Crocodiles Bite The Face Off Zebra While Crossing Mara River on a Safari in Kenya
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2021
- Recently, I was on a Safari at Masai Mara National Park in Kenya this year for the “Great Wildebeest Migration”. Every year during the season of the Great Migration the zebras must take the risk of crossing many rivers in order to get to the grass that they badly need in order to survive. If the zebras do not get to their source of food they may perish. Sometimes, after crossing a river full of hungry crocodiles, the zebras do not find good grass on the other side. Then they will turn around and go back through the same river to face the vicious crocodiles all over again. My Safari guide was a local I met named Jonathan Lenjir. Jonathan was such an amazing guide. He is a Masai Warrior from the Masai tribe in Kenya.
My great joy in life is travel and sharing my travel experiences with others - the good and the bad. If you look at my videos you can see that I try to show extraordinary and beautiful things, even in harsh conditions. I originally posted this video, in particular, because it shows the amazing and strong will of the animals of Masai Mara National Reserve to live, something many of the viewers picked up on.
I did feel very bad for the suffering that the zebra went through. It was very difficult to watch and witness in person. In no way do I wish to disrespect this zebra by showing the fight. She was so very strong, she fought against 4 crocodiles and was still standing. I will never forget how hard this zebra fought for her life and did not give up easily. It makes me feel an even greater respect for life and all living things. Life is so fragile and precious. This happens every day in the wild where no one can see the intense struggle to live that goes on.
One viewer called the zebra in this video "Zebra-heart," like Brave-heart. That's exactly what I was trying to show! Masai Mara National Reserve, like many of the wild places left in this world, is beautiful and harsh - just like life.
It was hard to watch the zebra fight and do nothing. However there was no way I could have tried to save the Zebra from her death. The Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya does not permit interference and no guns are permitted into the park.

They hold they're pretty under to drown them that role they do is to tear pieces off of the body small enough they can swallow just so you know
@@themostbeautifulwomaninthe9160 Evil? The fact that the crocodiles were having dinner doesn't make them anymore evil than us buying a 2-piece order of (killed) chicken at KFC. The God you are talking about, made this happen.

Please leave a pinned comment that ,' There's nothing wrong if crocs eat the zebra that way , that's how nature works , there's nothing right or wrong in nature , if they don't eat it , they are gonna die of hunger.
Wtf is wrong with you? you should censored this shit
That zebra was a legend it took 5 of them to take it down what a beast died fighting till the end rip
What zorro in te click video?
Did he died fighting or die fighting to get a way??? 😂

