In shocking footage shared online on Thursday, a man wearing a red suit and boots can be seen trying to control the croc with large metal pliers as another man attempts to place a rope around its neck.

As the animal resists them, another croc suddenly jumps out from underneath it, darting from the large gap towards the person filming, who leaps into the air to get out of the way.

The third crocodile can be seen slightly under the rubble, just showing the top of its back but not moving.

The clip, which was posted on Instagram, has gained 903,000 views as well as 46,400 likes and thousands of comments. “Horrified…seconds of catching two crocodiles emerging from the ground,” an English translation of the caption says.
