Elephant spotted thrashing crocodile in Zambezi River

Posted on 4 August 2021 By Anita Froneman

A safari-goer recently spotted an elephant killing a crocodile in the Zambezi River in a reserve in Zambia.

‘Guests witnessed this dramatic sighting unfold between two of Africa’s most feared mega-fauna,’ posted Baines River Camp on Facebook. ‘Perhaps this was a revenge attack fueled by previous ambush attempts by many a crocodile on her young or the greater herd. Whatever it was, this cow was here with one intention only.’

The cow can be seen stomping the crocodile in the water and then trying to rip it apart. ‘While this footage might be difficult to watch, it demonstrates just how raw and tough life is in the bush,’ Baines River Camp added.

Hans Henrik Haahr captured the footage. Watch:
