Woman posts video of crocodile attack, and it is heartstopping

Welp, this is a close call.

A tourist was bitten on the leg by a crocodile on at Cape Tribulation in Queensland, Australia on Monday night, while standing on a creek bank close to the waters edge.

A Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP) spokesperson said in a statement the crocodile was estimated to be 2 to 2.5 metres (78 to 98 inches) long. 

A video posted on the Facebook page of Ally Bullifent shows the crocodile attack, which comes out of nowhere. It’ll be sure to give you a shock.
