Cannibal crocodile caught making a meal out of smaller croc

This is the shocking moment a cannibal crocodile was caught on camera making a meal out of its own kind in a notorious Australian river.

Footage from Shady Camp, on the Mary River in the Northern Territory, shows the five-metre saltwater crocodile dragging the three-metre croc against the tide.

Fishing tour guide Mark Price, 46, was taking his best friend and his wife out on the notoriously croc-infested waters when they spotted the gruesome scenes.

Mark, who has never seen anything like it in nearly 25 years of fishing in the lake, said: “We noticed the smaller croc getting pulled against the tide and stopped for a closer look."
