Photographer Julia Sundukova was exploring Andasibe National Park when she captured the incredible image.
But he admitted that he pulled the trigger without even realizing that a hungry hidden guest was lurking.
A Russian nature lover only discovered she was dangerously close to a deadly crocodile when she got home.
He explained that he noticed the disguised beast among the vegetation when he began to study his images.
Julia admitted that the close conversation with the crocodile “gave her goosebumps” because she couldn’t believe how well it hid.
The 44-year-old said: “I was exploring the area around the cabin and came across a large lake surrounded by rainforest.
“It wasn’t until I looked at the footage that I noticed the eye and then realized it was a crocodile!
– My hair stood on end, I was so close to this hunter.
The photographer was amazed by the reptile’s ability to blend in with its surroundings while remaining perfectly still.
Julia added: “Crocodiles can hold the same position for a long time, which is probably why I didn’t realize it at first.
“It’s fantastic how they can hide in the grass and become part of the landscape.”
So can you spot the cunning crocodile in time to save yourself?
If you look closely, you’ll notice something sinister floating in the lower left corner.
Those brave enough to approach them may have been able to detect which eye was looking directly at them.
Julia believes it was a Nile crocodile camouflaged among the colorful bushes of the national park.
The species can grow up to 16 feet and generally hunts its prey in swamps, rivers, and lakes throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
Freshwater crocodiles bite a variety of animals and attack their targets at the perfect time.
They have been known to wait hours, days, and even weeks for the perfect opportunity to strike.
The Nile crocodile is one of the most dangerous reptiles to walk the earth, responsible for hundreds of human deaths each year.
Experts estimate that they attack up to 745 people a year, with 63 percent of cases ending in death.
