Apex predators clash in a ferocious battle between a pride of lions are surrounding a lone exposed crocodile. Even apex predators face danger in the wild, it is a constant companion in the wild. These animals usually fight the most fiercely over territories or food sources, although violent confrontations are rare.
This footage, taken in Kenya by Craig, shows the intense conflicts that take place when these incredible predators clash in earnest. It appeared that a large animal had recently died near deep water, drawing both lions and a crocodile.
The carcass looked relatively untouched and appeared to have once been an elephant. What killed it is unknown, as neither lions nor crocodiles typically attempt to hunt prey of that size because of how difficult such a hunt would be.
