“Tell me you’re in Australia without telling me you’re in Australia,” jokes one commenter on Vincent Bates’s viral TikTok video showing a shark swimming by a croc. In the footage, a lemon shark swims next to a crocodile, which is sitting motionless in the shallow surf. The shark then joins several other lemon sharks a short distance away from the croc. Bates is a professional skipper and fishing guide, and he says this took place in his “front yard.”

The TikTok community had fun with this one.
“Lovely day for a swim mate,” writes one person.
“Kind of takes the fun out of living by the water,” quips another.
“Just off the top of my head I’m saying this is Australia,” jokes a third person.
Apparently, this scene is quite normal for Bates. He has shared similar videos since this one went viral.

While the following video didn’t go viral, I think it’s way cooler. This one shows a croc and a shark “fighting for territory” on the beach:
