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.
In another, Holston jumps off a boat and into a bushy waterway in pursuit of a crocodile, which he then wrestles.
Holston has said the videos, which have amassed millions of views, were for “educational purposes.”
But the videos prompted outrage in Australia, where the maximum penalty for interfering with a saltwater crocodile is $24,800.
The state of Queensland said Wednesday it was “actively investigating” the two videos.
“These actions are extremely dangerous and illegal, and we are actively exploring strong compliance action including fines to deter any person from this type of behaviour,” its environment department said. “Let us be clear: people should not attempt to capture freshwater or saltwater crocodiles in Queensland, unless they are trained and licensed to do so.”
The state’s Premier David Crisafulli also called the influencer a “goose.”
Holston did not respond to requests for comment.
“These posts can have disastrous consequences”
Australia’s famously diverse flora and fauna is highly protected and attempts to interfere with it can face strict penalties.
“People visiting our country need to respect our wildlife, or they need to be booted out the door,” he said in a statement released to Australian media.
“These posts can have disastrous consequences for both people and wildlife,” Irwin said.
Government figures estimate there are between 20,000 and 30,000 saltwater crocodiles in Queensland in a vast area known as “Croc Country.”
Both saltwater and freshwater crocodiles can measure to 13 feet long, with male saltwater crocs weighing over 600 pounds and male freshwater crocs weighing as much as 132 pounds,
They are a protected and vulnerable species and have been known to attack humans.
“Due to their size and their territorial, opportunistic nature, saltwater crocodiles are considered an aggressive species,” the Queensland environment department says. “Basically, once these crocs reach adult size, any creature they can overpower is fair game. If a human encroaches on a saltwater croc’s territory, the croc may decide to attack.”
Between December 1985 and April 2024, there were 34 non-fatal attacks and 14 fatal attacks by wild saltwater crocodiles in Queensland.
In August 2024, police said human remains were found inside a large crocodile suspected of killing a tourist in Australia. A month before that, a 12-year-old girl was snatched by a crocodile while swimming with her family in a creek in the Northern Territory. Her remains were found days later and wildlife rangers shot dead a 14-foot crocodile.

A new study found that more than 200 heat waves, including the China heatwave in 2013, were substantially more likely and intense because of the activity of major fossil fuel producers.

The 2021 heat dome in the Pacific Northwest that overwhelmed emergency rooms and left hundreds dead. The 2022 heat wave in India that devastated the wheat harvest. The deadly heat waves in France in 2003, and China in 2013.
A new study links these recent heat waves — and more than 200 others — to human-caused climate change, and the greenhouse gas pollution of major fossil fuel producers.
The new study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, found that 213 heat waves were substantially more likely and intense because of the activity of major fossil fuel producers, also called carbon majors. They include oil, coal and cement companies, as well as some countries.
The scientists found as much as a quarter of the heat waves would be “virtually impossible” without the climate pollution from major fossil fuel producers. Some individual fossil fuel companies, such as ExxonMobil, Chevron and BP, had emissions high enough to cause some of the more extreme heat waves, the research found.
”The main findings show clearly that the carbon majors play very important roles for those recent heat waves that were analyzed,” says Sonia Seneviratne, climate scientist at ETH Zürich, a university in Switzerland, and one of the co-authors of the study.
”This is an important part of the equation,” Seneviratne says, “to basically provide better quantification of their responsibility.”
ExxonMobil, Chevron and BP did not respond to NPR’s requests for comment.
At least 489,000 people died annually from heat between 2000 and 2019, according to the World Health Organization, many from climate-change fueled heat waves.
Climate researchers say as more and more states, cities and countries file suit against oil companies for climate-change related damages, studies attributing particular climate events back to particular corporations and countries could become more important in litigation.
“If you’ve contributed to emissions, you’ve contributed to extreme heat,” says Justin Mankin, geography professor at Dartmouth College, who did not participate in the study but reviewed a copy of it.
“Being able to benchmark it to heat waves with a known societal impact — that’s what I think is actually pretty important about this work,” he says.
For the new study, the scientists looked at something called the disaster database, a global list of disasters maintained by university researchers, to identify heat waves with significant casualties, economic losses and calls for international assistance. The scientists then used historical reconstructions and statistical models to see how human-caused global warming made each heat wave more likely and more intense.
Then, to examine the link to major fossil fuel producers, the researchers relied on the Carbon Majors Database to understand the emissions of major oil, gas, coal and cement producers.
“ We ran a climate model to reconstruct the historical period, and then we ran it again but without the emissions of a specific carbon major, thus deducing its contribution to global warming,” Yann Quilcaille, climate scientist at ETH Zürich and lead author of the study, says in an email.
While some of the contributions to heat waves came from larger well-known fossil fuel companies, the study found that some smaller, lesser-known fossil fuel companies are producing enough greenhouse gas emissions to cause heat waves too, Quilcaille says.
Mankin says of the Trump administration: “They think these emissions don’t actually have societal consequences and Yann’s research and Sonia’s research here shows — very clearly — that these emissions have an undeniable impact on society.
“It’s a deleterious, harmful impact, enhancing the likelihood and magnitude of extreme heat.”
The EPA declined to answer NPR’s question about whether it acknowledges that greenhouse gases released from burning fossil fuels endanger public health. It said in an email that “the agency considered a variety of sources and information in assessing whether the predictions made, and assumptions used, in the 2009 Endangerment Finding are accurate.”
It added: “The public comment period is currently open, and EPA looks forward to receiving them.”

