This is the moment a crocodile launched a ferocious attack on a gazelle, before tearing it in half using its powerful jaws.

The 16ft reptile was lying in wait as its thirsty prey ran into a river to drink in the Masai Mara National Reserve, in Kenya.

Snatching the female by its leg, the half-ton beast dragged the gazelle underwater and drowned it before hauling its prey closer to the shore.

But after realising the Thompson's gazelle was too big to eat whole, the predator used its jaws to break the antelope two.

The gazelle were trying to cross a river in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya when a 16ft crocodile launched a frenzied attack.

Dramatic pictures capture the moment a crocodile launched a ferocious attack on a gazelle, before tearing it in half using its powerful jaws.

Gruesome pictures show how the gazelle was torn to shreds by the massive 16ft crocodile, which had sneaked up on its prey as it crossed a river.






Photographer:



The 51-year-old added: 'To see a half-ton crocodile hunting and eating this gazelle was frightening and the power and brutality was shocking.

'This one was a male, about five metres long and at least 10 years old.

'From the gazelle stepping into the water to being snatched by the crocodile only took about 30 seconds.

'We were about 25 metres away from the crocodile and seeing this, I felt the true power of nature displayed by these pre-historic killing machines.

'The scene was wild and raw from the speed and precision when they attacked to the strength and fury when they slapped the gazelle like a ragdoll.

It was unbelievable.'

That's the power of carnivorous animals like the crocodile. They're ever ready to devour.

Poor Antelope. Rest in Peace!

I hope the Animal activists here are seeing this one.. These animals are extremely dangerous, but when we kill them, you'd still see some people shouting 'extinction' upandan.

Who measured the crocodile? What I'm seeing there is between 8 and 10ft. Does the guy even know what 16ft looks like? The length of an average bedroom is like 12ft. Just imagine the crocodile in the pics covering that length and more.

You can Google largest crocodiles ever captured or saltwater crocodiles and read about them.


Some officers in the Homicide department, NYPD/LAPD/FBI in the U.S. or other developed countries will see you from a distance, tell your age and your weight.

That's what they do, they've been trained for that.

If they're going to miss, its going to be like 1.

Am saying this because you said who measured it?

If you've been seeing NatGeo Wild or any Wildlife documentaries, you will understand these wild photographers and cameramen.
