A huge saltwater crocodile has snatched a small dog from a Queensland beach, with chilling video footage showing the apex predator lining up the unsuspecting pet.
The video was shot at Napranum Beach in the far north of the state and shows two small dogs by the water’s edge as the large croc silently approaches.
The brutal example of nature’s fury takes only seconds.
As onlookers watch on and film, the crocodile launches from the water and seizes the smaller of the two in its powerful jaws.
The other animal leaps away and his mate’s tiny body is whipped viciously into the water by the croc before it swims away with its prize.
