A rare, old video has shown the moment a man jumped into the water to wrestle with a crocodile before catching it.
The incredible black and white footage emerged recently showing Australian Aboriginies hunting for crocodiles. The video is thought to date back to 1949.
The archived video has recently appeared on social media and gives an amazing insight into the lives of the indigenous people of Australia.
In the clip, three men are seen standing in a narrow wooden canoe.
As they spot movement underneath the water's surface, they plunge their homemade spears into the water in an attempt to ensnare the croc.
One of the men jumps straight into the water to wrestle with the thrashing animal, securing it with rope so the other two men can pull it aboard their boat.
The footage is thought to have been shot in the Daly River area in the Northern Territory of Australia.
It is captioned: "Hunting for crocodiles from a canoe, true blackfulla ways - no guns"
