This was the moment wildlife enthusiast Ewan Wilson went diving with a 5-metre-long (16ft) crocodile in Cango Wildlife Ranch, Oudtshoorn, South Africa.

The clip, filmed on January 10, shows Wilson, 23, nervously getting ready to be lowered into the water to join the huge croc, named Freddie.

“As well as terror there is a strange amount of beauty when looking at on of these modern-day dinosaurs and photographing them was an incredible treat!” Wilson told Newsflare.
