Several seasoned nature enthusiasts within the group ventured their own insights, suggesting that the reptile captured on camera by Mr Lee might be a saltwater crocodile. These reptiles are known for their impressive size.

According to NParks website, members of the public who come across these creatures should remain calm and slowly withdraw from the vicinity. Approaching, provoking, or feeding crocodiles is strongly discouraged, as these actions can lead to dangerous consequences for humans and animals.
