15 Scary Moments Of Crocodile Vs Land Animals!!

Crocodiles are constantly looking for interesting prey lurking in their vicinity. Whether it’s a zebra or a lion, you can bet your bottom dollar that the crocodile will be there, somewhere. So, what happens when a crocodile ambushes the fastest animal on land, the cheetah? What about when it’s the largest one, the elephant? If you want to see crocodiles throw surprise parties for their prey, keep watching as we count down 15 scary moments when crocodiles and alligators ambushed land animals.

Crocodile Vs Bat

I have seen crocodiles ambush all sorts of animals from impalas to lions, but I have never seen a crocodile ambush a bat. Approximately 300,000 red flying foxes congregate to drink during monsoon season. They skim the river, gathering water on their bodies, but they must avoid the freshwater crocodiles of Australia. Crocodiles are apex predators both on land and in the water. The red flying fox bats are putting their lives in danger every time they drink in Australia's crocodile-infested waters. You can see the bats fly right over the water, just skimming it to get a quick drink of water.

It’s as if they know there is danger lurking, but they have no choice, and then suddenly boom! A crocodile pops out of the water, but lucky enough for this bat, it was able to avoid the worst. The crocodile sticks its eyes out of the water to see what’s going on and occasionally the crocodile strikes its prey. There are so many bats, the reptiles have a bundle of opportunities. The survivors will brave the river every day until the monsoon rains break. Watch this crocodile literally fly out of the water so it can snatch this bat from up in a tree branch. That’s quite exceptional. Never thought crocodiles were high jumpers!

Crocodile Vs Impala

Impalas need to drink from time to time, and they are vulnerable to the same predators as all the other herbivores. Because they are smaller and weaker than most, they must be extremely cautious. They do, however, have one advantage over most animals: speed and agility. In the first video, a crocodile emerges from the water and snatches the impala's tail just before dragging it into the river. The impala might have survived if the crocodile had missed by a few inches. When the target is an impala, near calls are often due to their incredible speed. Crocodiles must be highly stealthy and attack with surgical precision if they want to be successful.

This cautious antelope enters a seemingly peaceful pond to drink, only to be shocked by a hungry crocodile. At one point, it appears the impala is about to flee, but when one of its legs dislocates, the siren goes and it’s the end of the match. The crocodile fires out of the water swiftly in this video, but the impala manages to break free without being touched. The crocodile is fast, but the impala is even faster, and these creatures must be fast all the time if they are to survive. Finally, when this crocodile misses the target, it decides to walk towards the elephant, but the elephant moves away slightly, leaving the crocodile with nothing else to do but retreat. If the crocodile had any intentions of pursuing the elephant on land, the elephant could easily step on it, permanently injuring it.
