A huge crocodile caught and started attacking a smaller croc that was in its way. The smaller crocodile fought back, thrashing around in an attempt to break free, but it was over.
Marce Jacobs and Stephen Kangisser had front-row seats to the action and shared it all with LatestSightings.com.
Nile crocodiles are one of the largest crocodile species in the world, with males reaching up to 20 feet in length and weighing up to 1,650 pounds. They are apex predators and will eat just about anything they can catch, including fish, birds, mammals, and even other crocodiles.
“We were parked in the open area overlooking Sunset Dam. Impalas drank on the far end, and herons flew through the air. The chorus of social weavers supplied a tranquil setting. Little did we know we were in for a treat.”
A large crocodile caught our attention, making its way towards the bank closest to us and slowly approaching a smaller crocodile. The smaller crocodile tried to react, but it was too little, too late. The larger crocodile lunged at the smaller one, clamping its powerful jaws around its head.”
“The smaller crocodile fought back, thrashing around in a desperate attempt to break free, but it was over. The larger crocodile carried it in its jaws and began the process of eating it, tearing chunks of flesh from its body.”
“We watched in awe as the large crocodile continued to eat, eventually devouring the smaller crocodile entirely. It was both terrifying and amazing to watch. I’ve never seen anything like it before, and I don’t think I ever will again. Nature can be cruel, but it’s also beautiful in its own way.”
“We’ve been coming to Kruger National Park for years, and this was definitely one of the most memorable sightings we’ve ever had. It just goes to show that you never know what you’re going to see out here.”