The last zebra deseved huge respect... RIP dude you died a warrior. Fought till the last breath. I aspire to be like you.
You want to die without a face as well?
i agree. but bro aspires to be like a zebra that got half of its face ripped off by a croc? nah bruh.
hey!
@@HJS_Kickz yes
idk about you but one my face was beginning to get literally ripped off my skull i would've just said "yup nope im done." and voluntarily drowned for them. would've died of infection if not blood loss if the zebra got away anyway.
Vegans: I don't eat meet because i respect nature!
The nature:
Listen to me you bastard , they don’t have chance like us humans , we can eat vegetables
10/10 not some click bait shit. You actually get to see the face get ripped off
Thank you
I know it’s part of life and the crocs have to survive but damn that last part was tough to watch. That zebra was missing most of its face!
Yes, it is hard to watch. It suffered far too long.
Damn Nature You Scary!!
@@Dr_Adam it was very hard to watch, i tried not to click on this, but morbid curiosity got the better of me! R,I,P Zebra
@@Dr_Adam you enjoyed it you silly bastard
نعم كسر فكه لقد تعذب الحمار قبل ان يموت
The fact that our ancestors not only survived but thrived in the most dangerous continent is incredible. I mean there's bigger, faster and stronger predators literally everywhere.
That's how we managed to drive much of the megafauna outside of Africa to extinction. We are the product of Africa, and therefore it has made us into this very lethal, extremely intelligent super predator.
None of that can match our intelligence. Humans today arent even a shadow of what they used to be. People used to share territory with Cave bears which were up to 12-13 feet tall when standing on 2 legs. They were 2 or 3 times bigger than grizzly bears. Past humans had common meetings with them because both lived in caves.
The key was our intelligence and our social ability. Men have constantly proven to be able to outsmart their prey and show good teamwork, better than what animals would ever show. A sharp mind can beat a sharp sword.
@@NamelessKnightt absolutely…. Developed brains is what moved humans ahead of the rest of the pack
@@wrenchhead6840 it seems that once humans began to cook their food it really altered the human brain in such a way that allowed for large civilizations to develop. New brain power led to shedding the hunter/gatherer lifestyle as the only option, which led to farming, and farming led to a group of humans settling down in one spot and building a community. Learning, creating technology, hospitals, schools, jobs.
There have been many comments suggesting a bridge be built for the zebras to cross the river I understand your sympathy for the zebra. However, the other side of the river is the country of Tanzania. So, it would have to be an international bridge. Also, the Masai Mara wildlife park is trying to stay as natural as possible without creating man-made structures such as bridges. In addition, there are many other rivers the zebras must cross to get to their food source. Should there be bridges built everywhere for the zebras to use? Kenya is a 3rd world county with many other issues that should take priority over building bridges for zebras. Crocodiles can lay and wait on bridges too.
Also, if the crocodiles all starve and die it will throw off the balance of nature.
I know people believe zebras are cute and most people don't find crocodiles to be beautiful. That doesn't mean that crocodiles are evil and zebras are good. Thank you for watching
I've had to point out that zebras are also not so sweet animals that will kick and bite. Everything you said was right on and thanks for sharing the video on the reality of life. Pet owners need to look at their own animals on how "savage" their precious animals can be to other animals that can fall prey to them. I find crocodiles and alligators fascinating and they are definitely an animal you want to respect on keep your distance.
Aw, I like that you pointed out that crocodiles aren't evil and zebras aren't good by default. They're really just doing what they can to survive. I'm sure if they understood a bit more, were able to feel empathy for their prey, they would try to kill them quicker to minimise suffering like we do. But they aren't us.
Well said. It’s aggravating when people try to apply human ethics and morals to animal behavior and zoology. Nature and its Darwinian system existed long before ethics and morals. Nature is *amoral*, not immoral.
"Natures so beautiful!"
Nature 90% of the time.
Nature is Beautiful.
Nobody said Nature was peaceful.
Better than the current human atrocities
The fact half the face was ripped off that Zebra and it was still gathering all it's strength to try and make it out. Fucking crazy shit. Animals are crazy when stuff like this happens their brain doesn't say anything but "survive" even if it means going through the most brutal torture ever.
I got emotional on that part where that Zebra could no longer fight and it just stood there with half its face missing...and at its final moments it accepted its fate and disappered into the waters...what a painful moment.
It was very emotional
😭😭😭
I felt the same too!
Same too🤧
It's a part of wildlife folks...
All the hate comments are dumb. This is raw unfiltered nature. Reality. Thank you cameraman for filming this and not intervening. Crocodiles have just as much claim to this land (and arguably more) than we do. We are not God. We have no right to interfere.
Как они могут на слабых нападать толпой, так же и человек полное право имеет противостоять и помочь зебре!

