yourself:

The video, previously and now, has collected tons of comments from people. While some were simply impressed, there were a few who were left scared after watching the video. There were many who marvelled at the size of the crocodile and compared it with a dinosaur - people dropped comments like “Look its Godzilla,” and “This a dinosaur.”

“One flick of the tail and it’s see you later alligator,” wrote a Twitter user. “This guy wants to die!!” wrote another. “Yeah, no, no, no, he’ll no, you can find me in the next ZIP Code, no way, not ever, see ya later!,” wrote a third.

The man in the video is Matt Wright. He is a host in a show called Monster Croc Wrangler. Just a few months back, another video of Wright went viral where he almost ended up landing inside a crocodile’s jaws.
