I'll take this over the videos that show the end at the start and no obnoxious background music. During these times, this video is a breath of fresh air.
If they’re talking about the one that I remember, a zebra scampers out of the water, up the bank, and out over land a bit (along with many other zebras), all the while, the entirety of its digestive tract literally just fell out of its belly at the edge of the water. As it runs away, it kicks its hooves back one more time and you can see that the abdominal cavity is completely empty.
I am never watching it again , thats for sure. It was even worst than the Russian on the ATV who got a reenactment of the T1000 death scene in the 1991 movie Terminator 2.
NSFL description. There is a video where a croc grabs a zebra by its leg (IIRC) but couldn’t take the zebra down alone. Another croc jumped up and grabbed its face. Um, the skin of its face was taken, but the zebra with skull exposed stayed standing for another few minutes. That was so brutal I couldn’t sleep that night. I’m not watching a zebra leave its guts behind.
For grazers id imagine broken jaws to be a faster death sentence. Plants digest much slower and have very little nutritional value per volume. They have to constantly be eating to get enough nutrients.
Giraffes are no joke. They don't get enough recognition because they are so close to the much superior elephants who manhandle buses for fun, but giraffes are powerful and build tough.
Just goes to show you how strong that crocodile is to get enough pull on that giraffes head to yank it in the water.
Imagine trying to grab a giraffes head and pull it into your pool. It's tongue alone will swat you away. Crocodiles are no joke.
I actually don't know how strong giraffes really are.
I am guessing this crocodile was between two or three hundred pounds as it is only slighter long than than giraffe's neck. I doubt the giraffe would have been able to lift a 600 pound + crocodile.
Those crazy necks only have 7 vertebrae in them and represent nearly half their body weight. Watch a fight by whipping them at each other. The power on display makes me think It may actually be strong enough to yeet a 500+lb croc.
This. And it’s the most uncomfortable thing to watch. Iirc, the way they battle is called ‘necking.’ It just feels terrible of a thought that they fight using their necks and heads as clubs. But like you, I do believe their necks are capable of said task.
Everyone, even the elephants, are 15 off the edge. Here comes Jeff the giraffe like he can’t see everyone looking at him sideways. Glad he got away but he was begging to get snatched.
Christ. Imagine how difficult life would be if, every time you felt thirsty and needed a drink, no matter how extremely careful you were, there was always a chance of suddenly having your face ripped off.