Even if he managed to escape he’d still would’ve died from a fatal injury like that. He’d either die of blood loss, starvation, dehydration or lack of fresh oxygen.
Very true
That zebra definitely deserves all *respect* in the world. What a tough fighter. R.I.P.
That was extremely hard to watch knowing that zebra was in immense pain and on top of that, trying to breathe.
Hormones take over till its last breath to easy its pain.
I'm pretty sure the Zebra did not experience that much pain given the extreme amount of stress and adrenaline it must have been under.
True, it’s a terrible, terrible death…
This is so sad to watch. I know damn well that's just how nature works but props to that zebra for fighting as much as he could.
You would think Zebras would have learned to build bridges by now.
They still have to recruit crocodiles to build it.
Lol,you're joking right?
Right - no way crocodiles could build a bridge - no opposable thumbs and their legs are too short to operate powertools.@@oentrepreneur
😂😂
@@johnv8408 Beavers also do not have an opposite toe. BUT they build dams... You don't need fingers - a man without hands could build a bridge with his mouth (I mean just throw stones and branches at the road). This is a question of intellect and not fingers...
Fun Fact: Did you know that crocodiles can go for several months without eating? In extreme cases, they can go 3 years without eating anything! They conserve their energy by staying motionless or moving slow.
But if one crocodile went for three years without eating or hunting anything then that would mean it’d be out of practice.
the fact that zebra lost have its face and kept trying to escape is impressive
Yes, he fought hard.
And his fighting probably saved some of this friends.
Because this animal is stupid. It is obvious that even the dumbest person would never find himself in such a situation, and if a person found himself in such a situation, he would give up, not because the person is weak, but because the person is smart enough to make the decision to die. Humans would sacrifice even more lives if necessary to take revenge; most animals are incapable of this, and are even incapable of accepting their own death.
Sorry the video was so shaky. I am not a professional photographer. I basically just pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and started recording. But it does make the footage even more amazing that it got so many millions of views. National Geographic would love to get such video. I'm sure they carry around tens of thousands of dollars of equipment. I did not have an expensive camera like large professional productions use. There was also a lot going on during the filming. The wind was blowing, and we had been waiting out in the sun for many, many hours. I was kind of exhausted and sort of balancing on the top of the truck. There was nowhere to put a camera stand. Every breath I took shook the phone. At times I was holding my breath for long periods trying not to move the phone/camera. I actually could not even see what I was shooting at because of the sun. I was just recording blindly in the direction of the action. Only afterwards when I was looking closely at the video did I clearly see the entire animal attack.
I felt my chest harden seeing harsh criticism of this. I wish THEY would put themselves in your shoes and see just how easy it is! Thank you for your time, craft and work set aside for this. It's tragic how nature can be, and humbling. Happy st. Patrick's day man, be safe out there 🎉🎉
It adds realism, amateur videography is still videography, and great capture at that.
This is nature at its work. Unfiltered, unforgiving and uncensored.
So true
The "uncensored" part is especially true for that zebra pp at the start
That zebra must have been in such horrible pain, poor thing fought to the end.
It was so sad

Pretty sure Adrenaline took out most of the pain

The fact that it took 5 of them to take the Zebra down is honestly impressive. This video is really sad, but it does go to show how durable Zebras actually are.
I think the other crocs was toying with him. One croc would be enough to kill the Zebra
@@nazbmn242 That can depend on the species of the Crocodile.
Look how the crocodiles wait patiently to attack, even if the zebras are right in their faces! Very strategic and incredibly smart, wouldn't expect anything less from an apex predator.

Geez that ending just broke my heart. It was a baby that had the misfortune of bumping into a croc, it tried to get away. When it couldn't it tried biting in self defense and that croc caught his mouth 😭 then the kid was crying then the croc did a death roll on its face ripping off its nose and jaw off. Poor thing, geez then it was just looking around in shock one last time then laid down and all the crocs got it. Imagine the pain it felt underwater being ripped apart alive.
This mades me actually feel something, and its shock & saddening.
We often talk of man's "bestial" cruelty, but this is terribly unjust and insulting to beasts: a wild animal can never be as cruel as man, as artistic, as refined in his cruelty. The crocodile mauls and tears its prey because that is all it knows. It would never enter its head to leave people all night nailed by their ears, even if it could do it. There were people , incidentally, that took a sadistic pleasure in torturing children, starting with cutting them out of their mothers' wombs with a dagger, and going so far as to throw babes-in-arms into the air and impale them on the points of their bayonets before their mothers' very eyes. Doing it before the mothers' eyes was what gave it particular piquancy. But here is one example that I find quite fascinating. Picture the scene: an infant in the arms of its trembling mother, surrounded by the several enemy soldiers. They have thought up an amusing game: they caress the child, laugh to make it laugh; they succeed, the child laughs. At just that moment one of them aims his pistol at the child, six inches from its face. The child chuckles gleefully, holds out its little hands to grab the pistol, and suddenly the evil joker discharges the pistol full in its face and blows its little head to pieces... Now tell me if any animal would be as artistically as cruel…
This really demonstrates the strength of the crocodiles. The bite force on these guys is no joke. Even lions are scared of them, and elephants remain cautious around the water too.
Elephants >>> croc

