WATCH: British tourist gets snapped by a croc!

A 24-year-old British tourist has managed to capture footage of the moment she was bitten by a whopping five-foot crocodile (about 1.5m long).

The Brit was walking beside a shallow creek in Cape Tribulation in northeast Australia, per The Telegraph UKwhen the croc leapt out of the water to take a bite of the woman’s leg.

The video was posted by Ally Bullifent, an apparent friend of the tourist, who captioned it with, “Leah gets bitten by a croc @ Cape Tribulation”. There’s also a nice little pic showing the woman’s injured leg, blood and all.

According to The Tele UK, the woman was taken to hospital for treatment, and discharged yesterday. But she’s not the first to cop an attack from a deadly saltwater croc, with numbers increasing in recent years.

The topic even came up in the recent state elections, with the ever controversial Katter’s Australia Party, led by Bob Katter, suggesting a cull, and displaying signs showing a candidate about to shoot a crocodile, per the Tele.

Just last year, a 46-year-old woman was killed by a fourteen-foot crocodile – that’s over four metres – while swimming in a creek at Cape Tribulation. Police later captured and killed the croc, salvaging the woman’s remains.
