Drone technology has given us the ability to see marine life activity we’ve never seen before—and it’s pretty amazing.
For example, we’ve seen killer whales attacking sharks, tiger sharks chasing sea turtles, and tons of great white footage. We’ve also seen killer whales whipping sea lions, sea lions ripping out shark’s throats, and seals attacking great whites. There’s also been dogs riding waves with dolphins and wallabies rescued from the ocean.
But with the clip below, we’ve finally seen it all. And it’s a crocodile stalking a dog in Australia.

The clip above comes from 9News Australia. Captioning the footage, 9News wrote:
“That’s one lucky dog! 👀🐊🐾 Incredible drone footage has captured a large croc stalking a dog’s every move at Seisia in Queensland. Miraculously, the dog was left unharmed.”
The clip shows a crocodile in the water wandering along shore as a dog cruises around on the beach. From all appearances, it looks like the croc is fully aware of the dog’s presence, but not the other way around.
As 9News pointed out in the caption, “Miraculously, the dog was left unharmed.”
Phew.
This clip reminds us of the saying, “Everything in Australia wants to kill you.”
While “everything” might be exaggeration, it doesn’t feel too far-fetched, especially for surfers.
The Land Down Under’s had an abundance of deadly great white shark attacks in the last year.
Surfer Joel Parkinson encountered a “man eating” snake on a bike trail.
And even though it was accidental, an Australian foil surfer got body-slammed by a massive humpback whale, a potentially fatal accident.
Crocs are on the list.
