A man survived a certain death in the jaws of a fierce crocodile by prising open the beast's fanged mouth.
Marcus McGowan, 51, was on a snorkelling trip with a group of people around 17 miles off the upmarket holiday resort of Haggerstone Island in Australia's Queensland state.
He was left with lacerations across his arms and was later airlifted to hospital, but thankfully his quick thinking allowed him to escape with his life.