This video is a realistic portrayal of nature. No added fancy music, no deathly strike in every second of the video. That makes this a good video.
That said, those poor zebra's really suffer a lot before they die, so this is not a video for soft hearted people.
Thank you so much for watching. Your comment made my day
No music you say?
Damn that last zebra fight like hell was brutal
oh God this was hard to watch, i feel so bad, that zebra suffered so much and tried their best to escape even if their muzzle was gone and died
The last zebra's will to live is bigger than any teenager these days
I can’t imagine the pain that zebra had to go through. They were a true fighter till the end.
Prolly got so much it didn’t feel the pain anymore like shock
Crazy. We think we're peak evolution? Nah. It's gators/crocs. Haven't had a reason to change for millions of years. The perfect survival animal.
Our species is as narcissistic as it comes.
Let's see how it fights against a nuclear bomb or a vulcan minigun.
I dont believe in evolution..but everyone has their belief of how the world came into existence I guess...
The irony of that one thirsty zebra feeling comfortable enough to just stop and sip the water juxtaposed with the decapitation just yards away is mind blowing
Where
That zebra surely was gangstar, or probably in shock about the whole situation so intelligence froze.
Zebra social structures are not like other horses’, most of which have hierarchical family structures (with the most experienced stallion and mare leading the herd). Most Zebra species have a loose herd structure that’s only together because of safety in numbers, and not necessarily because of social bonds.
Zebras are also unpredictable and more aggressive than feral horses or horse species that were domesticated. It’s theorized that such behavior developed due to the hunting of zebras by early humans, creating a sort of instinctual fear.
What a horrible, agonizing way to go. I can’t imagine the kind of pain he was in.
Imagine how happy the crocodile felt for catching something instead.
Vegans: don’t kill animals to eat them, let them live peacefully in the nature
The nature:
🐊Веганы, я сьел зебру, чтоб она не ела вашу еду. Не благодарите)))
1. This isint in a zoo
2. what the hell is the zookeeper supposed to do?
3. its nature, things die
True
It's amazing how that zebra remained conscious after that trauma! RIP ZEBRA!
Testosterone. They have one of the highest test counts of any land mammal due to their environment and a powerful need to run/kick the shit out of stuff
And if you would happen to go near one, it will send you to meet the sandal wearing bearded man in the sky
Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to say that’s what an actual fighter looks like, a fighter who despite being horribly injured will still go out with courage with no fear and fight against its enemies, what a legend this zebra is
Its just instincts bruh" if you put your hand in a fire" you will automatically pull it out"
@@bricktop2090 no! Is a heroe endeed. He sacrifice self so his girl friend stay safe. A real Leonardo Di Caprio.

This scene is like Robert Baratheon talking about war stories and bard's songs.
"They don't sing about them shitting themselves." Here it's "they don't sing about faces being chewed off."
The Zebra appeared visibly stunned from the pain and unable to fight back. Don't know where you people get ' the Zebra fought hard' from. It didn't buck or anything.
But still, it's dead.
Can you imagine the pain the zebra was going through??????
Absolutely horrible, Africa is terrible for animal life
I imagine blood lose, close to shock and difficulty breathing with damaged nasal passages.
Really hate reptiles.
Crocs brain is the size of a walnut.
Eat, sleep, make little killers.
Things were created this way
welcome to the beautiful but not so wholesome side of mother nature
Yes, I can imagine.
But idiots who say: that's nature, can't.
Cause they are very comfortable and brave in front of the phone.
They're not in that zebra's place.
If they were, they would sh!t themselves instantly, and wouldn't be so "brave" anymore.
Disgusting cowards.
Почему-то вспомнились кадры хроники Второй мировой.
Мне кажется, что солдат, бегущий в атаку на вражеские позиции, чувствует себя примерно так же, как одна из таких зебр.
He fought so hard. It took about 7 crocs on their home turf to bring him down, even after he lost half his face he was kicking and shoving crocs around.
This reminds us that nature has two faces, one that is beautiful and one that is absolutely terrifying

Amazingly the zebra is still standing and continues to fight for its’ life without half of its’ head.
Can’t imagine how much that hurt. Always gut wrenching to watch but fascinating at the same time
To humans it’s cruel but it’s just the way the wild works. The food chain is a real thing.
The zebra was high on adrenaline. It was probably less painful, than it looks like. That's an effect heavily hurted humans have too.
what a legend he took one for the team and died a warrior, I can't imagine the pain he was in, R.I.P buddy
Let's be real, probably nothing. The amount of adrenaline, or whatever is closest to that is probably through the roof. I doubt they felt much other than the urge to survive
@@gmx0413 Yea naw if someone rips your face off and your spurting blood everywhere I don't care how much adrenalin your in your fucking feeling that shit lmao
Yeah I don't think that was intentional, Zebra was tryna go around the croc.
"Took one for the team" yeah sure lol
Humans don't know how safe they are...
We do, we just do stuff like this to ourselves more often than nature does. Look up sloth bear attacks tho. Those are brutal.
@@An_Obese_Beavernope we don't do it more often. There are 8 billion people and much less than 1% are violent to each other. Animals on the other hand fight, kill and eat each other 24/7 every single second. We have morals and more pure than all these beasts out there.
@@hrvat7770No we just have a choice. Nature is cruel but we don't have to be.
great point

