If you saw this crocodile and The Hulk together, you might should "snap!"

With its scaly skin covered in glowing algae, the crocodile looks bright green, muscular and angry - like The Hulk.


And just like the Marvel Comics character - Bruce Banner's alter ego - you wouldn't like him when he's angry.


South African Armand Grobler, took the photos of the scary-looking reptile near Lower Sabie rest camp in the Kruger National Park.

He was stunned to see it emerge from the water in a bright coat of what he suspected was blue green algae.

Armand said: "He definitely looks similar to a mythical creature or monster.

"At first I thought the Hulk could be a good description, but then I thought it could be the Loch Ness Monster."


The 22-year-old does photography as a hobby, but would love to do it full-time.

He was working as a freelance field guide at Mopane Bush Lodge when he seized the opportunity to capture the croc on camera.


The reptile can be seen slinking along the banks of the lake after gliding through the water - where it presumably managed to get the look of a mythical monster.
