National Geographic photographer Trevor Frost uploaded this simultaneously awe-inspiring and absolutely terrifying video of a salt-water crocodile propelling its entire body out of a river with its tail. Take this as a reminder to keep all your limbs far, far away from croc-infested waters.

Friends, sorry it took me a day longer to get this video out to you; I was on a one day assignment for @sciencemagazine and had limited access to Internet. But here it is!!! Crocodiles have incredibly strong tails. Their tails propel them in the water like torpedoes from a submarine. In fact, as you see here, their tails are so strong that they can propel their entire body out of the water. Crocodiles are so cool. Stay tuned for more amazing crocodile photos and videos. @eddiebauer #liveyouradventure
