This is the moment a crocodile managed to scale a 4ft fence - before diving down into a lake in India.
The massive predator scaled the metal barrier with ease before plunging four metres down into the water below in the Boondi district of Rajasthan.
Photographer Ram Kishan captured the moment on his phone as he witnessed the seven-foot reptile's acrobatics.

Kishan said he was shocked the 250lb beast had the strength to make the climb and leap.
The 30-year-old said: 'I arrived at the spot in late evening and there was this crocodile moving towards the lake.
'I clicked one photograph just like that but when I noticed that it was moving towards the lake, I stayed back to see what would happen.
'The light was very low so I could only capture a few images. I really missed my camera at that moment.'
The reptile soon disappeared under the water having leaped up
Later, when the photographer enquired about the crocodile, villagers told him it had been seen on land around the lake for the last three days.
They said through her movements around the lake it appeared she was looking for a safe place to lay eggs.
Female crocodiles in the area nest and lay eggs from March through to May.
