Crocodile hunts Impala 3rd time Lucky! Not easy to see these reptiles catch a meal but we did!!
Crocodile hunts Impala 3rd time Lucky! Not easy to see these reptiles catch a meal but we did!!
While doing a 3-day Private Wildlife Photographic Safari exiting daily from Skukuza camp for B1 Photo Safaris the guide Hennie Bekker came across the scene of a huge crocodile trying to catch an impala antelope in the Sabie River.
He tried twice and the third time he was successful. Truly an unbelievable experience for the photography guest onboard and for the guide itself as this is something that most visitors to the Kruger Park don't really get to see, ever.
Once the crocodile got hold of the impala it was all over the poor eve did not stand a chance to get out of the grip around her leg.

Would love to see more of kills like these, with a focus on the killing process please
I laughed when the hippos pulled up like "ight tf goin on here" lmao 😂
Fr like just another day in the hood
😂😂
Salute to those who feel bad but didn't complain like 9 year olds because they understand the circle of life
and yet you're still out here policing them...lol!
Ok Boomer!
Cruel circle of life. That's why it's tough to believe if God really exist...
@@storiesshubham4145 i wouldn’t exactly call animals eating “cruel” but ok
Yes in the circle of life u also can be killed
You gotta admit, that was a GREAT catch by the crocodile. Caught it by the back leg, a half a second later and it would have missed it
You got that right!
Fallen into a deep hole of watching crocs and alligators eating animals😂🤦🏽♂️
I can relate
As can I
Happens to the best of us
@@jordanwilkenson3284 illjtu. Iiio
They’ve been my favorite animal as long as I can remember
Imagine having to deal with this every time you want a drink
That’s why you should be grateful to be a human being. Weather you believe in a higher power or not we are very lucky.
@@alanlappin6674 some smart apes figured out long straws called pipes
@Daniel Hall eh?
I feel like the impala every night at 3am sneaking downstairs to get a glass of water if my parents hear me it’s game over and I get yelled at
Even worse when you have to deal with other predators on land whilst doing nothing.
hippos are like that old neighbor "who makin all that damn noise?!?"
@ knives Chau, how about M Taylor?
Being an impala in Africa is basically like playing on hard mode.
Impalas are the storm troopers of the African savanna! Poor guys are chewed up by everything!
John Mullen this is what happens when Impalas work for the Sith
They're lucky if they get attacked by a lion or croc. Everything else will eat them while they're still alive.
J WALKER They’re even luckier if they live and avoid getting eaten at all.
I'd actually call Wildebeests the Stormtroopers of Africa. Considering how many of them die by their own stupidity during their great migration. Crocodiles don't even need to hunt in that river. Thousands die from that alone and fill the river by them trampling over each other.
@@Jocelyn_Jade They're even luckier if they get shot by humans and turned in carpets or a handbag.
My man crocs never give up, that's the spirit!
When you hungry you never give up
@@tikrinelojaLl
They give up but then they give up on giving up.
Imagine living a life where you risk getting your entire self ripped apart every time you need to get a sip of water.
Shows the value of water. Even humans are prepared to walk for miles for water. We cannot live without it. So imagine as an animal, the weather is hot and you've been walking for miles, perhaps you have gone without water for a whole day, possibly more. When thirst hits, you take the risk.
Now we worry if we use the right pronouns. 😔🥴
Nature is cruel. It enjoys this kind of brutality.
Fooolish thinking
Nature is sooo unfair, I don’t understand why
“Hippo not very happy with the disturbance”Lol
Those hippos were like "ROIGHT WOTS ALL THIS THEN"
I'm hearing it in my mind's eye as Moss in IT Crowd when he is running the D&D game. "Well well well.... Who's causing me aww dis bover?
Thank you for the laugh 🤣
Lions are the king of the sa... Crocodiles are the king of.... Wait..ok i think it is pretty clear that the Hippopotamus is the king of the jungle
LMAO 🤣😆 why the hippos sound like British police?🤣
Yea I laughed when they pulled up lmao 😂
It amazes me how effortlessly strong crocs are... animals giving all they got to try & break free... croc just sitting there, animal in its jaws, just as carefree as can be.
@ 3:37 Hippo : I told ya dam crox to keep it down over there !!!!! Crocs : my bad fam we just trynna eat this deer right quick , ayye y'all want a plate ?? Just send over the little hippo over to pick it up ..
The way he snatched him up is like he was saying "yall gonna respect my presence "
The wind in my earphones make me feel like I am there, too. Breathtaking audio
Vanessa ButtuhFly right
This dude is tripping
Gay
That Impala had a look on its face like......."dammit I knew that was gonna be an expensive drink"
The way it keeps its snout out of the water for as long as possible was sad.
Was that so funny?
and there goes the hippos again. i've been binge watching crocs catching impalas and hippos always shows up to spice up the party....
My God, those things are MASSIVE!!! I'm surprised it didn't snap that animal's leg completely off and it would've drawn back a bloody stump. Very exciting to see...I have no idea how you're able to spot the crocs! Well done!
