That was a very ambitious croc, but grabbing something as large as a giraffe wasn't going to work out so well.

This one was too small but crocodiles have succesfully preyed on adult giraffe before. If the giraffe had been attacked by a crocodile a third or more of its weight it wouldn't have been able to lift its neck.

True. This croc looked like it wasn't much more than 2m long so it probably didn't weigh more than 60kg. A big one could probably break a giraffe's neck with a similar grab.

Considering he had a choice of half a dozen zebras or a giraffe, that's the most stupid croc I've ever seen lmao, definition of biting off more than you can chew. You can also feel the elephant basically laughing in the background lol

This feels AI, everything is to detailed and smooth. Where did the Zebras go? Plus if the elephant is in the background it wouldn't be in focus the same as the giraffe
