Cannibal Crocodile eats smaller crocodile in the Kruger National Park

- While on a safari in the Kruger National Park and taking a mid morning game drive, we decided to head to the very well known Sunset Dam. On arrival at Sunset Dam we saw a massive crocodile with another smaller crocodile in its mouth, initially we had thought that they were just fighting and a small fight would ensue and that would be the end of it. The croc was initially caught by it's tale and had almost gotten away when the larger cannibal crocodile went in for another grab and sadly grabbed it in just the correct place that escape was impossible.
The entire sighting was an extremely long one and took place over about and hour, we returned to sunset dam late that afternoon to find the larger crocodile almost parading his kill around the dam, the smaller now very very dead crocodile was belly up being relocated, presumably to a more suitable place to be eaten, a little bit of a feeding frenzy followed basically pulling the smaller crocodile bit from bit.
While not uncommon for crocodiles of this size to eat other crocs that are smaller than themselves, it's not often that you actually get to see it happen, we were lucky to have such a sighting in the park and it is definitely one we will remember forever.
That river is the definition of chaos. There’s Nile Crocodiles eating another while there’s hippos fighting in the background!
These crocodiles are literally the modern day dinosaurs. From the looks and to the strength.
Well crocs existed in the ages of the dinosaurs. Purussaurus deinosuchus kaprosuchus and a lot more.
@@fliesdontexist yes, they are the dinosaurs who survived til modern day
@@SomebodySomeone-xh9kv No, deinosuchus Purussaurus and kaprosuchus are reptiles who lived in the
age of the dinosaurs.
No, that’s considered foreplay here in Australia 🇦🇺
I recently subscribed to your channel..good stuff. I enjoyed your series with the three amigos (Ryan, Ed, and Christof) as I was already following them. I’m here in the states and I get inspiration from these overlanding videos in Africa. Keep up the good work!
Hey Robert, thanks very much for your kind words, really appreciate it and I'll definitely try keep it up, glad you're enjoying the videos 😎
Dude!! What an incredible sighting!! Damn!!
Thanks man, it was epic for sure!!! 😎
Awesome Crocodilian Footage...!! 🐊👍
Gatorpool fan 🥰
so why do they lay eggs?
Wow! Didn’t know they are cannibals! Insane cool capture!
Not necessity cannibals, but the most danger going crocs face is from other crocs, they will pretty much eat what they can catch. Although it's possible this may have been a territorial fight as well, just ended badly for the smaller one...
@@MyLifeinAfrica that croc looks way to young to try and challenge for any territory and the definition of cannibalism is eating your own kind lol.
The definition of a cannibal is an animal that eats the flesh of other animals in the same species. A person who eats the flesh of another person is an example of a cannibal. noun.
unless we are missing some important parts of the video.
WHY SAY THAT CROCODILES ARE CANNIBALS IF ALL OF THEM ARE? HAHAHAHAHA
It is a shame on this big crocodile 🐊 to eat a small one .
It is common for crocs...But crocodile mothers, occasionally father and mother, are not cannibalistic towards their hatchlings in general situation (e.g. Guzmán 1996)...But when the hatchlings become yearlings and juveniles, the parents might not tolerate them especially when the parents get newborns (hatchlings). Because the juveniles and yearlings are potentially dangerous to newborns or hatchlings (e.g. Hunt, R.H. 1977).
Crocodiles are generally protective mother, occasionally father and mother, for newborns and hatchlings. But couldn't deny they're cannibalistic, although it varies on individuals.

Inspite of my poor command of the English language, hope you would enjoy this.
But if you feel bad due to my comment, I would apologize😅
Sometimes you just got to eat whatever fits in your mouth 🤷
That shit is funny asf lol
Are these the same species? With the size difference I'm not sure if the morphological differences are due to that or species distinction
yup same species, size difference is based on age...
your lying he escaped at the end
not at all...
Why haven't you been doing any new videos??
Took a bit of a break but, currently editing 2 new ones that will come out soon, also have some others planned in the near future 😎👌🏻
@@MyLifeinAfrica good news I love watching your videos think I seen them all. Keep up the good work and be safe out there.
Thanks so much Alvah, really appreciate the kind words 😎
My fiancé..who’s from Zimbabwe..wonders if you are from Zim as well?
hehehehe I'm not hey, South African for sure...
How was the aftermath, did he escape or
Sadly the smaller croc became a meal and didn't make it...
Damn, it's a beat of disappointment that we don't actually get to see the big one eating the smaller crock!
I'm not sure, seeing something lose it's life is the natural way of life, but for entertainment value it's definitely not a disappointment...
Wow, amazing sighting.
Dark side of crocodile be like. They're cannibal. I thought they would associate each other and could work as a group like dolphin or lion but this proves me wrong that they prefer to acted individually and selfish
Nice bro! Love ur work
Thank you so much 😀
I didn’t know that!! Crazy!
quite common really, just not really often seen by us...
It’s probably hard to drown another croc. They can hold their breathe for a very long time. Not as easy as attacking a land animal.
Hmm, gruesome end of Gena the Croc
Jurassic park 3 spino vs t rex
Nature is so beautiful
Great sighting👌
What species of croc?
Nile Crocodile
Een eet die ander een nooit gedink so iets sal gebeur Roland dankie vir deel
So the question remains, did it taste like fish?🤔
I reckon it tastes like crocodile hahahaha
@@Kwatshivo 😂🤣
Crocodiles taste like fish flavored chicken. They’re fatty with a fish aftertaste.
Yeah, let them eat each other more.
Poor guy was only a baby
7mm with a scope
would probably just piss it off...
Brain shot
Wtf 🚬🗿

Horrible creatures
nothing at all makes them horrible...
@@MyLifeinAfrica To each their own hey? You may think that, but my experience of crocs in Aus is that they are killing machines. Literally ambush anything with a heartbeat, and then kill it in the most frightening and horrible way. Many pets and children have been taken by them. Freshwater crocs? Different ball game. They don't hurt you unless you ask for it. So they have my respect.
We
The smaller croc should've made a deathroll and ditched the tail
it wouldn't survive without a tail...
@@MyLifeinAfrica we would both be non challenged by the severity of injuries these animals could survive. An excellent example is knobby the croc discovered by Steve Irwin. It survived while missing most of its lower jaw
Horrible way to die by your own kind
