An underwater camera captured footage of a freshwater crocodile moments after it bit an Australian teenager.

Cameron Timms, 14, was swimming at El Questro’s Moonshine Gorge in Western Australia with his family when he was bitten, The Kimberly Echo reported.

In a video, taken with the Timms’ GoPro seconds after the incident, a crocodile swims around the family and then quickly swims away.

“We were just standing in a group and I was swimming through the middle when all of a sudden I felt something on the side of me,” Cameron told the Kimberly Echo. 

Cameron’s father, Mark Timms, said the family wasn’t aware that the freshwater crocodile had bitten Cameron until they watched the video footage later, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported.

“Cameron felt it bump him and then … not very long after his elbow hurt a little bit and had a look and it was bleeding, and so he hopped out, and his stomach was bleeding a little bit, and his elbow had quite a lot of blood coming out of it,” Mark told ABC.

Cameron sustained puncture wounds on his stomach and elbow, but was not seriously injured, according to the Echo. 

Freshwater crocodiles are generally shy and avoid humans, so Mark Timms told ABC the family believes the bite was “accidental.”
