What looks to be a suicidal fish seen innocently swimming after a monster saltwater crocodile is revealed to be George the friendly giant grouper - and he has no reason to fear the apex predator ahead of him. In a curious video uploaded to Reddit, a large crocodile can be seen cruising out from under a bridge in Port Douglas, Far North Queensland, followed closely by an enormous fish, which actually appears to following the massive reptile. While the Reddit user who spotted the strange scene believed the fish to be an oversized cod, it's actually a completely different species.    A fishing tour operator from the tourist spot told Daily Mail Australia the fish in the clip is a local legend, George the Queensland grouper. George is known for ruling the roost around the public jetty. A still from the video posted to reddit by Whateverpeanut shows a monster crocodile being pursued by an enormous Queensland grouper 'George has been there over 20 years and he wouldn't be movin