Every game featured in the Nintendo Direct on September 12, 2025. Sign in to add your favorite announcements to your wishlist!
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Will Officially Be Released This December
It’s not too long now until we can see how Samus finds her way off of Viewros by using psychic abilities and the rest of the tools in her arsenal.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be getting amiibo as well, including Samus and Vi-O-La on November 6 and the “enigmatic bounty hunter” Sylux on December 4.
For those who can’t wait for December, a Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective book will hit store shelves on October 28 and feature concept drawings, behind-the-scenes illustrations, and more.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Was Nintendo Direct’s Big Finale
The final announcement for today’s Nintendo Direct was Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, which will be released in 2026. The footage started in what looked like a grand coliseum, and we then got to meet some of the characters we will get to play as, including Cai, who is looking to fight to save his father’s life. We also met a queen named Theodora, a man named Dietrich with a terrifying blade, a girl named Leda who hates someone so much just killing them won’t be enough, and more.
We also learned that the Divine Soverign will be granting a wish to whoever can “stand upon the final stage” at these Heroic Games, which will surely come into play in the game’s story.
Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC Launches Today and We Already Have First Hands-On Impressions
Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island and Emerald Rush DLC Screenshots
Donkey Kong Banaza: DK Island and Emerald Rush paid DLC is out today and adds a ton more to do for the still relatively-new Switch 2 game. DK Island looks to be a new level that has a ton of nods to the history of Donkey Kong, complete with a giant stone Kong face and lots of familiar friends.
The Emerald Rush mode is a challenge option that has you exploring DK Island and other areas to farm Emeralds as fast as possible for Void Kong as an employee of Void Company. There will be mini-goals set against a clock that will end your run early if you fail to complete them, fossils that unlock perks, Banandium Gems to power up DK with “different skills,” and more. This mode will also unlock new fashions and collectable statues that can be displayed on DK Island and more.
We had the chance to try DK Island and Emerald rush early, and we said this DLC “seems like a no-brainer reason to load up that completed save file and go ape-wild on some Emerald while also exploring the most nostalgic, crafted, and cool area (in my opinion) of Donkey Kong Bananza.”
Pokemon Pokopia Is a Cozy Life-Sim/Farming Game Starring a Ditto that Looks Like a Human

Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC Launches Today and We Already Have First Hands-On Impressions
Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island and Emerald Rush DLC Screenshots
Donkey Kong Banaza: DK Island and Emerald Rush paid DLC is out today and adds a ton more to do for the still relatively-new Switch 2 game. DK Island looks to be a new level that has a ton of nods to the history of Donkey Kong, complete with a giant stone Kong face and lots of familiar friends.
The Emerald Rush mode is a challenge option that has you exploring DK Island and other areas to farm Emeralds as fast as possible for Void Kong as an employee of Void Company. There will be mini-goals set against a clock that will end your run early if you fail to complete them, fossils that unlock perks, Banandium Gems to power up DK with “different skills,” and more. This mode will also unlock new fashions and collectable statues that can be displayed on DK Island and more.
We had the chance to try DK Island and Emerald rush early, and we said this DLC “seems like a no-brainer reason to load up that completed save file and go ape-wild on some Emerald while also exploring the most nostalgic, crafted, and cool area (in my opinion) of Donkey Kong Bananza.”
