It’s dog eat dog in the wild, or in the case of this video captured by a visitor to the Samburu National Reserve in Kenya, it’s a matter of crocodile or lion eats elephant. When an elephant died at the side of a lake in the African reserve, leaving enough meat to feed a multitude of animals, a group of hungry lions and a crocodile with a serious meat craving immediately clocked the easy catch. But the elephant meat wasn’t easy for either predator to win if this video of a rare stand-off between crocodile and lion, uploaded to YouTube by Kai Banks, is to be believed.
![]() ^ Crocodile and the young male stand off. ![]() ^ other two join in the fray

Oops messed up a bit of the post. The crocs leg was bleeding not the lions. Video below http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I6xjNt-ZB60 Edited by Black Ice, Nov 23 2014, 04:42 PM.

Nice find, though nile croc isn't the world's largest reptile, the saltwater croc is significantly bigger if I'm not mistaken. |

I wouldn't call that crocodile "large", doesn't look much bigger than the young male in the video but a very impressive sighting nonetheless. |
