Given their sheer size and strength, elephants typically strike fear into the hearts of most other animals. But sometimes even they have to be cautious — as trouble can come from the most unexpected places.
This video captures two separate, but rare encounters when a family of elephants is attacked by a massive lurking crocodile while taking a drink at a watering hole.
In the first, the herd can be heard bellowing loudly as the juvenile attempts to shake itself loose from the colossal crocodile’s grip. An older individual — perhaps the matriarch — eventually steps forward to scare off the reptile and the juvenile manages to escape relatively unharmed.
The other encounter is over just as quickly with the massive elephant managing to fend of the croc and escape.
