THIS is the amazing moment a crocodile attacked and SURVIVED while swimming in a lake in Brazil.

Ignoring warnings that the lake was full of predators, the victim decided to swim in Lago do Amor in Campo Grande, a popular tourist spot.

Willian Cayetano, who captured the incident on October 23, spotted a man making a dangerous dive around 4:40 p.m.

When the swimmer was about 30 meters from the shore, he saw a crocodile quickly walking through the water towards him.

He tried to swim to shore as quickly as possible before the crocodile attacked him and bit him on the arm.
