Footage has emerged of an enormous crocodile sprinting toward a man at a wildlife park as a terrified crowd watched on.<\/p>\n

The Cuban beast named Chainsaw was seen leaping towards him and opening its jaw to reveal it's razor-sharp teeth, in a video that was taken at Gatorland Orlando wildlife reserve in Florida.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the man it was chasing sprinted to get out of its way while visitors at the park watched on with bated breath until it waddled away.<\/p>\n

The US theme park posted the clip on Facebook where it has hit more than 1.4 million views so far, with the caption: "Chainsaw in action. Our amazing Cuban crocodile."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many internet users were bowled over by the agile crocodile which was able to jump and run at speed, Mirror reports. <\/p>\n

One user wrote: "I\u2019ve never seen croc or alligator run like that. WTH."<\/p>\n

Another added: "I've never seen a croc jump and run at the same time! That\u2019s gonna be a no for me bro lol."<\/p>\n

A third said: "I didn\u2019t think they ran like that, thought it was more of a \u2018waddle\u2019 than a run. Slow motion really shows it well."<\/p>\n

"Did not realise they hopped like frogs. I thought they ran alternating legs," a fourth commented.<\/p>\n

However, Chainsaw's moves are not out of the ordinary as the species are known for being strong swimmers and adept at walking and leaping.<\/p>\n

The critters are equally at home in water on land and can leap from rivers to catch their prey.<\/p>\n

Using their powerful tail thrust, they can push themselves out of the water to catch birds and mammals in overhanging tree branches.<\/p>\n

Modest in size, they grow up to 7.5ft and typical weigh up to 12.8st.<\/p>\n

Despite their medium size, they are highly aggressive animals, and potentially dangerous to humans.<\/p>\n
