"On a day out fishing for Barramundi in The Kimberley, Western Australia we spotted this massive crocodile drag a cow down the river bank,"the filmer wrote. "We followed him with the drone as it dragged the cow down river. It eventually got fed up with the drone buzzing over him and tried to pull the cow underwater."

The angler described the scene as the "pure awesomeness of nature."
