A 4-meter size monstrous crocodile is spotted quietly slithering away in the Northern Territory, Australia.  Crocodile wrangler Matt Wright saw the huge beast the moment it emerged from the water and swam its way across the river. A stunning sight that can marvel anyone!

The creature was well-camouflaged against the rocks and fast moving rapids and could hardly be seen.  But Mr. Matt Wright spotted it while he was fishing in the river the moment the beast moved in the water and stalked its way through the river, reported Long Room.

Mr Wright, star of the National Geographic show Outback Wrangler, told he was trying to catch a barramundi in the isolated waterway when he unexpectedly dotted the massive animal.  He was startled at the mammoth size of the reptile.

The young man commented on his Facebook, "This big fella's trying a little white water rafting without the raft." The fishing fellow believes that the crocodile was wounded and that people should keep an eye out for similar creatures, especially in the warmer season.

Mr. Wright showed his concern over the safety of people fishing or rafting in the river and warned them to beware of crocs that travel at this time of the year. With a long experience of dealing with massive crocodiles, Mr. Wright knows a lot about them, according to Daily Mail.

Last year in February he shared online his real life experience of catching a crocodile of 5.58-metre length. While another beast caught in 2009 is believed to be the second-largest crocodile to be caught ever in Australia. But these measurements are not officially verified.

Dominator, another more than one-ton crocodile believed to be 6.1 meters long is living in Northern Territory. The information is reported by individuals and is yet to be officially verified. Guinness World Records reports the world's largest captive crocodile in Cassius is a 5.48-meter long saltwater reptile captured from the Finniss River in the Northern Territory.