Imagine what a dinosaur fight have looked like
Incredibly horrifying and gorey
The fact that SOME people felt bad because the guy didn't commit suicide by attempting to save the zebra just displays how screwed humanity is
I know right. I have had a thousand comments telling me I should have jumped in there to rescue the zebra. :)

Atleast we have some valid human beings I'm this reply thread
That Zebra was a freaking warrior till the end it's face is hanging off and it's still not going down without a fight glad they just finished him off tho it was gonna die either way but still incredible the will to live on.

"Don't mind me, just walking in the background."
Animals are truly built different. The fact that Zebra was trying to struggle and not quit because of the pain says a lot.
Fascinating, terrifying, and sad all in one. Poor buddy. He was a bad dude though and kept fighting. I’m glad they took him though as it would have been awful for him/her to survive for a while with no face. Would’ve starved to death or been infected and died a horrible slow death.
I pray that these animals go into shock in such instances and don’t feel a thing. 🙏
Thanks for watching.
Those zebra are so powerful we don’t give them enough credit he was still fighting them off even with half his face off. Rest in paradise. Even lions think twice trying to kill a zebra and only do that if they are in a pack.
Indeed zebras are strong, nature isn’t much of a food chain honestly, since things lower can kill things higher
The worst films of my childhood were programs about animals. Nature is an attraction of cruelty and pain. Humanity might be reassuring, but versions 1.0 are always far from ideal.
Alas, after the illegal bombing of Syria, Libya and Iraq by some countries of the supposedly civilized world, it becomes clear and understandable that some people are scarier than the most cruel animals.
I remember those films. Some were from “Wild Kingdom”
20:41 he takes one last moment to look at his friends walking away unhurt from the river before he disappears below the surface forever.
Nature is cruel 😕
Poor thing.
But he fought hard and probably saved some of his friends.
Humans in Israel are worse
The thing for me is that he knew he was going to die bc when he was staring off he didn’t try to escape. Amazing how smart animals are. He accepted his fate and took his last seconds to do wat u jus said!
@@ZAKCRI..he couldn't get away, they literally had their jaws on him

Damn, not gonna lie, I thought that was a clickbait title and thumbnail - I'm kinda wishing it was now! That was grusome. Poor zebra
Exactly. Very gruesome and the pain that it was in too.
Fun Fact: A group of zebras can be called a “Dazzle”. This name comes from the dazzling motion effect of a group of running zebras. Some zoologists think zebras use their stripes as camouflage when the heard is in a big group to confuse predators. This makes it more difficult to single out individual zebras to attack. I like that they are called a Dazzle. They are dazzling!
Bruhh
That final look of despair he gives to his relatives before getting turned to pieces is dramatic and heartbreaking. He just knows he’s gonna die, yet finally rises to see his family before going down.
That is a devastating perspective to ponder.
So sadd.. 😢

There is a big poaching problem in Africa. The non-interference policy protects the animals from poachers. Masai Mara does not permit anyone to interfere with the wild animals in the National Reserve.
Also, it was a far distance. It only appears closer with my cameras zoom lens. First of all, I wasn't about to jump in the water that would certainly be my death. Secondly, I don't I know if I could even throw a rock that far and if I could throw a rock that far I would probably miss and hit a zebra instead of a crocodile. Also, Masai Mara does not permit anyone to interfere with the wild animals in the National Reserve. In addition, my guide would not permit me to throw rocks at the animals. I could not even leave the vehicle to get out and look for rocks. If I left the safety of our vehicle I would be attacked by a wild animal. Thank you for your comments and thank you for watching!
The zebras can not tell the difference between the rocks and the crocodiles. Those stones in the water look just like crocodiles. The crocodiles are using this to their advantage.
The way they started screaming in the middle of the river when they could finally see gave me so much anxiety. And they just had to keep going and hope it wasn't going to be them at that point. I felt terror just watching it, not knowing who it would be either.
It was terrifying to me as well. @@ColoradoMntn1222
Don't blame the crocodile for being a crocodile, this is nature. We've been doing the same thing to other animals like Mammoths and other big mammals during the ice age in order to survive and the crocodile is doing the same.
actually we still do that in much larger numbers
Thing that sucks is the poor zebra is alive all the way till the end. Can’t imagine the pain it was feeling before it finally passed away.😢
The worst thing is that the crocodiles tried to put her in the water to drown her and kill her quickly, but she kept fighting, prolonging her suffering.

