You're not watching a deleted scene form Jurassic Park, this video shows just another day in the life of the Northern Territory Police, Fire and Emergency Services.

A huge 4.3m saltwater crocodile was captured in a cage, and these brave men and women had the task of tying it down and for a few seconds, the beast gets away.

There's no shame in running away.

There's no shame in running away.

As remote sergeant Mark Berry says "it was a bit of an unorthodox extraction".

"He got a little bit away from us but we ended up getting hold of him."

This croc is off to become part of a breeding program in Darwin while emergency services will leave the trap in the waterhole because there is "a larger one in the waterhole that is still posing a threat to safety".

A LARGER one!

Look at the size of the croc, then look at the size of the truck behind it.
