The reptilian thief stole the cooler while Wolhuter and Rowena Mould, 70, were out spotting game at the Rietspruit Game Reserve in Greater Kruger National Park Area, The New York Post has reported.
The pair had just seen a cheetah and were sitting down to a eat lunch when a crocodile came out of a a nearby body of water and decided to join the party.
In the clip, the croc could be seen next to a food spread in front of their safari truck.
The picnicker could be heard saying “This is not playing cricket — go back into the water.”
The camera then panned to the safari-goers, who took refuge in the Jeep.

In this case, humans didn’t appear to be the object of the croc’s desire.
In the ensuing frames, the crocodile could be seen lounging in the water, clutching a blue drink cooler that he’d reportedly commandeered from the picnic.
“This is not very gentlemanly behavior,” said Wolhuter.
Just when the clip couldn’t get any stranger, a second croc lunged at the cooler in the water, prompting the two predators to engage in a tug of war.
“Geez,” said Wolhuter of the spectacle. “Two crocs on it.”