It easily could have but instinct has instructed it not to bec a leg bone ain't gonna cut it.
I think the impala's reflex is what killed that poor thing. It was still safe when it jumped but that quick and croc bite timing was deadly accurate.
Them hippos are like the old folks that live the longest in the residential house, if someone's just a little too loud, they get mad and start attacking you.
Lucky for these crocs, it seems like these old folks just asked the two to take their meal elsewhere.
This is so fascinating to watch.
crocodile was like you’re coming with me boy
*The crocodile's stealth and power make it a top contender in animal fights*
All their problems would be solved if they could make a long enough straw.

Yes, you're goon
Imagine every time you went to get a drink, it turned into a game of chicken with the refrigerator, and if you lose, it eats you...
It is what it is.. crocodiles need to eat too
Imagine making up nonsensical analogies.
@@Trainwheel_Time 🤣🤣🤣
That Impala didn't stand a chance of escape, that croc was huge.
Yes no chance of survival. That's the difference between an great white and an freaken crocodile.
Unfortunate escape of the Impala whose leg fell directly into the jaws of the croc. Cool video!
Sorry...*attempt
Crocs do the job, Hippos comes for the feast. No one will argue out there😂
1:04 "Drink next to my buddies or in front of the croc?...Decisions..."
Lmaoooo😂😂😂 I see he took the more daring decision
That actually smarter strategy because that way the deer can keep track of croc. Better keep your enemies on eye side than lose it track and get surprise jump
Beautiful footage my friend.i like it.thanks for sharing this
Great video! I think I may have shot the same scene, solo, in the vehicle next to your guides 3 years ago! One of the guides exclaimed in my video exclaimed that in 15 years of guiding he hadn't witnessed a scene like that. It was an incredible moment to see the two crocodiles work together. I stayed around until the crocs surfaced a few minutes later with the impala. The following moments are incredible as well. The hippos ushered the crocs out further downstream with the remaining carcass 10-15 minutes later. The hippo licked the blood stained sand where the crocs did much of their work. It didn't seem to be the stomach contents (i.e. grass). That was an interesting behavior that I didn't expect from the hippos. I just published my first 2 minute clip of this scene. 3 years after this moment in Kruger, it's still exciting to go through the footage. I spent 39 incredible days in Kruger! Take care! Jason
Wow say hi next time please post link to your footage will really like to see it!
@@PKSafaris I'm still putting together a video of the full scene. I'd love to share it when it's done! Jason
@@PKSafaris Hello again! Here's the link to the footage of the first part of the scene kzhead.info/sun/nKWyZMl7kZOBlI0/bejne.html I went back and listened to your footage as well. It is definitely the same scene! It's still a little spooky that your video was recommended by the KZhead engine and this connects us to the same moment 3 years ago. There were only a few vehicles there that morning. Really cool to cross paths this way. I sat on the footage for 3 years. I got in a bit of a funk working in healthcare through the pandemic while my travel/wildlife photography plans got put on hold. I recently finished a couple of Boyd Varty's books. There's a line from the book, "When you lose your track, go back to where it was the freshest. Then find your next first track." The age old wisdom resonated with me and pulled me enough outta the funk to watch the footage from my experience in Kruger. It reminded me that eyes on wildlife is a great way to help protect them.
@@PKSafaris Here's the link to the full scene! kzhead.info/sun/p96fcbJwhmaYqqs/bejne.html
I know it's nature and the crocs have to feed, but can't help feel sorry for the impala. Imagining the fear, panic and confusion running through its mind as it's being dragged out into the water. Rip.
Nicko Vdub me too :c
Lol xD why don’t u stop eating chicken?!!
@@Tan99bani who says that I do? 🤔🙄
@SuperYT4Ever when last I checked it would seem so
Rip impala
Those impala got too comfortable. Don't chill all day by the lake when you know there's crocodiles right there! Just take a few quick sips and then get the hell out of there!
Well there antelopes and they dehydrate pretty quickly so they live near bodies of water
Random Girl I know right. I told them this like 1000 times. They never listen
Forget quick sips, they need to come up with making long straws😂
@@chickennoodlesoup9303 they future impalas due to natural selection could have something like that
@@randomgirl3396 Sounds like a dilemma
Impalas always seem so scared of everything, but they`re actually hardcore. Seeing 2 4m crocs right infront of you and the Imapala goes" Hey Ladys, might i buy you a drink? Let`s get shhots together!"
No they are just dumb.
@@t19563 🤣🤣🤣
Hippos are so cool to me always keeping everybody in check
Oh yeah. A hippo can bite a croc in half.
Hippo straight wandered over like “quit screwin around you screw around too much!”
Poor impala there so beautiful.
2:38 Yes! He got her, he got her Lol I guess we know who's he rooting for lol 😂
Nile crocodiles have the strongest bite force in the world. That shit gotta hurt
Very nice 👍
4:00 " when someone steps on you carpet with their shoes on"
Good one
@@tbxl8204 thx
Oh shit didn't expect the hippos to show up! Those crocs better clear out!
