Giant Crocodile FOUND - Could You Outswim Him?
Never feed or approach wild crocodiles. The team worked with permitted guides.
This week, Coyote and the gang venture across Australia's deadliest river. This waterway is home to hundreds of enormous Saltwater Crocodiles. In this episode, the team sets out to answer one big question: could a human survive a swim across a crocodile infested river? And exactly how "aggressive" are these reptiles? Time to find out!

Sneaky is a very impressive and beautiful beast. His head alone looks to be a good 3 to 4 feet. You can tell he spends a lot of time down there with all the algae growing on his face. Truly a prehistoric hold back.
Yeah, just wow!
yeah and hes more like 2000 lbs at 18ft long, they probably meant to say 1000 KG
Yep, Sneaky is a real monster. He is however about 10 feet shorter than the current record, set in 1957 on the Norman River in Queensland. Google Krys Pawlowski, the lady who shot him. There's a life sized statue outside the Normanton Shire Office. Pleasant dreams ...
Brave Wilderness never cease to amaze and shock me about how insane our world is.

Imagine how excited Jack must've been Swimming with actual real life dinosaurs along with the legend Coyote Peterson

W experience
@@Meepie_Playz it was great
They are not Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are specific type of animal, not all "prehistoric reptiles" are Dinosaurs. Even in the colloquial sense dinosaur still refers to specific kind of animal, and that animal isn't a croc.
How about you read up on Crocodiles that could eat dinosaurs. Largest Crocodiles that could prey on massive carnivores in the prehistoric era. What about those from the past? How did they evolve?
I thought someone was going to swim across the river.
So did I 😂😂😂
Same
Facts i wanted too see this brave soul😅😂😂
Same
Y’all are crazy
9:00 Croc is almost as big as the boat, amazing. 😲
I wish Steve Irwin was still with us. I have a feeling he and Coyote would get along. Coyote is like the American version of Steve Irwin.
The little croc looked so cute to me 😭
It’s honestly a miracle that he’s still alive.
From one member of the Coyote pack to another I say I'm glad you got to do this Jack! I'd be thrilled to be able to hang out with Coyote and do an episode with him!
Thanks bro
I like how the crocodile named "Sneaky" is also covered in "camoflouge" in the form of what looks like moss.
the number of feeding tours has encouraged crocs to be closer to boats due to them expecting to be fed
*Be brave, stay wild, and not go in danger unlike him, his a professional* ❤
Yes.✨
Do what you want. Don’t listen to KZhead comments lol.
he's *
that was a nice ending intro of coyote's video !! LOL 😂😂😂
He’s
How can I be sooooo fascinated yet terrified by these creatures?
Hello
I cant believe Jack got to swim safely with a legendary beast! Oh, and some crocodiles too
He was great
I'm coyote Peterson, and I'm about to enter the bite zone with: the hippopotamus
lol
That’s so cool to bring the fan with you to the cage, you’re awesome man!
I'm surprised nobody thought to implant a tracking chip to Dominator to pinpoint his location if he's popular with tourists. I'm mean sure it wouldn't be good to bother him 24/7, but if he was in a specific location on the river from time to time, it would be convenient to keep a record of his movements if he's as big as they say.
y-you gonna volunteer to try??
@@ethantan2913they can tranquilize him
It would be very difficult. Crocodiles are easily stressed, so catching them for anything can lead to their death. They don't do well being put under. You wouldn't be able to tag them like you would a shark. Look at Sneaky's scales. You'd bend a needle trying to get anything done.
So grateful to have you out at the river, sorry we couldn’t get ya dominator nor Brutus. Hope you come again soon, will try again to get the king of the river. Ain’t no zoo sadly 🤪, definitely are a lot more active before the matting season. pretty common during June July August. -Dylan
What would happen if while the chicken is on the rod and the croc has it in his mouth, and the croc just yanks really hard and drags the whole fishing rod and the person down with it into the water, is that a possibility?
@@wippoutmy7634 we’ll definitely can end up losing the bamboo pole from time to time but incredibly unlikely you’d be dragged in with the pole cause you’ll have no choice but to just let go.
