That's my head, but I'm in no danger.  This photo was taken from a small tour boat at a Crocodile Farm where they farm crocs for meat and hide, plus they have a nice sanctuary for born-in-the-wild crocs and other animals.  They have hung a chicken over the side of the boat to get the croc to jump for the food.  Salt-water crocodiles are the largest crocs in the world.  They have documented them at 23' long and claims are that there are larger.  They are unusual in that they can live in salt water but prefer to make their homes in freshwater creeks where they empty into the ocean.  Then they can go back and forth.  Fortunately or unfortunately, the Port Hinchinbrook area where we live is FULL of creeks emptying into the ocean and has the highest concentration of crocs on the east coast.  We do see them occasionally.
