A crocodile stalking a dog in viral video
On social media, a video shared by 9 News showing the incident unfolded on a seemingly peaceful day at the beach.
The video has the caption: “That’s one lucky dog!
Incredible drone footage has captured a large croc stalking a dog’s every move at Seisia in Queensland.
Miraculously, the dog was left unharmed”
In the footage produced by a drone, a dog was shown innocently wandering along the shoreline.
Yes, that’s right, it’s a shark! The cold-blooded killer of the ocean.
As the dog walks up the beach and then circles back, the crocodile mirrors its movements, edging closer to the shore.
While, the crocodile remains in the shallows, its predatory eyes fixed on the unsuspecting dog.
The dog was unharmed after facing a crocodile stalking it.
The footage showed a tense moment when the dog wandered back towards the sea. The furry animal seemed unaware of the danger lurking nearby.
As it approached the water, it finally noticed the crocodile lying in wait
The dog quickly retreats into the sand, but not without one last glance to ensure the crocodile is still following it.
Fortunately, the dog was able to walk away unharmed, as reported by 9News.
The Queensland Government also give warning the risk crocodi in beacj
The Queensland Government provides essential advice for staying safe from crocodiles while visiting beaches.
On its website, it explains that crocodiles are apex predators that use ambush tactics, such as lying in wait at the water’s edge to capture their prey.
The site also advises residents to stay at least five meters from the water’s edge and to properly dispose of food and fish scraps.
Additionally, residents should keep their pets on a lead and away from the water, avoid using small watercraft, and stay well away from crocodile traps.
It added: “Just because you can’t see a crocodile, it doesn’t mean there is not one close by.”
The video quickly went viral and sparked concern among dog lover
The footage has sparked a wave of reactions on social media. In the comment selection, many viewers expressed their horror and relief.
Another also suggested that the dog was very lucky, while another stressed the need to always be prepared.
Even, some admitted that they held their breath while watching and found themselves yelling at the dog to move.
One person said: Don’t let the dog off the leash, that is if they are even allowed on the beach!! Where is his/her owner?
A second wrote: Got to love people rather get the footage than actually try and save the dog.
While a third commented: The croc is the native predator here. That dog should be on a leash and with an owner. Stray dogs attack vastly more people annually than crocodiles.
Someone else said: Probably didn’t go for the dog because it never went in the water. It would be hard to believe the dog didn’t know it was there so probably why he stayed out.
