It is said that one should not make an enemy of a crocodile while living in water. This is because one cannot tell when it will attack its prey and make it its prey in no time. But this saying is not true every time. Sometimes the crocodile itself becomes the prey, and sometimes the prey escapes from its clutches very easily. One such video is going viral on social media, in which a wildebeest, an animal of the deer species, gets trapped in the clutches of 3 crocodiles. That too in the middle of the river, but it seems as if a miracle happened and that wildebeest comes out of the river alive and fearless.
The video has been shared by YouTube channel Latest Sightings, which is from Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. The video shows that a wildebeest showed courage to cross the Mara River, risking its life. This river is a habitat of dangerous crocodiles. In such a situation, the wildebeest was surrounded by 3 crocodiles. One crocodile had caught it in its jaws, while the other two were present nearby. This amazing sight was captured by Wild Eye’s content and media manager Luke Street and he shared his footage and story with Latest Sightings.
Luke told Latest Sightings that wildebeests usually move in herds, but this one was alone. Perhaps that is why it decided to cross the river. In such a situation, 3 crocodiles started coming near him for hunting. 1 crocodile even caught him in his jaws. Tried to kill him several times, but the wildebeest did not give up. At one point it seemed that the wildebeest left him to die. He was not even resisting the crocodile. But then suddenly he used his legs. This struggle continued for a long time. Luke further said that when you see most of the wildebeest’s back covered with the crocodile’s jaws, you will really realize how big he was. Luckily, the water was shallow where the wildebeest was standing. In such a situation, he could push himself up using his powerful legs.
The crocodile and the wildebeest struggled for a while, but it could not kill the wildebeest. Then a miracle happened and the crocodile let go of the wildebeest. The wildebeest was probably not sure how it survived. Looking at it, it seemed that it was still in shock, but then it regained consciousness and started moving away. After this, the other crocodile chased it and caught its leg. But luck was still in the wildebeest’s favor. It gently pushed the other crocodile backwards with its leg. In this way, the wildebeest limped towards the rest of the herd on dry land without any injury. This video has been viewed more than 13 lakh 51 thousand times so far.
