Crocodile catched little elephant’s trunk when he was drinking a water! See what happened after

With his mother’s help, a baby elephant narrowly escaped a crocodile attack that almost cost him his trunk. While playing in the water at a watering hole in Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools, the calf’s playful splashes caught the attention of a lurking crocodile, which lunged and clamped onto his trunk.

As the crocodile gripped tight, the baby elephant fought back, trumpeting in fear. The rest of the herd gathered, snorting and trumpeting to support the calf. With remarkable resilience, the baby, aided by his mother, managed to shake off the predator, forcing it back into the water.

Photographer Francois Borman captured this extraordinary moment. “This was the last thing I expected to see. Wildlife photography is all about patience, but moments like this make it all worthwhile,” he shared.