That's what I was wondering surly all it takes is one to death roll and your over
Just courius how big are the two you didn't run across if this big one was 18ft and round 1115 pounds i think ya said like how big do them guys whos seen the other two think they might be in length and weight ???
The river also has extremely strong currents too. And Saltwater crocodiles are also one of the few animals on the planet that would actively hunt humans. It has happened in the past especially during WW2 when the Japanese were eaten in a large swamp on Ramree island by these large crocodiles. Most dangerous animals (excluding humans obviously), on Earth in my opinion. 1. Water Buffalo 2. Hippopotamus 3. Polar Bears 4. Saltwater Crocodiles 5. Golden Lancehead viper
mosquitos: hold my malaria
@@itsjackson debatable, since its the malaria doing the killing, not specifically the mosquito itself. but still a good point.
Water Buffalo over tiger is nuts...... Tigers have killed more than 300000 humans till date
@@Rohith-fd6qu He probably meant cape buffalo, but even so, I'd argue tigers are more dangerous, since they're much more likely to attack humans unprovoked.
I’d argue polar bears are more dangerous or at least as dangerous as hippos and water buffalo. If we’re talking sheer casualty numbers that’d be different, as the vast majority of people will never be even close to polar bear territory, so the number of deaths and injury by polar bear will remain very low compared to other predators.
one of the few animals that regularly view adult humans as food, and not just due to mistaken identity or due to being unable to hunt normal prey (along with polar bears, nile crocs, komodo dragons, largest constrictor specimens, and a couple others).
What are the others ?
@@Brandon-hg7ic maybe debatably some species of sharks (tiger, oceanic whitetip?), some big cats maybe (although usually its a case of the cat being unable to hunt normal prey i think?), other large crocs as well maybe too. hyenas sometimes.
Some eagle species see children as prey
If The Dominator is bigger than Sneaky, all I can say is "wow!"
I can say this as an Australian you would have no chance in hell being able to cross that river I have heard stories a fisherman going down to collect their fish because they are stuck on a log and the fisherman being taken by a massive saltwater Beast
I think I'd rather lose my meal ticket than my life. Good grief
Next challenge: cuddle for 5 minutes with dominator.
when some youtubers are scared to just get into a pool of cold water he swims with deadly crocodiles
I am a Canadian who took a Jumping Crock Cruise down the Adelaide in 2014 when I visited Darwin. They pick you up at your hotel early AM in the tour bus and return you at night. What a fantastic day we had. It was only around $100.00 back then. I remember they had to remind people not to rush to one side of the boat to get a better view of the crocks because we could tip over. I was frozen to my seat after that 😂😂😂😂
My dad told me a story about Louisiana, USA. One night in the 70s my dad was at a bar with some coworkers. It was just across a bridge from the cheap motel they were all staying in, they were traveling railroad workers. So while at the bar, one of the men realized he left his smokes behind and went back to the motel. On his trip back he decided to wade through the water as the walk to the bridge and all was a distance. But you could literally see the bar from the motel parking lot. In the morning they were in awe at the river he had crossed. Shallow water, but infested with gators all over from shore to shore. A valuable lesson for an old Kansas boy
How did he survive then?? No way.
I went to the everglades as a kid, and a child fell in off the jetty! About 3 adults grabbed him - luckily he was fine but that's a story to tell!
I'm Australian and I know a kid who jumped on top of a freshwater croc up north without seeing it. It latched on to his leg and really opened it up. They don't generally attack people but the kid did land on it
Coyotes not just educating people. But maybe showing youngsters to show toughness and to be brave, and get outdoors
I just love the sound of their jaws clamping together. It sounds like a musical instrument and it’s so unexpected.
You are always doing the most dangerous stuff... I love it!

