Crocodiles are feared as the most formidable “killing machines” in the natural world, particularly by animals residing in water and along shorelines.
With their unparalleled bite force, crocodiles prey on a variety of animals including antelope, buffalo, zebra, and numerous others inhabiting the banks of rivers and swamps.
Crocodiles are infamous for their cold-blooded cannibalism, yet it’s exceedingly rare for them to attack and consume elephants and hippos.
In the rare instances when crocodiles target elephants, it typically occurs when they are in a herd. Due to their immense size, which can reach several tons, crocodiles find it challenging to subdue such large prey through conventional means.
The video captured a crocodile lurking in the water, clamping onto the elephant’s tail. Sensing the danger, the elephant reacted with cries of pain, swiftly turning around and trampling on the crocodile in a frantic attempt to defend itself.
Facing the immense force of the enraged elephant, the crocodile endured excruciating agony and quickly fled, too terrified to look back. It narrowly avoided certain death in the encounter.
The video elicited a mix of astonishment and excitement from viewers as they witnessed the intense battle between two formidable creatures.
