Although land is not the crocodile’s forte, the strength of this animal cannot be underestimated.

In the wild natural world, we often see images of high-level carnivores hunting lower-level herbivores, but we rarely see battles between predators.

This is because in the context of increasingly fierce competition for survival, battles between the strong often cause more damage than the value they bring.

In particular, in the case where one side is known as the “King of the Forest” and the other side is the “King of the Swamp”, each of whom is king and general in his own place, meaningless wars will be extremely rare. when it happens.

Lions are still known as arrogant and ferocious animals in the deep forest. But to compete in strength with the lord of the swamp – the crocodile – is definitely not enough.

Fortunately, that rarely happens, because lions often live and hunt in groups. They live together in large prides of 15-40 animals, including many adult males, lionesses and their cubs.

The larger the herd, the more strength it shows, and the greater the number of males, the more it helps ensure the safety of the offspring.

Thanks to numbers and solidarity, the lion’s ability to achieve a better result if they accidentally confront a crocodile has increased.

Known to be masters of hunting as well as possessing excellent skills and tactics, crocodiles’ advantage lies in their incredibly strong bite force, which can kill or injure any opponent.

Of course lions know this, they are also smart enough to understand that attacking crocodiles is never a smart choice.

Schoolboy Connor Dawes – 15 years old, on a picnic with his family, was extremely lucky to encounter one of the most anticipated confrontations in the wild natural world at Entabeni Animal Sanctuary. , South Africa.

That day, on the way to explore the reserve, the Dawes group accidentally encountered a male lion. After reuniting with the whole family, the lions continued to walk along the road.

Without saying a word, the whole herd of lions flocked to the area of ​​a crocodile lying stretched out on the ground sunbathing.

Suddenly, a male lion member of the pride rushed forward to attack the crocodile. Launched to attack, the other lions simultaneously rushed forward and pulled the crocodile out of the lake.

The crocodile also does not appear to be a weak animal. Faced with the lion’s ferocity and overwhelming numbers, the crocodile responded tenaciously, retaliating. In the end, the crocodile was still able to escape from the encirclement of the lions.
