Mitchell Orval has caused controversy by sharing a video of his young son playing near a saltwater crocodile.
In the video, which was posted on Instagram but appears to have been deleted, one of the Australian influencer’s young children wanders along the coast of Tiwi Island in the Northern Territory, where the family is on holiday.
The video then pans across the sand to the water where a crocodile hovers, just meters away from the child, who appears to be one-year-old Sunny, whom he shares with fellow influencer Chloe Szepanowski.
He captioned the footage: “On the retirement beach.”
An earlier post showed father and son hugging before the outing and was captioned: “See some huge crocodiles.”
