We've all seen the 'yoink' man haven't we?

The man who swims in the Florida everglades looking for 'swamp puppies', or as we call them alligators... well, there's a female version of him.

Introducing TikTok creator Jules who posted absolutely insane footage of her swimming at night in crocodile-infested waters. Where is she from? Florida, of course.

"Let's go swimming at night in the Florida Keys," she says in the recording.

"Step one is shining the light and making sure no crocodile eyes are shining back at us [shines a torch on the water]... looks good to me so lets get on in."

Then the terrifying video begins, well it's terrifying for me anyway - I can't watch videos of people dangling off cranes either.

"Just spotted a big boy barracuda. Already spotted a little crab," the adrenaline junkie says, and with each time she mentions what is lurking in the water, you're just waiting for a croc to pounce.

The footage is incredible to watch as she is seemingly not bothered by the fact crocodiles roam the waters in the Keys.

It's mainly alligators rather than crocodiles that have a habit of attacking Floridians - with over 450 alligator attacks on residents in the Sunshine State from 1948 to 2022, 30 of which ended in death, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

That said, crocodiles - which live in the Keys - are much more aggressive than alligators, who are opportunistic feeders so less likely to chase you.

Two swimmers were attacked last month in a canal in the state and according to wildlife officials 26-year-old Alejandro Jimenez, 23-year-old Lisset Rendon became the first people to be attacked in the US by the American crocodile.

The attack happened at 2.30am while at a house party in South Miami.

That obviously didn't scare Jules, she continues: "My favourite thing ever is to just sit in the mangroves and see what comes by."

The viral sensation then begins to scream when a tiny fish comes close to her... I don't think you need to worry about them, Jules!

She says: "A little newt fish was attacking me - if you don't know I've been stabbed by one before so they scare me.

"I saw a spider crab hanging out in the piling; they are the coolest.

"There's a little baby lobster running around; oh my gosh it's so cute."

It might be entertaining to watch, but please don't go swimming with crocodiles, guys.
