The awe-inspiring moment is captured as a crocodile in Bo-Karoo, South Africa wanders up to a trail camera and gives it an almighty chomp on Monday (November 25).

"I placed the camera on the opposite side of the pond to spy on them from a distance. Crocodiles are typical lazy in nature, not spending energy for the sake of it. However this footage clearly shows one of the crocs slowly approaching, waiting, watching and finally taking a test bite at my camera. There is definitely a lot more going on in the mind of this curious croc than people give credit for!" the filmer, Ewan Wilson, tells Newsflare.

Cameraman and nature addict Ewan Wilson planted a trail camera next to a pond whom happens to belong to two nile crocodiles. Upon returning to the sight to retrieve the little camera Ewan and friends found what seemed to be a murder sight! The camera was torn from its mount and thrown into the mud and not a croc in sight. It was a massive surprise to Ewan and friends to find that a crocodile was the culprit for the crime scene!
