5.5m saltwater croc Brutus photographed on Adelaide River Jumping Croc Cruises

THIS 5.5m saltwater croc has given a boatload of tourists a moment they'll never forget.

And yes, it’s real, says photographer Katrina Bridgeford who took the picture on board Adelaide River Jumping Croc Cruises, the Northern Territory News reports.

Ms Bridgeford was on the cruise with her family when they came face to face with Brutus.

The huge saltwater crocodile, missing its right front leg after a run-in with a shark, is a favourite with tourists on the on the Adelaide River, just over 100km south of Darwin.

“I wasn't expecting anything like this. I couldn't believe how close it got to us. If you put your hand out, you would've touched it,” Ms Bridgeford told the Northern Territory News.

Jumping crocodile cruises are a major tourist attraction in the Territory with several operators providing their services along the croc-infested Adelaide River.

I thought that at first too.  Although reading a lot of comments under the story in the link people are saying it's not doctored and they have been there and seen the croc before.  Here's a couple of extra pics that have since been added to the link, same pics but bigger:
