Just when we thought the Darwin awards could take no more nominees , meet the people posing with the largest and most dangerous reptile in the world , all for a selfie . Photos and video have appeared on social media of two young women smiling , posing and snapping photos with large crocodiles at Darwin 's Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve . In the video , a woman can be seen to be unfazed by the beast and takes nonchalant snaps mere metres from it 's jaws . SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Flirting with danger , the woman places a vodka bottle in front of the large croc and snaps a photo . A selfie posted on Instagram shows a young women a mere metre from a crocodile at Fogg Dam in Darwin . At one point the woman even places a Crystal Head Vodka bottle just centimetres from the distressed crocodile before he lunges into the air , to which she just laughs . In another case , on Instagram , a woman poses with another large crocodile for a selfie , captioning the image by stating she did not want to get much closer , even though she was just over a metre from its claws . The Northern Territory is littered with signs to warn people of the dangers of crocodiles . The Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory have issued a direct warning to those wanting to snap a selfie with a crocodile . They have warned the public to be 'crocwise ' and keep a safe distance of at least 15 metres . The Northern Territory is notorious for its freshwater and saltwater crocodile population , with certain areas averaging 15 crocodiles per kilometre . Salt water crocodiles can grow to five metres in length , weigh 450 kilograms and last year killed more people than any other year with the 'freshies ' remaining more timid and fearful . However , this does not rule out the possibility of an attack by a freshwater crocodile , especially with passerby 's getting too close for comfort . Just last January , a 12-year-old boy was taken by a crocodile while swimming with friends in a river in Kakadu . As more and more people arrive to take photos , the distressed crocodile wanders back down the bank . And in June a 62-year-old man was taken , also in Kakadu , whilst he was fishing in his boat when a five-metre salt water crocodile launched itself into the boat , grabbing him and dragging him under the water while his distressed family watched from the river bank . Even though the state is riddled with recognisable crocodile warning signs , tourists and locals seem to be downplaying the dangers for that next level selfie .
Selfies have appeared online with young girls posing with huge crocodiles . The animals are believed to be part of a crocodile breeding program in the area.
