A huge crocodile tries to make a bite-size snack of a group of children as it snaps its giant jaws at them in an aquarium.
Chilling video footage, which has clocked up more than 50 million social media views, shows the youngsters scrambling through a perspex underwater tunnel.
But instead of just passing them by in the massive water tank, the croc begins to circle them showing off its massive mouthful of razor-sharp teeth.
As the youngsters yelp in terror the deadly reptile predator takes a series of massive bites at them showing off the death roll it uses to rip apart its prey in the water.
Mercifully the thick perspex tunnel keeps the croc at bay and it swims on as the footage ends.
The footage, filmed at Florida’s Miami Zoo, USA, was captioned by Brazilian national mum Tayane Duarte: “They loved the adrenaline rush.”
Brazilian media reports that the clip was filmed seven months ago but has since become a massive worldwide online hit.
She is said to have recorded it during a trip to the aquarium with her six-year-old son Lias and his two-year-old sister Lauren.
