Damian “Wildman” Duffy is a crocodile enthusiast and wildlife guide in Australia’s Northern Territory. He recently captured footage of a massive wild saltwater crocodile using a small camera on a long pole—it’s insane. The animal is huge and prehistoric looking, and the video shows you details you’d never get close enough to see in real life.

“My most INSANE footage yet!!” wrote Duffy in an Instagram post sharing the viral video from December. “Using a small camera on a long pole enables me to push the boundaries of filming these incredible animals up close without pushing the boundaries of safety, and also without creating a stressful situation for the crocodile.”
The comments section reveals how many people felt after watching the video.
“Wait wait wait . . . you filmed this WITH A LONG STICK?” wrote one person, clearly not feeling like any stick would be long enough.
“Is this real?” asks another.
“That’s a dragon,” jokes another.
“My anxiety immediately skyrocketed and I got lightheaded,” claims one commenter.
