Authorities in Queensland opened an investigation into the ‘extremely dangerous’ act, with the state’s premier calling Holston a ‘goose’

Australian authorities are investigating an American influencer who filmed himself wrestling wild crocodiles in Queensland, condemning the “extremely dangerous and illegal” activity.

In a series of videos on his Instagram, bare-chested Mike Holston, who goes by “therealtarzann” online, tussles with saltwater and freshwater crocodiles.

In one post, he dives into the water, emerging holding the crocodile by its throat with blood streaming from his elbow.

“He got a hold of me, but I got a hold of him,” Holston says.
