For the wildlife of Africa, the crocodile is an extremely formidable reptile, bringing
the breath of death straight from the surface of the water.
A dangerous monster, with a fearless character.
These animals are capable of sassing and fighting back hard, even against the king of the beasts.
After watching this video all the way to the end, you will see 12 epic moments of hunting
huge and ferocious crocodiles and learn what this toothy predator is capable of.
Number 1.
We start with a large herd of wildebeest that are gathered at a watering hole.
They see a bunch of crocodiles already waiting for them, but it seems their thirst has overcome
their fear and the antelope start to drink the water.
The crocodile didn't have to wait long.
It attacked its prey in cold blood.
In the end, the antelopes had to sacrifice a few of their own, but the rest of the herd
quenched their thirst and the crocodiles have a hearty lunch today.
Number 2.
This lioness wanted to swim across the river but didn't notice the crocodile who immediately
attacked her from behind.
The lioness was lucky to escape and hastily leaves the river.
These lions, on the other hand, were not so lucky.
The crocodile catches one of them, the other tries to help, but there is nothing to be
done.
He makes the right decision to run away before he himself falls prey to another hungry crocodile.
Number 3
A poor gnu antelope is caught in the jaws of a large crocodile.
He grabbed her by the leg and held her down, not allowing her to get out of the water.
Most likely it would have ended very sadly for the antelope had it not made a desperate
attempt to escape.
And the crocodile behaved very relaxed.
He just lay there and didn't let go of his victim's leg.
Moreover, making no attempt to drag her water away.
They spent an hour or two in this position and it seems the crocodile just got bored.
He let go of the leg, and the antelope was able to get out on dry land.
I think the antelope will be able to keep running.
Number 4
And here, visitors to a national park in Africa filmed a ferocious crocodile attacking the
largest land mammal in the world.
It clawed at the trunk of an elephant that had come who had come to the watering hole
and was the first to reach the water.
The elephant herd did not immediately rush to the rescue, but the largest elephant did
quickly chase the crocodile away.
Well, if the elephant had been smaller than that, the duel would probably have ended sadly.
There are many known cases of crocodile attacks on the trunk and it is very difficult to escape
from such jaws.
Number 5
And here a small herd of gazelles gathered for a watering hole.
The crocodile immediately swam to shore and lurched under the water.
And there it is, the moment of attack, in an incredible rush, the crocodile grabs the
gazelle by its hind leg and drags it under the water.
But that's not all, a second crocodile swam in to help.
She just doesn't stand a chance.
And here's a herd of buffalo.
All are quietly drinking water, unaware of the danger.
The crocodile attacks and hooks the big buffalo right on the head.
What follows is a long struggle in which the crocodile clearly does not get the upper hand.
But suddenly the predator releases the victim and it seems that the buffalo has a chance
to escape.
The marmoset goes to the shore, but the crocodile clings to its hind paw.
The video cuts off further, but I don't think the crocodile let go of such prey.
Number six.
And then while crossing the river, the wildebeest was carried away by the current.
It got caught on a big slippery rock and sat there not knowing what to do.
The crocodile didn't have to wait long.
He grabbed the antelope by the leg.
This toothy predator is so huge that it seems it could have swallowed her whole.
The second bite only caught the skin on its neck, as it was clearly impeded by the swift
current.
Suddenly the antelope miraculously manages to escape, its survival instinct makes it
run as hard as it can to the shore.
The crocodile nearly catches up with her in the last seconds, but she manages to escape
Number 7.
Next is an incident that happened at some quarry.
In the morning, the workers found the crocodile and decided to chase it away with an excavator.
But the fearless crocodile began to rush at the huge iron bucket.
I don't know if the workers managed to chase the predator away or not, but I'm sure they
did.
Number 8.
And here's the poor zebra who got caught in the crocodile's jaws.
It grabbed it by the leg and held it down to get it out of the water.
Most likely it would have ended very sadly for the zebra if the curious hippos hadn't
intervened in the fight.
They began stomping on the crocodile, who was lying on the bottom and forced the victim
to let go.
Only in this way the poor zebra was able to get out on dry land.
And then, the poor wildebeest got caught in the jaws of the big crocodile.
It grabbed it right on the head.
A second crocodile immediately joined the fight and grabbed the antelope by the hoof
and together they dragged it into the water.
Most likely for the antelope would have ended very sadly.
But there were many hippos in the water, which do not like strangers in their
territory.
The hippos managed to scare off the toothy predators, and the antelope was able to on
dry land.
Number 9.
And this is definitely Africa's most unlucky warthog.
Trying to escape a pack of wild dogs, he came close to a river with crocodiles.
The catfish didn't have to wait long to attack and quickly dragged the pig to the bottom.
The warthog simply had no way out.
Such are the harsh laws of wildlife .
Number 10.
And then there's a rather funny incident.
The leopard wanted to catch the crocodile and overestimated his chances.
The toothy one grabbed him by the tail and held him back, preventing him from getting
out of the water.
But luck was on the leopard's side, he managed to escape from those powerful jaws.
Number 11
Next is another incredible moment, which once again proves that the crocodile is a dangerous
opponent.
Here several large lions decide to try and take their prey from the crocodile.
However, in shallow water, the lizard simply merges with the water surface.
The lions lose sight of the predator every time.
Just imagine what it's like?
A nuisance with an enormous jaw and plenty of razor-sharp fangs disappear into the water,
then suddenly appear out of nowhere to launch a swift attack.
No wonder the big cats decide to run away.
Number 12
The following situation shows us how a predator can very quickly become a victim.
The crocodile was extremely cunning, dragging the poor cheetah straight to the bottom of
the lake.
Of course, the 50 kilogram victim had no chance to get out alive.
And in the next shots, Thompson's young gazelle decided to drink water.
One gets the impression that nothing could be dangerous in such a small puddle?
However, don't be so naïve.
After all, a hungry crocodile, which deftly grabs the gazelle with the very end of its
mouth, has been waiting there for a long time.
However, it was enough for the hunt to be successful.
And it does not matter exactly in what place the crocodile bites.
After all, it won't let go of its victim until its last breath.
Yes, indeed, crocodiles are very cunning and powerful competitors.
You never know where he can wait for his prey, because he is effective both in water and
on land.
I personally remember the situation when a crocodile defeated two lions.
