Holston posted footage on Instagram of himself catching a small saltwater crocodile in a swamp and holding a juvenile saltwater crocodile by the neck. He emphasized that he later released the animals back into the wild.
Subsequently, the Queensland Department of Environment launched an investigation into the incident.
According to Australian law, those who illegally interfere with crocodiles can be fined more than $8,000. Experts have assessed the blogger's actions as dangerous.
While Holston attempted to defend himself, his videos sparked major debates on social media.
