A South African man says he has found a way of scaring crocodiles away – he flashes his naked bum at them.
Million Gume of Limpopo calls it bum swimming.
“I’m the king of the bum swim,” he laughs and demonstrates by diving into the water and sticking his naked bum in the air.
Million told the Daily Sun that he has been swimming in the Luvuvhu River for five years. The rivers in the area are known to have many crocodiles and many locals have lost their lives in the dark water.
“The crocodiles are scared of me! When I jump into the water and realise that the crocodiles want to attack me, I just show them my bum and they move away. I then carry on with my famous bum swim.”
He said people who come to the river enjoy watching him.
George Matiyani, headman of the Mhinga Tribal Authority, said Million must watch out.
“The crocodiles aren’t scared of his bum. They will drag his bum into the deep waters and chew him up,” he said.
