It’s a world where crocodiles eat: moment crocodile bites its teeth in shocking two-hour attack on younger reptile

This is the shocking moment a crocodile tries to devour another helpless crocodile.

Photographer Anne-Marie Scheepers (52) took the photos while visiting South Africa’s Kruger National Park.

In the photos, a crocodile can be seen holding its teeth and shaking the smaller crocodile.

The attack took place within two hours.

She said the large crocodile began to do the death roll in the water while the small crocodile “was still alive and fighting bravely.”

Scheepers, from Johannesburg, said she was on an eight-day trip to Skukuza, the main camp in Kruger, where they stayed at the campsite.

She said: “On the way from Lower-Sable, past Sunset Dam, I noticed something strange and asked my friend to stand back so I could look at it again.

“I saw the crocodile with another crocodile in its mouth and at first thought it was part of a mating ritual.

“But when I looked through the lens, I saw the blood on the big crocodile’s teeth.

“We realized that it wasn’t a mating ritual, it was an attack.”

“We could see the crocodile opening and slowly closing its mouth while its tail was wagging,” added Scheepers.

The large crocodile would then emerge from the water and shake the little one over and over again every 10 to 15 minutes.

Scheepers says the large crocodile then came out of the water and repeatedly shook the small one every 10 to 15 minutes

“I knew the little one was alive because he opened and closed his mouth and eyes and finally wagged his tail,” Scheepers said.

The Nile crocodile, which lives in sub-Saharan Africa, can reach a maximum size of about 20 feet and weigh up to 1,650 pounds.

Adults eat fish, amphibians, and reptiles, but may kill a variety of large vertebrates, including goats, buffalo, hippos, and big cats.
