Crocodile tries to attack elephant

One of the best known species of crocodiles is the Nile crocodile, reptiles that have lived in the water for centuries and have been known since ancient Egypt. These reptiles can reach enormous sizes, reaching five meters in length and weighing close to a ton, however there are reports of individuals that exceeded these measurements, weighing almost 1,100 kilograms and over six meters in length. The Nile crocodile is seen as the largest freshwater predator in Africa and is a real nightmare for many other species. But despite being such a feared reptile, it doesn't mean they don't have animals that can hurt them. As shown in this video which shows a poor crocodile being attacked by a large elephant. Elephants rarely fight crocodiles, however, mothers are fiercely protective of their young and male elephants can be hostile during mating. But there is no way to guess what could have happened and why the elephant decided to attack this crocodile. Already in this footage, an unfortunate crocodile found itself in a very complicated situation, in which the reptile was almost killed after venturing too close to dozens of aggressive hippos. Probably thinking the reptile posed a threat to its young, the adult hippos banded together to defend the herd. In a dramatic scene, the cornered crocodile struggled frantically in an attempt to escape, while the angry hippos surrounded it and took turns to bite the crocodile. Despite its own powerful bite, this crocodile learned that even it was no match for Africa's most dangerous mammal. Everything looked like this cat would turn into a tasty treat. But he chose to face the reptile just as he was trying to eat some chicken and started hitting his snout. The cat fired a few blows at the crocodile, making the reptile back away. After the cat is satisfied with the chicken and doesn't care anymore, the crocodile comes back and finally manages to enjoy the chicken.
