wrath elephant defeats crocodile in epic fight
the waters of the african wilderness are precious
they are the source of life for all living things there
one of the oldest surviving animals on the planet
crocodiles have evolved into one of the deadliest predators to inhabit lakes and rivers
their neat bodies have long wide tails razor sharp teeth
and incredible bite force make them an ideal ambush predator
drinking water to sustain life is also difficult for the wild creatures here
i elephants a large creature should be wary of crocodiles
the answer is yes
however the relationship between elephants and crocodiles is more than just prey and predator
this elephant bull got the surprise of his life when he nearly stepped on a sleeping crocodile
filmed at the kumana dam in kruger national park yes they are afraid of each other so
what makes elephants a giant of the grassland afraid of crocodiles animals that are a lot
smaller than them in fact the size of the prey is not really a concern for large giant crocodiles
for example hippo cows wildebeests young giraffes and even elephant calves
when crossing shallow streams and swamps can easily
fall prey to wild attacks from these vicious animals crocodiles
crocodiles rarely choose enormous sized prey
because it is difficult for them to control opponents in their usual way
but there are still exceptions
in chobe river in botswana this video captured three elephants leisurely resting on the riverbank
without any warning of the deadly danger lurking under the water these elephants
were just quenching their thirst when suddenly a crocodile poked it out of the surface and grasped
onto the trunk of an elephant though he had been successful in biting the elephant's trunk
the elephant immediately threw its trunk around in the air thrashing the crocodile causing it to
slip off the bite immediately after the blow the elephant plunged into the water to kill the enemy
attacking an adult elephant was a terrible idea
if the elephant goes on the rampage it can attack even putting the crocodile in danger
therefore the carbs are usually the targets
this impressive footage was recorded in luanda national park malawi africa when crocodiles and
a large herd of wild elephants fought fiercely the video opens with a herd of elephants walking
around and drinking recklessly the water in the riverbank the piece was seen quickly passed as the
elephant calf was grabbed by a giant crocodile and wouldn't let go even though he whipped his
trunk from side to side the elephant was still firmly grasped by the crocodile the elephants in
the back retreated into a mass using their trunks and tusks to defend themselves after seeing that
the enemy was just alone crocodile the elephants rushed to rescue the member of the herd a large
male elephant slammed into the crocodile with its trunk and forced it to let the elephant calf go
the elephants roared loudly went fighting with the crocodile the crocodile quickly realized
that it had made a mistake but that doesn't mean the elephant calves are completely safe
without the protection of adult elephants newborn calves can completely become crocodile dinner
fighting between elephants and crocodiles is common in the african wilderness
there are many clashes in the competition for water resources
the presence of a predator lurking in the water made the elephants feel dangerous
so the whole herd needed to drink the water some
elephants will have the task of chasing away the crocodile first
but crocodiles are not nice and docile they are normally just waiting for the right opportunity
these elephants need to cross the river to reach fresh land and more food in the herd
there are some newborn calves and this is the prey that the crocodiles want when in the water
crocodiles can exert their full strength while the elephant only becomes weaker one calf died
after the attack the crocodiles are just waiting for that so they quickly eat their prey
losing a newborn hurts the mother elephant deeply it takes time to get over this
i know a lot of people might think that the crocodiles are the bad guys in the animal world
but the truth is they are carnivores and the only way they can survive is by hunting
and these miserable predators can sometimes be bluffed by angry elephants
in the lower zambezi river in zambia a crocodile was finally attacked by an elephant for no reason
elephants are often considered calm creatures however male elephants during the must period
can become extremely females aggressive protecting their young can also be equally aggressive
crocodiles are opportunistic predators and sometimes attack elephant calves in the video
the lactating mother elephant seems very upset with the crocodile being near her baby
to protect its young it eliminates the danger thoroughly the mother elephant
approached the crocodile pushing the predator with her head and trunk
it becomes more aggressive and begins to step on the animal estimated to be eight to ten feet long
the mother elephant has no tusks so she has to use her mouth to attack
it even use its trunk to wrap around a crocodile's tail and then throw it continuously being trampled
on by a female elephant weighing 2.3 to 3.6 tons caused this crocodile to die
in the wilderness the fights will never end between elephants and crocodiles
