As the antelope cautiously descended to the riverbank for a drink, even in a state of heightened vigilance, one from the herd fell victim to a seasoned predator, the crocodile, and was captured.

Impressive moment when a giant crocodile captures impala’s prey while drinking water on the banks of the Sabie River.

Well aware of the danger lurking, the herd of impala, also known as the high-horned antelope, both drinking water and being on high alert, any small movement makes the whole herd ready to run away. Even so, they cannot escape a predator as skilled and cunning as the crocodile.

The giant crocodile after a long wait patiently stalking under the water, it rushed up to seize the opportunity to catch the nearest antelope, using its sharp jaws to grip the prey’s legs. The poor long impala was put to an end for its beautiful life when it was easily dragged away by an underwater assassin without a chance to fight back.
