An impala miraculously escaped the jaws of a crocodile in a watering hole in the Kruger National Park, only to be caught by a leopard.
A video shared by Latest Sightings and filmed by Angela and Craig Weeks shows the impala getting snatched by a crocodile from behind, where both animals plunge into the water.
The impala fought valiantly for its life, waiting for the crocodile to release it for a brief second so that it could escape the water.
The prehistoric reptile had its jaws locked around one of the impala’s legs, making for an all-round painful experience.
While this is going on, the rest of the herd are making alarm sounds to the situation unfolding. A leopard then creeps in on the action, lying in wait.
As soon as the impala manages to make a break for freedom, making a fatal decision in its direction. The odds were not in this antelope’s favour.
Take a look at the incredible sighting below.
