Want to know what it's like to be attacked by a crocodile? Watch this video!

Have you ever watched one of those wildlife documentaries in which hungry crocodiles snap at their prey? And have you ever been curious - morbid - to know what the attacked pet saw? Well now you can find out thanks to the folks at National Geographic!

The images you will see later show attacks by saltwater crocodiles, but from the perspective of poor prey. According to National Geographic, the video was shot by photographer Trevor Frost and filmmaker Melissa Lesh during a month-long expedition to Australia. Watch below:

Nhoc!

As you have just seen in the video, Frost and Lesh set up small remote-controlled, camera-equipped devices, and lured crocodiles into the attack successfully nine times. Luckily, the images show no defenseless animals being devoured and, according to National Geographic, this is the first time attacks of these reptiles have been recorded from the point of view of attacked animals.

It may not have seemed so dramatic to you, but try to put yourself in the prey's place and remember that saltwater crocodiles can be over six feet long and weigh almost a ton. As if little, these monsters have the most powerful bite among the animals on the planet, with a force between 1, 300 and 2, 300 pounds per square inch - which would be more than enough to crush a human skull.

By the way, keep all this information in mind if you go to Australia one day and decide to go for a swim there. In the 1970s, it was estimated that only 3, 000 saltwater crocodiles lived there. However, scientists believe that there are currently a population of 100, 000 in the Northern Territory alone and that they number about 200, 000 in northern Australia.
