Unfortunately the water wasnt safe either as the impala encounters a crocodile. The poor impala shakes in the water the adrenaline clearly overwhelming him at this point. The croc tried a few times to bite the impala but it was quite a large bull.

He decides to swim away with the croc still chomping on his tail. The impala reaches the shallower water where the dogs have the advantage and the poor impala meets his fate. This display really proves why these dogs are the most successful hunters on earth. Although this time they might have just gotten lucky. Interested in a Botswana safari? Get some ideas here: ,