It's important that these gruesome clips are shown in all wildlife documentaries and so forth. Humans are waaaaay too disconnected from not just the truth of their own nature and behaviour (talk is cheap: action is all the matters in life) but that of the entire animal kingdom. Upvote for being one of the rare clips of this kind that I've come across-- in my entire life. I worry about how soft humans are, certainly here in the West. College kids trying to boss everyone around, taking their militant thought experiments too far when they haven't got a clue about life.
Thank you for your great comment. You made my day.
@@Dr_Adam I also forgot to add that grown women here in the West get "grossed out" and suffer a "micro trauma" at even the SUGGESTION that they slaughter and butcher their own chicken for dinner yet are happy to post pictures of themselves sitting in hipster Korean fried chicken joints, happily licking their greasy fingers. That's EXACTLY the disconnect I'm talking about.
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 That's why a lot of them would not survive without their supermarkets to buy their food. They depend on their phones, pedicures, clothes shopping and all the latest trends. There is such a huge difference between men and women who live in the country on farms and ranches and men and women who live in the city unless the man is a hunter and helps if the woman is too or the very least is not squeamish about it.

That Zebra was tough.
Indeed, she was so strong.
Thank you so much for your all your questions. There have been many comments suggesting a bridge be built for the zebras to cross the river I understand your sympathy for the zebra. However, the other side of the river is the country of Tanzania. So, it would have to be an international bridge. Also, the Masai Mara wildlife park is trying to stay as natural as possible without creating man-made structures such as bridges. In addition, there are many other rivers the zebras must cross to get to their food source. Should there be bridges built everywhere for the zebras to use? Kenya is a 3rd world county with many other issues that should take priority over building bridges for zebras. Crocodiles can lay and wait on bridges too.
Also, if the crocodiles all starve and die it will throw off the balance of nature.
I know people believe zebras are cute and most people don't find crocodiles to be beautiful. That doesn't mean that crocodiles are evil and zebras are good. Thank you for watching .
That little zebra fought so very hard. The fight to live is inspiring. She took on 5 crocodiles in her last battle for survival! She will not be forgotten!
Why is everybody so angry crocs dont have Mcdonalds drive through like you do
Bird is in the background like "well now that they are busy, I'll just go about my business skimming the water now..."
God after I saw it’s face get ripped off I was just hoping for the crocs to finish him off. I can’t imagine how painful that must’ve been.
Imagine there being 500 zebras and your the one that has to be eaten
This just shows how much damage a crocodiles bite can do and why not to mess with them unless a professional
Ofcourse they have the hardest bite force in the world
Like Steve Irwin.

I am sorry but the baby zebra did die at the end. The crocodiles pulled it under the water to eat it and it never came to the surface again. She fought so hard for her life. It was an epic last battle.

