Stunning drone footage shows just croc lurking in TNQ beach waters


A Port Douglas photographer has captured remarkable drone footage of a large croc swimming in the waters off Cow Bay Beach.

In a post on Facebook, photographer Stephen Nutt writes that the drone footage "shows the proximity and awareness of the crocodile to people and the beach."

The footage was taken in the early hours of Monday morning. The crocodile is believed to be up to 5m in length and was filmed swimming in just 1m of water at high tide.
