Not your average speed hump! Stubborn crocodile blocks a major outback road and refuses to move for a 4WD in the dead of night while the driver yells at the maneater

A stubborn crocodile has caused a massive roadblock in outback Australia, refusing to move for a 4WD until the driver impatiently used his horn.

Jordan Waterbury shared footage to TikTok showing his vehicle stopped in its tracks late at night by the monster croc in the Northern Territory.

The video begins by tracking how the vehicle slowly approaches a submerged part of a remote road, as Mr Waterbury honks the car horn at the crocodile gliding through the water.

The crocodile begins to approach the stopped vehicle before it suddenly makes a huge splash and quickly turns in the opposite direction.

Mr Waterbury shouts 'get off the road' as the croc leers back into the darkness.

The mammoth beast refuses to move off the road for several seconds, creating a clear blockage.

It isn't until the driver uses his car horn for a second time that the stubborn croc decides to move off the road and swiftly crawl into the darkness.

Many users of the social media site joked that the reptile was a sort of speed hump seen in the outback.

One user wrote: 'Roadblock? That's just a speed bump.'

'Just an outback speed hump,' wrote another.

However, another individual believed the vehicle's bright headlights may have confused the croc.

'The lights disoriented him. He hasn't got a clue where to go,' they said.

The Northern Territory has the world's largest wild crocodile population, with over 100,000 in the wild.

Crocodiles can be located more than 200km from the coast in freshwater lakes.

Individuals living in croc-infested regions are asked to avoid the animals in the wild and observe any signs to stay safe.

Then Apple, in particular, puts great pressure on lawmakers with promises of economic investments or threats to withdraw its money, and the law has stalled.
