Do you have a pet cat or dog who follows you around the house all the time? If yes, you can relate to this video. The only difference is that the pet is replaced with a four-metre-long crocodile here.

Australia's Outback Wrangler Matt Wright was attempting to clear logs in a Northern Territory waterway with co-worker Tommy Nichols when a huge crocodile began following him. While most of us would have screamed in horror, Wright stays calm. A video of the incident has gone viral on Instagram.

While talking to the camera, he pushes the giant reptile away by its snout. "We're just trying to get a few logs out of the water here. We're pulling all these logs up over there. We're having a bit of a hard time, we have a little friend that has come to visit us... go away. We can't get any work done, he keeps following us around," Wright is heard saying in the video.
