The dangerous stunt was filmed in Australia earlier this year and amassed almost half a million views before it was deleted.
An unnerving video captures the shirtless influencer standing barefoot in the water before forcefully plucking the animal from the creek.
The creature appears distressed as he flails his tail, while being gripped firmly around the neck.
Speaking in a voiceover, Colton said: "Hey guys, I'm in Australia right now, and we just yoinked a freshwater croc,' Macaulay explained in a voiceover.
"I don't think he was happy about it because he started making these sounds like a chainsaw. Or maybe that's the sound they make when they decide to cry like a little b***h.'
The bizarre video, captioned "catching crocodiles in Australia", has since received a barrage of criticism.
One concerned viewer said: "How stupid are you?"
While others condemned the act as "thoughtless", calling the influencer "stupid" and a "moron".
Meanwhile, World Animal Protection Australia director Ben Pearson slammed the handling of the croc as "unacceptable", calling it "cruelty for the sake of content".
He told the Mail Online: "This is cruelty for the sake of content, and we know the general public would agree handling freshwater crocs in this way is unacceptable.

"Crocodiles are not a photo prop or plaything, and they should be treated with respect.
"Just a quick look at this influencer's account and you can see multiple videos where they're interfering with Aussie wildlife in their homes, from cassowaries to wobbegong sharks.
"Our iconic Australian animals, like all wildlife, are best loved from a distance."
Freshwater crocodiles are native to northern Australia and whilst not considered dangerous they can bite if they feel threatened.
A permit is required to handle them.
Colton's shocking video comes just months after an American hunting influencer sparked outrage after she filmed a video of herself snatching a baby wombat from its mother.
Sam Jones, who claims to be a "wildlife biologist and environmental scientist" posted the now deleted video on Instagram capturing the moment she picked up the animal and ran with it as it dangled around in the air.
After racing across the road with the startled wombat, Jones held it up to the camera and said: "I caught a baby wombat!"
Meanwhile, the baby wombat's mother chased after Jones, appearing extremely distressed.
This was noticed by the man filming the video who said: "Look at the mother, it's chasing after her."
Jones said: 'OK mama's right there and she is p***ed, let's let him go."

Jack P Shepherd and Hanni Treweek tie the knot as first snaps emerge from lavish wedding

The Corrie star and his new wife have been pictured together for the first time on their wedding day. Telly favourite Jack P Shepherd and Hanni Treweek have officially tied the knot. The Coronation Street star and his new wife were married at Manchester Cathedral today. The first photos from their special day have now emerged. As can be seen in our sister title The Mirror, the couple were all smiles in the pictures from the moments after they said 'I do'. The soap star, best known for his role as David Platt, looked dapper in a suit as he stood next to Hanni. The 37-year-old was seen wearing an off-white suit jacket over a black waistcoat and white shirt, completed with black trousers and a bow tie. Hanni, 36, looked stunning in a long white dress with a full skirt and an impressively long train. Her gown featured a lace, off-the-shoulder top with long sleeves, adding to her elegant bridal look. She finished off her outfit with a lengthy veil, held in place by a tiara. The newlyweds shared a romantic kiss on the steps of Manchester Cathedral, while their delighted guests showered them with confetti. Jack proposed to Hanni last year during a romantic safari trip in Tanzania. The pair had been colleagues on the popular soap before their relationship blossomed. The soap actor previously revealed that his participation in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year was to help fund their extravagant wedding day, although he didn't anticipate winning the ITV reality show. In the run-up to their big day, the couple offered sneak peeks into their planning process, which they've been undertaking with the help of events company Taylor Lynn Corporation. Hanni shared highlights from the planning process on Instagram, including a photo of the day she said yes to the dress, as well as when she chose the wine for their wedding. She revealed charming details, such as how she and Jack "built our guest list in this cosy little cabin". As she celebrated the four-week countdown to her wedding in the post, she said: "Here's to four weeks of making special memories, feeling excited, nervous, overwhelmed, emotional, in love and everything else that comes with being a bride". Groom Jack responded with: "It's gonna be EPIC!". Meanwhile, Jack previously provided a glimpse into their wedding plans when asked on Good Morning Britain if he planned to invite his Celebrity Big Brother housemates to his big day. Jack admitted: "I don't think so. I've only known them three weeks and have a guest list a mile long." Jack and Hanni first met when his now-bride appeared on Coronation Street – she later worked on the soap as a storyline writer. However, sparks didn't fly until they reunited at a friend's wedding sometime later. Jack previously reminisced: "We got chatting, I made Hanni laugh, we had a couple of drinks and we flirted. That was it." The duo started seeing each other later that year after a chance encounter at a supermarket. Jack humorously commented on the awkwardness of their meeting, while Hanni was worried about her looks. However, Jack was completely taken with her, admitting: "I actually thought she looked fit I just saw the girl I fancy wearing lycra! We quickly went on our first date and we just clicked."

The pair first met in 2022, welcomed baby Aria in 2023 and tied the knot in a plush 2024 bash straight out of a fairy tale. But it's not all roses and romance, they're juggling marriage and parenthood from different countries. Karius now plays for German Bundesliga two side Schalke after leaving Newcastle while Diletta's continues her DAZN gig in Milan. But according to the goalkeeper his wife loves it and creates an atmoshphere where its right for them to feel the love even from a distance. He told Sport Bild: 'Diletta even advised me to extend at Schalke. "She thinks the club is great and she likes everything she has seen here so far. "Diletta also thinks that royal blue is the perfect choice for my sporting success. She is fully behind this decision."

