A PHOTOGRAPHER WITH National Geographic Trevor Frost managed to capture this incredible video of a crocodile propelling itself out of the water with its tail.

The clip was captured in northern Australia where Frost is working on a project on saltwater Crocodiles.

In the video description Frost explains that crocodiles have ‘incredibly strong tails’.

And here’s the proof:

Frost added, ”Their tails propel them in the water like torpedoes from a submarine.

In fact, as you see here, their tails are so strong that they can propel their entire body out of the water.

“Crocodiles are so cool.”
