A crocodile has been captured swimming in a Northern Territory waterway with an entire cow in its mouth.
The hungry beast was filmed on Thursday morning by local boreman Mick Estens, who was travelling by helicopter above the King River.
Estens found the four-metre crocodile swimming upstream around 25km from the Katherine Bridge, dragging the large Brahman cow by its side.

'We were on our way to put a pump in the water out at Manbulloo Station when we spotted him from the air,' Mr Estens told NT News.
'He obviously had just snapped up a Brahman for his breakfast and was looking pretty pleased with himself.'

Brahman cattle are a large breed of cow, with an average adult female weighing in at 600kg, and males reaching as much as 1,100kg.
Mr Estens said the cow carcass was spotted on Saturday, floating near the meeting of the King and Katherine River.
'I was glad he was filling himself up with a Brahman and not a boreman that’s for sure,' he said.