nothing about this video was dangerous mate xD

Plenty of safe rivers in Australia
Nah Australia is pretty safe if you are sensible
crocs are my favourite animals thanks for this video
Amazing episode Coyote and the crew! Thank you for entertaining us and educate at the same time 🙂
I agree with your comment that what you said right now man ! 🙂👍🏼
These videos give me such anxiety but I can't stop watching lol
There is a difference between brave and inane, there is no in between. You’re just crazy! Yet you never cease to amaze me. Good job
A wise male once told his son “Simba, being brave doesn’t mean you go looking for trouble.”
Imagine all that water vanishing, what we would see would be a nightmare there's definitely dozens of crocs down there if not more than that.
Exactly, that whole river screams death!
Sneaky the Crocodile really looks the brute that every crocodile fears. Moss on the body, bumpy and rough skin and giant teeth really puts contender with Dominator.
Sneaky clearly maxed out his thief skill tree.
i’m crying while watching this😂i completely forgot about him. i remember 4 years ago i would always watch his videos with my dad and brother. we even bought the book he has😂just made me sad realizing how fast time went by and how many things can change little by little. stay brave coyote! your a good guy!
Fun Fact! did you know that the saltwater crocodile has the strongest bit of any living animal and that they can kill a great white shark?
"I'm Coyote Peterson and I'm about to enter the bite zone of the saltwater crocodile!"
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Coyote is back!!! I love his videos and learning animals❤
Thank you for reinvigorating my love for wild animals and the outdoors 😊
It's a good day when coyote uploads ☺️
The sound from croc chomping 😳
From one Jack to another, that was awesome -- what an impromptu opportunity. He was definitely brave, and definitely wild!!
Coyote, I have a good idea- I think you could make a great video and drag a dead pig, or an edible manaquin across the river on a rope at the speed of a swimmer and see if it makes it to the other side? You could do this experiment at several crossing spots, to really gauge the odds?
Feel like this is as good a place as any to ask, but "Do you think it would be worse to be eaten by a Crocodile, or a Bear then?" The Crocodile is going to snap limbs and eat you alive. Whereas the Bear is going to slowly eat your face while standing ontop of you. So which would be worse? At least you might asphyxiate from the Bear perhaps? I've always thought it was Bear, but I never considered Crocodile. Thoughts?
Don't forget the partial drowning in dirty water!
Crocs have the strongest bite force. They said the crocs could pulverized a human skull. Did you see the video where a croc exploded a watermelon to smithereens with one massive bite??!!! Think I'd take my chances with a bear...
In regards to Sneaky, I muttered, "It's a freaking dinosaur" just a second before Coyote said, "It is a dinosaur..."
“Well, tiny crocodiles can fly” imagine saying that casually to a random stranger then walk away😂
Nice! I m currently backpacking Australia and I was in Northern Territory in July. I couldn’t believe the amount of crocodiles we saw on the Adelaide river!
Did you enjoy Australia mate?
when we recreate dinos he will be freaking escaping t-rexes with a giant camera on him
😂😂
Can you film «Bitten by a horsefly»? Although there are enough such videos.
Damn. That croc "Sneaky" was almost as big as the damn boat if not equal length. What an absolute beast. It's truly amazing to see just how big they actually get in the wild.
Let’s all appreciate the work that coyote does for our entertainment MAD RESPECT FOR HIM!!!
He gets paid ffs…
@@kimmyrask7368lot of youtubers get paid WAY more for doing less hard and less dangerous stuff
Now I'm not going to...
Thanks guys that was a good video I grew up in florida with the alligators and they were a few under the boardwalks when you're fishing they be in the neighborhood lakes When I was a kid, they were endangered so they were not a lot of them , But when you live there you're gonna have encounters, it's crazy they're everywhere now
My wife and I went to Myakka State park a few years ago. Went by the edge and looked into the water..My wife was like "Omg that's a huge log.." I looked at it and was like heh, that's not a log. Huge alligator, just chillin.
“Well tiny crocs can fly” THEY CAN LOL
"BE BRAVE" ME GOING AFTER A KANGAROO
I wish the zoos in my area had those cage experiences, or just crocodiles/gators in general. I love them so much but have never seen either in real life before 😭
Oh trust me, they’d love you too.
Would love for Coyote to see the Irwins at the Australia Zoo. See the croc show, if he hasnt already haha
Been on that river. Didn’t see Dominator, but came face to face with Brutus. That big boy ain’t no joke, even though he’s missing a leg.
Haven't watched this man's video since I was like 12, nostalgia hit and suddenly remembered this legend 👏
congrats to making it to 13

