A video has been shared of the moment a family were spotted fishing metres away from at least 10 crocodiles.

The terrifying clip shows a group of people, including children, casually hanging about near a river crossing.

One of the children climbs on top of a rock, easily within reach of a crocodile, should one decide to attack from the murky water.

A local tour guide has slammed the family’s actions – describing the situation as a “croc attack waiting to happen”.

Meanwhile, social media users are calling for the parents to be “fined”.

Crocodiles in this area are reportedly between three to four metres long.

The footage was shot by tour guide Jack Tanner.

“In the video the family are fishing right on the water’s edge in the presence of multiple huge saltwater crocodiles,” Jack, from Australia, told What’s The Jam.

“Culling crocs is already a big topic in the top end of Australia.

“It’s reckless acts like this that put both the people and the crocodiles lives at risk.

“What we need is crocodile awareness rather than a cull.

“I’ve built my life around working out here in the bush and I would hate to see a tragedy happen here.

“When people are visiting they need to be croc wise!”

The video was also shared on his colleague David’s Instagram, with the fellow guide sharing his thoughts.

An excerpt of the lengthy caption reads: “This family was literally having a picnic on the road with the kids constantly on the water’s edge and absolutely zero crocodile sense.

“At this time there was close to ten visible large crocs within 50m of them and probably another 25 crocs we couldn’t see at the time.

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but it is only a matter of time until we have a fatality here and it will be witnessed by hundreds of people.

“I absolutely love working out here and I have built my life around it.

“I don’t want to see places like this shut down.”

The video has over 206,000 views, 5,000 likes and 400 comments from users so far.

Damian said: “Y’all should probably get on top of this before there’s a fatality, this is f*g ridiculous.”

Brandon added: “Child endangerment. Plain and simple. The parents should be fined, at the very least.”

Linda commented: “This is WILD!!! Is it ignorance or arrogance?”

Jess wrote: “My god I can’t believe some parents… really?! This is just so scary.”
