The dangerous stunt was filmed in Australia earlier this year and amassed almost half a million views before it was deleted.
An unnerving video captures the shirtless influencer standing barefoot in the water before forcefully plucking the animal from the creek.
The creature appears distressed as he flails his tail, while being gripped firmly around the neck.
Speaking in a voiceover, Colton said: "Hey guys, I'm in Australia right now, and we just yoinked a freshwater croc,' Macaulay explained in a voiceover.
"I don't think he was happy about it because he started making these sounds like a chainsaw. Or maybe that's the sound they make when they decide to cry like a little b***h.'
The bizarre video, captioned "catching crocodiles in Australia", has since received a barrage of criticism.
One concerned viewer said: "How stupid are you?"
While others condemned the act as "thoughtless", calling the influencer "stupid" and a "moron".
Meanwhile, World Animal Protection Australia director Ben Pearson slammed the handling of the croc as "unacceptable", calling it "cruelty for the sake of content".
He told the Mail Online: "This is cruelty for the sake of content, and we know the general public would agree handling freshwater crocs in this way is unacceptable.
American influencer sparks outrage in Australia after taking baby wombat from its mom- heads to follow
"Crocodiles are not a photo prop or plaything, and they should be treated with respect.
"Just a quick look at this influencer's account and you can see multiple videos where they're interfering with Aussie wildlife in their homes, from cassowaries to wobbegong sharks.
"Our iconic Australian animals, like all wildlife, are best loved from a distance."
Freshwater crocodiles are native to northern Australia and whilst not considered dangerous they can bite if they feel threatened.
A permit is required to handle them.
Colton's shocking video comes just months after an American hunting influencer sparked outrage after she filmed a video of herself snatching a baby wombat from its mother.
Sam Jones, who claims to be a "wildlife biologist and environmental scientist" posted the now deleted video on Instagram capturing the moment she picked up the animal and ran with it as it dangled around in the air.
After racing across the road with the startled wombat, Jones held it up to the camera and said: "I caught a baby wombat!"
Meanwhile, the baby wombat's mother chased after Jones, appearing extremely distressed.
This was noticed by the man filming the video who said: "Look at the mother, it's chasing after her."
Jones said: 'OK mama's right there and she is p***ed, let's let him go."

Joe Rogan loses top spot on YouTube podcast charts
Joe Rogan is no longer the king of podcasts, as a controversial comedian with ties to President Trump has soared past him. According to YouTube's list of the most popular podcasts, the Joe Rogan Experience was dethroned from its number one spot last week by Tony Hinchcliffe's 'Kill Tony' show. Rogan, known for his hours-long interviews with high-profile guests who discuss everything from UFO conspiracies to global politics, had been atop the charts since late May. The show has consistently spent weeks and months as the number one podcast on multiple platforms, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts. However, the timing of Rogan's ratings defeat is raising eyebrows, as the podcast star has recently begun criticizing the Trump Administration for its handling of deportations, the conflict with Iran , and the Jeffrey Epstein case. In November, Rogan famously endorsed Trump for president days after the two men sat down for an interview that's been viewed more than 59 million times on YouTube. Meanwhile, Hinchcliffe, an insult comic known for his dark humor, has kept his show in the realm of comedy, primarily booking fellow comedians, many who openly support Trump and MAGA Republicans. Kill Tony's rise to number one during the week of July 7 to July 13 is not without controversy, as the president actually disavowed knowing Hinchcliffe after he called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage' during a Trump rally. 'I apologize to absolutely nobody. Not to the Puerto Ricans, not to the Whites, not to the Blacks, not to the Palestinians, not to the Jews, and not to my own mother, who I made fun of during the set,' Hinchcliffe said on his podcast after the October 27 rally. He did admit that Trump's event at New York's Madison Square Garden 'wasn't the best [expletive] place to do this set.' 'That's what I do, and that's never going to change,' Hinchcliffe added. The comedian's doubling down on his Trump rally jokes has seemingly been the fuel to his post-election success. In March, Hinchcliffe signed a deal with Netflix to turn the Kill Tony show into three comedy specials. The first one aired on April 7. While Rogan is by no means struggling in the ratings like other Trump critics have since the election, the timing of his show's decline lines up exactly with his recent attacks on the White House. On July 2, Rogan unleashed on the Trump Administration's move to target places of work during their crackdown on illegal immigration while interviewing Amjad Masad, the co-founder of cloud-based coding platform Replit. 'It's kind of disappointing. It's insane... There's two things that are insane. One is the targeting of migrant workers. Not cartel members, not gang members, not drug dealers, just construction workers showing up in construction sites and raiding them... Like really?' Rogan said. A week earlier, Rogan came out against US involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran. Speaking with Senator Bernie Sanders on June 24 , Rogan claimed that Trump's MAGA coalition was on the brink of a civil war, citing the president's promise to keep America out of foreign wars. 