“Survival Against the Odds: The Zebra’s Incredible Escape from a Giant Crocodile Attack”

October 3, 2023 by admin

Male tourist named Robert Ndawuasa Sayialel, 39 years old, from Nairobi, Kenya (country in eastern Africa) accidentally captured impressive moments in the life-and-death battle between zebras and crocodiles in the river. Mara in Maasai Mara.

Mr. Robert said, while driving along the river, he spotted a herd of zebras gathering to prepare to cross the river. Below is a herd of ferocious Nile crocodiles waiting. The images were taken by him from a distance of only 18m.

It is known that hungry crocodiles, which are already lying in the river, waiting for the zebras to cross will seize the right opportunity to rush to defeat their prey.

In the herd, some of them made it to the river safely. But there are also unlucky members, becoming “delicious bait” of crocodiles. The image recorded by Mr. Robert shows a zebra falling into the range of the crocodile.

“But the animal did not give up. It tried to fight back in the moment of survival. The animal headbutted the opponent, then found the opportunity to bite the crocodile’s throat until the enemy had to retreat on its own. “, said Robert.

For this tourist, this is the incredible moment when the zebra suddenly “turns the tide” in an unequal battle with the crocodile. Zebras are famous for their back kicks and powerful bites. Due to the sudden bite, the crocodile showed pain, creating an opportunity for the prey to flee to safety.

“This is probably one of the best wildlife photos I’ve ever taken. I feel honored to have captured this moment,” Robert said.

Nile crocodiles can reach a length of 5.5m, weigh 700kg and live to be a hundred years old. In addition to their huge size, they are considered as freshwater predators that cause “horror” because of their sharp teeth and very strong bite force. Any prey that appears in their sights is almost inevitable death, even humans are no exception.

The main food of this species is fish, but they still eat vertebrates that go down to the river to drink water, except for elephants and adult hippos. Zebras, young hippos, antelope or buffalo all fall prey to them.
