Irked crocodile attacks men on boat after losing 'prey'; watch

Crocodiles are considered as the apex predators and remain on top of the food chain. These merciless reptiles have powerful jaws and strong bodies. With their ambush tactics, they effectively grab their prey and hunt them down. However, only lucky creatures manage to escape from these formidable hunters. Wildlife explorers must have encountered crocodiles while chasing and hunting down their prey in the water. But, it is quite rare to see crocs attacking humans by leaping onto a boat.

Here we bring a rare incident from the wild that luckily was captured on the camera. The visual may scare you out of your wits if you imagine yourself in place of the persons boarding the boat.

In the video, a person is heard saying, "Look at this," while sailing on the boat. Surprisingly, a crocodile can be seen swimming towards the boat while chasing something. It seems that the people on the boat were fishing with bait, but the crocodile got allured and started following it. As soon as the crocodile approaches the bait and tries to catch it, it realises that it is not its prey. Meanwhile, the persons on the boat seem to be enjoying alluring the crocodile. 

As the person recording the video makes fun of the water monster, the crocodile suddenly turns towards the man. Surprisingly, it takes a leap onto the boat leaving the man scared. As it seems, the crocodile was irked after learning that it was being teased and allured with bait. 

The man screams out of fear as long as the crocodile remains on the boat. However, the crocodile slips back into the water in a few moments.