'I think the whole MAGA thing right now is very divided, particularly because one of the things they voted for was no war. Well, now it seems like we're in a war,' Rogan told Sanders, another fierce Trump critic. 'It's quick, we're six months in and that's already popped off and then people are very concerned with now what happens to our troops overseas that are in these bases that are in vulnerable positions,' the podcast host added. On Tuesday, Rogan may have made his most controversial claims about the Trump White House's decision to attack Iran's nuclear facilities - alleging that the move took attention away from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Rogan was quoting a news report on the case that mentioned the mystery still surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files after US Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed to have tens of thousands of videos featuring the infamous financier and minors. ' The comment made to reporters at the White House days after a similar remark [was made] to a stranger with a hidden camera raised the stakes with President Donald Trump's administration to prove it has in its possession previously unseen compelling documents or... just bomb Iran and everybody forgets about,' Rogan said. 'Just bomb Iran. Yeah, everybody forgets about it,' he claimed. Rogan joins other Trump allies who eventually disagreed with the president and saw their businesses take an immediate dip, including Elon Musk. Musk famously saw his companies, namely Tesla, take a massive market hit following his public falling out with President Trump in late May. The public war of words between Musk and Trump intensified in early June and it had a direct impact on Tesla's stock price. Investors expressed concerns over the potential loss of federal support for Tesla and Musk's other ventures like SpaceX, as well as the perceived political risk tied to Musk feuding with the president. By the close of trading on June 6, 2025, Tesla's stock had fallen approximately 14 percent, resulting in a loss of over $150 billion in market value. It was the largest single-day drop in Tesla's history. For Rogan, his podcast also sits in second place on Apple Podcasts, trailing ABC News' true crime series 'Devil in the Desert.' On Spotify, the Joe Rogan Experience podcast still holds the number one spot, followed by another MAGA supporter that has recently criticized Trump and Bondi's handling of the Epstein case - The Tucker Carlson Show.

If you're looking for something to do this weekend, here are 15 of the best activities, dining, and drinking spots in the capital. By Martina Andretta In a city overrun by muted palettes and industrial-chic interiors, stumbling into The Laughing Yak feels like being let in on a brilliant secret. This tiny Nepalese restaurant isn't just colourful – it's a full-on sensory jolt. A maximalist dreamscape of shiny crockery, cloud-like pendants, dog-shaped chopstick holders and Nepalese string puppets that swing cheerfully. It's weird, whimsical and totally wonderful – and somehow, it's been flying under the radar during its first year in Dalston. The food is every bit as lively as the decor. I came for the momos, which were juicy and comforting, but not even close to stealing the show. The channa chatpate – a crunchy salad of puffed rice and potato, dressed with yoghurt and tamarind – is tangy and addictive. The thali plates (with meat, fish or veggie options) cover all the bases, giving you a chance to taste a selection of dishes. But a public service announcement: do not skip dessert. The gulab jamun – soft, spongy doughnuts with pistachio candy floss, cardamom toffee sauce and clotted cream ice cream are dangerously good. One of my favourite finds of the year. Nibbles from £5.90, thukpa from £12.90. 499 Kingsland Rd, Dalston, E8 4AU . Book here. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 🇮🇳Trishna (@trishnalondon) By Beatrice Aidin In Medieval times, 'a moment' was considered 90 seconds. In Marylebone at Michelin-starred restaurant Trishna, I tasted the tenderest coconut salmon encased in a green curry leaf, which was so exceptional I had, well, a moment. I was sampling the summer menu Taste of the Western Ghats, the mountainous range in southern India full of biodiversity where Trishna's cuisine hails from. I kicked off with a Chilli Konkan Cooler from a cocktail collaboration with sustainable Diaspora Spice. For obvious reasons, beef is seldom served in Indian restaurants, yet beef short rib coconut fry features as a nod to the Syrian Christian community in Kerala – a rich delightful surprise. It comes with dal, potatoes, rice and naan, as does the Goan prawn biryani, packed with luscious crustaceans. Sorry Charli XCX, this year I'm calling it Ghat Summer. Until 31 August. 