<br /> <p>Two fishermen were scared off by a giant crocodile in Kununurra, Western Australia, on May 21.</p><br /><p>Matt Cox and his friend were out fishing for barramundi in the Ord River</a> when they decided to go out “croc spotting.”</p><p>The men encountered what Cox described as a " 4.5-5m Saltwater Croc on the bank with 3 legs." The pair decided to steer their boat towards the shoreline to have a closer look at the animal. However, the crocodile was not happy about the unwanted attention and made a menacing leap towards the boat and scared the men enough to quickly navigate the boat away from the croc.</p><br /><p>Although the men did not expect the crocodile to leap at them, Cox stated that they found the incident thrilling because his friend from Victoria had never seen a crocodile before.
