An angry crocodile twice lunged at elephants while they were drinking from a waterhole.
Guests at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, Zimbabwe, were treated to the epic sight as a herd of elephants enjoyed a drink just 50metres from the viewing deck.
Amazing footage – which has been viewed more than 273,000 times online – shows a huge reptile suddenly lunge from the water and bite at one of the massive animal’s legs.
Just a few moments later the same crocodile lunged at another elephant, this time sending four of the animals scurrying for safety.
A spokesperson for the lodge said: “Most who saw it happen were astonished, while others understood that the crocodile was behaving in a territorial manner and protecting his space.