Impalas : Yea Jerry we love ya buddy *Jerry gets attacked* Impalas : bye Jerry!
That is an enormous croc!
Impala * sees croc * Also impala * let me stick my face by it and get a drink real quick *
Whenever hippos vocalize it sounds like they used to be intelligent, noble creatures but now they've been reduced to a dark twisted being and they now laugh because they aren't anything anymore so laughing is just something to do, but part of them doesn't want to laugh at the same time
Think about this: Impala's can escape lions and hyenas....just imagine how quick the crocodile has to be to catch the impala.
There is a video of a croc catching a cheetah. Cheetah picked horrible place to drink. Anyway, if you slow the speed down to .25 within 1 sec the croc comes out of the water about 3 feet. It is unbelievable.
The difference is that impalas can see the lions and hyenas from a safe distance. Crocs have an unfair advantage. The way they are designed, its ability to lurk under the water and camouflaged with the color of it. This enable Crocs to get within 5 feet of snatching anything. It's a very unfair advantage, even stupid humans get victimized by it. I won't because I dress up like a knight, have an Uzi in each hand, and a fanny pack filled with grenades.
I love hippos. They always save lives
Except for the hundreds of people and non-hippo animals (i.e. anything that gets in their space) they kill annually.
@MegaJf16 I believe that honor lies firmly with the abomination of disease-spreading mosquitoes... but I understand your point, in terms of direct threat (and of large, conspicuous animals)
I love how the hippos go towards the disturbance lol like they really out here just looking for problems
Why the Hippos pull up to the scene like that💀💀
AND DIDN'T DO SHIT
You know what they say, "Three's a charm!"
Third times a charm
Saludos desde Guerrero Bonito video Animo
Beautiful view , amazing video thanks
Nature is reality
The wind make the back of the crocodile difficult to spot.. Good camouflage
🤦♂️😭
that croc is huge!!!
Excellent!
Nature is very savage. Unfortunately that's the way it goes. Circle of life. Sadness occurs daily as life is being born and snatched directly from the moms womb. As she delivers predators are waiting. Hard to swallow. Thank's for sharing footage.
I will never ever complain about going back to the fridge because I forgot something...
1:02 - just before the first attempt some birds chirp to thier best to give impalas a warning!!! 💥💥💥
Nice move Croc 🐊
Big 👍 Super footage. Some great close-ups. An enjoyable watch - Nature and the Wildlife & Birds within are the Greatest Free Show on Earth - if you have a little patience and 'see' what is around you ◕‿◕
2:49 Second croc sees his friend has caught something and comes over to help finish it off. Once that second croc got onto the Impala's neck, it was all over. They dragged it down to drown underwater.
Amazing trick to catch the pray
Excellent Video!!!!!
Thank you very much!
It's unbelievably fast for such a large animal
The croc is like a submarine. The impalas are too thirsty to avoid the danger.
All I could think was... “Get Over Here” In the Scorpion voice
😂
Lol
Hahaha!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
Excellent !!
Damn how unlucky was that impala to get caught by the Leg like that , he was just a step to slow
1:13 “that looks sus”
Overwhelmed by thirst was their death sentence.
Very interesting captures.Thanks.Have a nice day.
Imagine getting warning signs handful of times and not paying attention.
When im thirsty i go to the faucet and drink. When the impala is thirsty, they check for crocs, take a few sips, dodge croc attack, take sip again.
U drink from a faucet lol
great video.. good job
Beautiful Wild Animal 😊😊😊🇮🇳😊😊😊
Hippos are like the bouncers in the club
Esses vídeos de vida selvagem são bem melhores que ficar ouvindo e falando de políticas.
excellent job, crocs
Well that's Lunch sorted all good
Still boggles my mind how something that big camouflages itself with water, it becomes water.
It’s a golden coral buffet over there!
Lol!
In the water... No can hear you scream 😱 Hippo: Ey keep it down!!!
Wow amazing
Thanks a lot 😊

@@mortzon5681 more like 500million years
@@jrsmith1998 500 million years seems more accurate indeed as amphibians and mammals have an earliest common ancestor of about 400 million years, and many amphibians can regrow limbs.
What a lovely meal
everyone gangsta till the crocodile does the Death roll
Deer:- ''that’s it, from now on it’s bottled water!''
3:57 the other impala blocked its way and it was responsible.
Good love n like PKSshafari❤❤❤❤👍👍👍
Hippos are those landlords who always have problem with tenants noise...😂
How much does it cost for a safari trip? I would love to go--always keen and interested in wildlife. We are so isolated from the nature; locked in our own four-walls(cage) in urban areas. 🙄😥
Hi Kitty S we tailor made Safaris in the Kruger National Park both day drives from Hazyview area up to 10 days staying inside the park. You're welcome to visit our website and contact us to plan your Safari. www.privatekrugersafaris.co.za