He doesn’t fear death, death fears him 💀
He doesn't fear it but death can still comr for him but must say i love gis video's and he is a vrave man i wouldn't do that
Oh my gosh my keyboard is messed up sorry
Brave wilderness should go on a mission to find the dominator 🤩💗🐊
Such gorgeous creatures! Thanks Coyote and everyone! Lovely seeing these creatues
Incredible crystal clear photography!
you are truly brave
So, you encountered 18 foot long, 1500 pound "Sneaky"...but you failed to find the "Dominator"...hmm! Perhaps the Dominator will find you?
Oooh
Saltwater crocodiles are pretty scary if you swim across the water and also be brave you two
I’ve heard about this Saltwater Crocodile Dominator. He’s Bigger than Brutus.
You're my idol and your videos are so amazing 😍
Love these episodes
I went to Kununurra and mates that lived up there, they took me camping& barramundi fishing. They all slept whole night 20m off the bank in mosquitoe net's. Being first time up there I couldn't sleep as every time I opened eyes I could see crocodiles shining eyes looking at us. I would get up and throw a couple of rocks near it to scare it away. It was one of my longest nights ever. They told me one time a massive crocodiles about 5m came into their camp and they all got on roof of landcruiser, after 15hrs of crocodile not leaving and laying waiting they had to shoot it. Mate was so heartbroken to do this to giant of nature. They couldn't even pull it too the water for others to feed on because of size. Avagud1
Michael Phelps can swim 6mph, a crocodile can swim 15mph+. If there was a large enough crocodile nearby, the answer is hell no.
Well, Coyote, don't be surprised if you get approached by less fans then before, lest they too end up nose to nose with something terrifying and dangerous!
Loving the aus content lately its nice not to be looked at as just a hot deadly desert theirs allot more to Australia than ppl think :)
Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Well we were already looking at it as a croc deathtrap
Yeah, great that everyone who watched now knows there's hot deadly rivers there as well :p
When I was a Kid living in the Northern Territory we all knew the story of Sweetheart, he was only 17 meters long but Dominator being 22 meters is a dinosaur! Dominator is a bit of a bully to another big croc called Brutus, he sneaks up on Brutus and bites at his tail.
This was definitely cool! Mario must have been so excited about this too! Sneaky is an amazing crocodile.
Mario had a blast!
Next time coyote enter the saltie's bite zone
Another amazing video
Every once in a while I come back to check that hes still alive and well. Awesome video! Love the NT.
AH! The Croc, a Floridian's Best Friend.
Go to Pamtanal in Brazil.
It is crazy dangerous but I think it would be safer than swimming in badly polluted rivers around the world. Atleast if a croc took you it would be quicker than waiting for diseases to kill.
I have watched coyote for at least 6 or 5 years and I will always love there crew and there videos
Kaichodie got the "I'm famous" sunglasses on now!
Mate as a former NT Police Officer this is not a good title. People have tried and failed as a dare😢
As a Florida man, it happens here with our much less aggressive alligators lol
Excellent vid, and I agree that those shots in the mud were eye opening, educational, and downright phenomenal.
That Alan grant scene has always been a favorite😂
When he asks about shoving his arm down his throat and the experts disagree that's actually the most feasible way to survive an attack under water. There is a story of a bloke who survived a nile croc attack in Africa by doing just that. Croc dragged him under and he used his free arm to feel for the flap in it's throat. As the water flooded into its lungs the Croc immediately let him go giving him enough time to swim ashore.
Pls make a video about a platypus :(

Hey Coyote Peterson, Why don’t you get to think of a suggestion and creating a KZhead Videos and also a Documentary all about the Extinct Carnivorous Marsupials of Australia, Tasmanian Tigers (Thylacinus cynocephalus), also known as the Thylacines, or the Tasmanian Wolves on the next Brave Wilderness coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
Did the Adelaide river a few years ago. As soon as the boats start up, the crocs start swimming towards you. They know they are getting a feed. If you fall in, you are dead. A fisherman was killed by an albino croc nicknamed Michael Jackson. He went to retrieve his stuck fishing lure. Unbeknownst to him, MJ had been stalking him for a few weeks, just waiting for him to make a mistake. The croc had to be shot.