The 32-year-old goalkeeper also admitted he's open to a second child even though he's not planned anything yet. He added: "We would love to have a second child, we don't know when yet and nothing concrete is planned so far." The goalie also revealed that his missus is the real celeb in the family – especially in Milan. He added: 'She gets recognised more than me. She's a superstar over there.' But Karius wasn't quite ready for the full Italian family welcome. On meeting Diletta's clan in noisy Sicily, he fled the lunch table and locked himself in the bedroom for a lie-down. His wife Dilette revealed on a podcast: 'He was shattered by life, bless him. 'He said, Please stop, I need a break. "He went upstairs to his room locked himself in and threw himself on the bed destroyed by life." Since his Liverpool nightmare, Karius has done the rounds – Besiktas, Union Berlin, Newcastle and now Schalke in Germany's second tier, where he just signed a deal until 2027. 11 Diletta Leotta is one of DAZN top footie presenters Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 She was in the U.S working during the just ended Club World Cup Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 Every now and then she'd drop a stunning photo on her Instagram page for her followers Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 The presenter first met Karious in 2022 and now they have a daughter Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 Diletta admits Karius couldn't handle meeting her family for the first time Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 She's happy to stay in Milan while her husband stays in Gelsenkirchen playing for Schalke Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta 11 Italian television presenter and model, married to German professional footballer Loris Karius Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta

Eve Jobs and Harry Charles' wedding preparations in full swing ahead of huge event

Team GB Olympic champ Harry Charles and American model Eve Jobs are set to swap vows in front of family, friends and even a failed American President candidate in one of the most lavish weddings of 2025 This weekend, the UK will play host to one of the most lavish weddings in the 2025 society calendar as Harry Charles and Eve Jobs become husband and wife. A List stars have already jetted to the Cotswolds where the lavish event is due to take place. ‌ With the groom reportedly worth as much as $2.5 million (£1.8 million) and the bride worth a reported $2 million (£1.5 million) the pair can afford to host a lavish party. However, the fact that Eve's mum is reportedly worth over $14 billion (£10.4 billion), it may be less of a surprise that the nuptials are set to cost several million. ‌ The couple have been an item for almost three years and have been engaged for less than a year. However, their romance has been clear for all to see as they have shared cute snaps of themselves on social media where they have openly declared their love - and they will become husband and wife on Saturday 26 July 2025. ‌ As the pair prepare to swap vows and begin their happy future together, photos have emerged of their wedding venue and church in the UK. Ariel shots of the St Michael & All Angels Church in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, show huge flower displays at the entrance of the almost 1,000 year old place of worship. The church was originally built in 1170 - and restored in 1827 by Thomas Rickman and stands proudly among the trees and green grass of the English countryside. Further snaps have shown huge tents and structures placed - with a red carpet stretching through the countryside. ‌ Eve is the youngest child of the late Apple business founder Steve Jobs and his businesswoman wife Laurene Powell. She has an older brother named Reed, 33, sister Erin, 29, and a 47-year-old half-sister named Lisa Brennan-Jobs. Eve's father died in October 2011 at the age of 56 after a battle against cancer. He had an estimated wealth of $7 billion (£5.2 billion) at the time of his death. Eve is a fashion model by profession and a keen equestrian. Her love for horses led to her meeting British Olympic show jumping competitor Harry Charles, 26 - who competed in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games where he won gold in team jumping. He achieved the impressive feat with his arm strapped up having broken it four weeks before the games. ‌ The pair reportedly began dating in September 2022 - and Harry popped the question soon after winning gold at the 2024 Olympics. The happy couple have reportedly spared no expense for the event - splashing a reported $6.7 million (£5 million) on their big day. The pair have reportedly taken over the charming town of Witney and will host their wedding at Estelle Manor. Pre wedding celebrations reportedly took place in the nearby Soho Famhouse - with VIPs among those attending the celebrations. ‌ Celebs and high powered politicians are among those said to be jetting to the British countryside to watch the model and show jumping hunk say "I do". Failed American Presidential candidate Kamala Harris and music legend Bruce Springsteen are just two of the big names tipped to attend the ceremony. Estelle Manor is described as "Oxfordshire's most exclusive hotel" - helping the couple build a luxurious feel to their celebrations. The hotel has impressive amenities including a 25m pool, two paddle courts, and over 60 acres of land. ‌ The Grade II listed building boasts 108 bedrooms, 4 restaurants, and a spa - and it's real name is Eynsham Hall. Built in 1908, the country home initially hosted hunting parties - but was used as a maternity hospital rest and relaxation centre during World War II before becoming a police training centre and then, ultimately, being converted into a hotel. Ahead of their wedding, Eve enjoyed a sun-soaked hen do - heading to a luxury hotel on a sun soaked beach with close family and friends. She shared highlights from her fun-feulled trip last month, showing her cavorting around in a little white dress with a wedding veil and splashing in the sea with a lilo with the word "Bride" written on it. ‌ While it is unclear if Eve's proud mum, Laurene, is footing the wedding bill, she has previously suggested her children won't inherit much of her $14 billion fortune. She previously told the New York Times: "I inherited my wealth from my husband, who didn't care about the accumulation of wealth. "I'm not interested in legacy wealth building, and my children know that... Steve wasn't interested in that. If I live long enough, it ends with me." Steve and Laurene were married in 1991 and stayed together until his death in 2011. He died following a long fight against pancreatic cancer - which resulted in respiratory arrest. Steve was previously in a relationship with American memoirist and painter Chrisann Brennan, 70, with whom the Apple founder shared his first daughter, Lisa.
