A man has managed to prise a crocodile's jaws from around his head when he was attacked near a luxury resort in Queensland, Australia.
Marcus McGowan was snorkelling about 17 miles (28km) off Haggerstone Island in Cape York when the reptile struck.
"While checking out some coral and fish and talking to a fellow snorkeller, I was attacked from behind by a saltwater crocodile which got its jaws around my head," he said in a statement.
"I thought it was a shark but when I reached up, I realised it was a crocodile.
"I was able to lever its jaws open just far enough to get my head out.
Wow, that was a lucky escape
. You certainly don't expect crocodiles to be lurking around luxury resorts... but unfortunately, they're not always easy to spot ahead of time 
. I hope he recovers fully from his injuries!
