Despite its body weighing 226 kg, the giant crocodile still rushed forward as fast as lightning and tightly grabbed the zebra that was nervously crossing the river.
In front of the hungry 4.9m long crocodile was a herd of zebras cautiously wading across the river. One of them, a zebra weighing about 200 kg, had the misfortune of becoming the target of a brutal hunter.

From the depths of the water, the giant crocodile rushed up, grabbed its prey and pulled it into the river as quickly as it could, fresh blood splashing in the air. A moment later, the only part of the unfortunate zebra still caught in the lens was just a hoof, the rest went into the crocodile’s stomach.

A series of photos that realistically recreate the cruel face of nature captured by Dennis Stogsdill during his trip to the Vampire Triangle, Kenya.

“The giant crocodiles are like the embodiment of the Devil. They can capture their prey in the blink of an eye,” the 50-year-old financial consultant shared. “Normally we have to wait several hours to see such a scene, but on that photo shoot day, as soon as everyone arrived, the horses were just in time to cross the river.”

“Lately, it’s rare for animals to venture across the river like that. The crocodiles are already hungry. As soon as they see movement, they immediately gather and wait to hunt, the whole process lasts about 40-45 minutes.” “, he added. “As soon as the zebra fell, the other crocodiles in the herd immediately swam to compete with each other, each one wanting to be fed. Sometimes they even fought.”
