These photos were taken by the British tourist Donna Bourdon during her recent visit to the Game Reserve Malamala. The incident occurred on Begemotova lakes, when a group of tourists watching a herd of buffalo. Crocodile swam to shore and lay down between the buffalo when they drank. It seemed that he was not going to touch them. Then, without warning, he jumped on one of the pups.

1. Attack: crocodile approaching young buffalo in the reserve Johannesburg MalaMala.





2. Capture: crocodile attacks, but the herd leaves the calf to fend for themselves.



3. Jaws: Crocodile opens his mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, while the younger buffalo is the last chance to escape.



4. Too late: the crocodile grabs exhausted after two hours of battle calf and pulls it under water.

However, the herd was calm and to what is happening. Mother calf at times approached him, but made no attempt to help. Typically, the most protected in the offspring, he relied on the herd, while the herd is not to evaluate the threat of the crocodile. Giant reptiles took more than two hours to overcome a calf.
