Feeding animals is such an excitement that men, women, and children of all different ages enjoy doing it. Whether it is feeding ducks at the pond, dangling our dog’s favorite treat in front of him, or going to a petting zoo to feed some goats, it’s wonderful to see the joy on these animals’ faces. 

But, we’re not sure that we can add feeding a massive saltwater crocodile to this list. Or rather, not just feeding, but tempting them with food instead of feeding them right away. Don’t miss the crazy action in the video above!

Saltwater Crocodile Sighting in a Backyard

The short YouTube video clip shown at the top of this blog post takes us to a woman’s backyard in Florida. The Garland Vlogs YouTube page filmed and posted this video to their channel of gator enthusiasts. In addition to sharing great videos on alligators, they also have videos of massive saltwater crocodiles, as we can see from the video above. 

Woman Feeding Massive Saltwater Crocodile 

As the video begins, we see this large saltwater crocodile in this lady’s backyard. Suddenly, this country woman shows up in pigtails, blue jeans, boots, and a cowboy hat. In her arms, she’s carrying a pig leg and she’s ready to feed her animal. Well, not before she has a little fun first. 

She calls out to him “Alright Dundee…here’s a big old pig leg come get it!” She entices him to come up by dangling it mere inches from her body.  As she continues to call out Dundee’s name, we see that this croc is quite familiar with her.

We see his body jolt, and then he totters right over to the lady and consumes that pig leg as if it were nothing at all! 

What Do Saltwater Crocodiles Eat?

The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) is the largest reptile on earth. Saltwater crocodiles are by far larger than freshwater crocodiles, sometimes even up to twice the length! They can reach as long as six meters (20 feet) in length. 

These reptiles are also known as opportunistic feeders. They are known to feed on prey such as fish, birds, crustaceans, turtles, frogs, small mammals, and even other reptiles according to the American Oceans Organization. 

These crocodiles are known to be able to swim up to 18 miles per hour. This gives them the unique advantage of being able to capture a variety of prey as the ones seen above. And well, we guess we can add a pig to the list of what these crocodiles will eat.