3 courses, £50; 4 courses, £55. Available from 12-2:30pm and 5-6:15pm. 15 Blandford Street, London W1 3DG. Book here It's almost time to raise a (pint) glass at London's Craft Beer Festival. With over 100 breweries serving up over 800 different beers (all included in your ticket), beer lovers will be in brew heaven. There's some impressive food to help you soak up all that ale, including epic ramen from Bone Daddies and tasty fried chicken from Chick N' Sours. Grab your tickets! By Sarah Hooper At Hidden Grooves, the devil is truly in the detail. A well thought-out selection of 1970s tracks and meticulously curated knick-knacks provide the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a cocktail with a few appetizers – I recommend the crispy dates with stilton & bacon (trust me, it works). The drinks are as creative as the décor. Each is based on an album from Virgin Records in the 1970s, ranging from Peter Gabriel to Phaedra. 'Punk Punch', based on the Sex Pistols' 'God Save The Queen' is a refreshing twist on a spicy margarita. The mango and chili agave give a smoky spice that's just right, but if you're looking for a standout drink, the star is 'The Decanter'. Based on 10CC's Original Soundtrack, the self-described twist on an Old Fashioned is an absolute knock out. The smoked decanter adds drama, but the thyme and croissant syrup make it a drink that's hard to forget. Reasonably priced, unique, and perfect for date night. Signature cocktails from £15, wine from £10, small plates from £8. 45 Curtain Rd, Hidden Grooves, EC2A 3PT. Book here. Best for: the ultimate dinner party dessert As far as ice cream combinations go, this one is the trendy new kid on the block. Citizens of Soil are enhancing the sweet goodness of vanilla soft serve with rich extra virgin olive oil as part of the Olive Oil Clubhouse, the UK's first ever olive oil bar. In collaboration with ice cream legends Happy Endings, make your choice between vanilla soft serve or chocolate sorbet. Citizens of Soil pop-up. 2 Blenheim Crescent, Notting Hill. 19-29 July. No booking needed, just turn up. Best for: feeling grown up Whether you're after ice cream, wine, or both, The Dreamery the chicest spot to unwind and escape the heat. Flavours are experimental and ever-changing, so expect surprises and maybe even find your new favourite. The hand-painted ceiling is breathtaking, making it hard to leave. Be ready to queue for a bit, but it's absolutely worth the wait. The Dreamery, Islington. Ice cream from £4. Wine from £7.50. Walk-in only. Best for: le chic!

Woman spends £250k to become Barbie – now her ‘before' photos are shocking the internet
Scroll down to see the shocking 'before' snaps PLASTIC FANTASIC Woman spends £250k to become Barbie – now her 'before' photos are shocking the internet Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN who forked out a whopping £250,000 on plastic surgery has left people stunned after revealing what she used to look like. Appearing on the latest episode of former Love Island star Olivia Attwood's ITV documentary series Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, the woman revealed why she chose to change her looks so drastically. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Olivia was stunned by Alicia's pictures from before going under the knife Credit: ITV 5 As well as surgery, makeup, hair, and clothing make up Alicia's look Credit: ITV 5 Alicia underwent an eye-watering £250,00 of surgery Credit: ITV Over the course of the six episodes, the Loose Woman panellist met with various experts and patients to get a closing look at the world of cosmetic surgery. But it was when Olivia met Alicia towards the end of the latest episode that people were left stunned. Alicia's £250,000 left her looking completely unrecognisable, with large lips, breasts and long platinum blonde hair to complete the look. The surgery fan even donned a pink outfit and accessories in a bid to look more like Barbie. At one point in the episode, Olivia was taken aback by a scrapbook full of old pictures of Alicia. Inside were pictures of Alicia taken when she was around 18-years-old, in 2016, but the girl looked nothing like the Alicia standing next to Olivia. Despite having the same blonde hair, the surgery fan looked much more natural, sporting a casual outfit and nothing too attention grabbing. Olivia gasped at the before pictures: "Oh. My. God." Then, speaking about if she knew her look would change so drastically, Alicia confessed: "To people who really knew me back then, knew what I was like, it wouldn't be a big shock because I've always sort of been quite outgoing and confident and sexual and stuff like that." In complete shock, Olivia continued to flip through the pictures, pinpointing different stages of Alicia's cosmetic journey, from breast implants, to a rhinoplasty. Olivia Attwood admits it was HER who warned Ella Rae Wise about ex Chris Hughes as she breaks silence But despite what some might assume, Alicia said her surgery has never stopped her from doing anything. "I choose my health and my looks over everything so I spend a lot of money on the stuff I put into my body such as food and that kind of thing. "And I spend a lot of money on getting the right kind of filler, the best products," she explained. The surgery lover also revealed that she'd never want to go back to her old self, even as she gets older. "I just have such a fun life and I would never want it to change," she said. 5 Alicia looked totally different in the old photos she showed to Olivia Credit: ITV 5 Alicia went under the knife to achieve her dream look Credit: ITV What are the risks of getting surgery abroad? IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks. Safety standards in different countries may not be as high. No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad. If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment. Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK. Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems. Source: NHS