To clarify the purpose of the crocodile's "Death roll":
Crocodiles do have extremely powerful jaws that clamp tight on their prey, but they do not have the cutting teeth that we have in the front upper and lower jaws of our mouths. In order to pull a chunk of meat off of their prey, a crocodile twists or rolls its body to tear a piece loose. Animals have had to learn ways to pull apart their prey. This is also why, if you own a dog, that dog will bring its toy to you in its mouth and allow you to pull on that toy while the dog pulls voraciously. Dogs in the wild attack their prey in packs and several of them will pull at a chunk of flesh to tear it into smaller pieces that the dogs can actually eat.
The crocodiles' death roll is not to drown their prey. Crocodiles do not wait until their prey is dead to start eating its flesh.
Class dismissed.
I just gained 1,000 more brain cells reading this.
Thank you for your comment. I didn't know that about the death roll before. I am still learning.
Most often there will be more than one croc on the same animal doing the roll, seemingly working together, to get a manageable piece that they can swallow whole since they do not chew
It all depends. There are situations where the death roll is performed in order to drown the prey and there are also situations where it is performed to pull out a chunk of flesh. Crocs mostly eat their prey when they are already dead. However, there are situations where they may start eating when the prey is still alive. Although it's rare, it still happens from time to time. In short It all depends.
@@B_Brandon Sorry, but you are giving the crocodiles too much credit. yes, they do pull their prey out to the deeper waters, where it is harder for the prey to get away, but the sole purpose of the "death rolls" is to tear away pieces of flesh. Crocs simply do not have the ability to bite off pieces of food the way we do. Spinning their bodies while latching onto a bite of flesh is the only way crocs can tear off a chunk of meat that can be swallowed. Crocs start eating as soon as it is clear that their prey will not escape. They do not care if their prey is alive or dead. Crocs are fairly simple. Why waste any more time than is needed to start feeding? That is Nature.
Yep. I’ve never been more mortified and fascinated in my entire life. To see the zebra stand there with no nose and face completely bloody still left me speechless. Just nothing he could do surrounded by 5 crocks that were already ripping his body apart. No death roll. Just crunching him. I wish I never found this video.
Sorry, I know it is hard to watch
They say, *Life ain't butterflies and rainbow.* Life hides a very dark side on the other side. Fortunately we don't get to see much of it.
@@HoRiZoN- yeah I see that now. Just imagine the pain he felt as he fought. They took him apart and he saw them eating his flesh. So horrifying.
@@TheCreoleSon89 That was a very horrible way to go, Honestly I was hoping that they drown him as fast as possible so he doesn't suffer that much.
That's why I have a lot of respect for Lions, Tigers, cheetahs (Felidae Animals in general) which they kill their prey before start chewing on them. Not like Crocodiles or wild dogs where they will take the prey apart while it's atill alive.
@@HoRiZoN- they were too busy stealing his guts slowly consuming him alive to drown his. Just can’t get that image out of my head. Poor zebra. Life goes on though. I’ll shake it off eventually.
I literally teared up when the Zebra was free for a second trying to call for its members to help it
It was sad
Depends on the zebra species. Many species follow loose herd structures, which are only together because of safety in numbers, numbers being a key word here.
To compare and contrast, while elephant herds will respond to dangers by banding together to protect themselves and their young, zebras will just run away as a whole, but not actually caring for each others’ safety. To put it into human analogy, elephants are when a dangerous person threatens a group of friends, they will try to fight or at least ensure each others’ safety. Zebras are when someone makes a threat and a crowd mindlessly rushes to the exits, fleeing altogether, but putting themselves first and not caring for the people that get trampled or attacked. Of course, the analogy is imperfect since human nature is different, but it should show the contrast quite well.
The fact that I know this is nature, but just watching this makes me feel horrified. It’s absolutely horrifying to watch even though it’s how life is.
You disgust me, you coward. This is my first and final reply to you, loser. lol
@@Rishi123456789 wot?

You're allowed to be disturbed even though you know it's just life. I'd argue that's MORE reason to be disturbed. Stuff like this happens every day,even sometimes to humans, and we can't forget that. It's good to remain grounded and understand that life isn't all sunshine and rainbows and that there's true darkness. But there is good aswell and that's what makes life beautiful.
I couldn't imagine the pain that thing was in

You should come to South Africa at Kruger National Park.. Nile Crocodiles have the most graphic hunts ever, aling eith salties. Its even scarier when you see it live.
Hello, I was the one who filmed the video. I was on top of a Safari vehicle while filming this video in Kenya. I was shooting the video out of the roof of the truck. You cannot leave the vehicle or you will probably be attacked by an animal.
If you need to use the toilet you have to be driven somewhere safe. Animals are waiting in the tall grass everywhere and will jump out and attack you. Also, I hired a great guide who was protecting me. My guide was always looking to protect me. Typically, the animals will not jump into the truck to attack you. As long as you stay inside of your vehicle you are pretty much safe.
We had to wait inside of the vehicle for many hours for the zebras to finally decide to cross the Mara River into Tanzania.
