"As we were driving by the Luangwa River, we saw a commotion transpiring in the water below. As the sighting started playing itself out, we were able to identify the culprits. An elephant and a crocodile! I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, I was a bit scared for the crocodile. I mean, have you seen how big elephants can get?!" Emmanuel Sauti said to Latest Sightings.

He further added, "I was absolutely thrilled to witness something so rare. And boy, was it a sight to see! The elephant was putting up a good fight, and the crocodile wasn't backing down either."

The clip shows an elephant walking in the river, and soon it is getting chased by a crocodile. Then, when the crocodile bites the jumbo's tail, it flings the reptile in the air.

An individual wrote, "I don’t usually mind when I see nature taking its course, but when it comes to an elephant, I usually hope the elephants always win because they are so intelligent and beautiful."

A second shared, "That crocodile got lucky the elephant didn't stomp him."

"That elephant is actually huge, I thought it was small, but once it's out of the water you can see how big it is," expressed a third.

A fourth commented, "I was worried for the elephant the whole time. It's a relief the gentle giant is okay."

A fifth said, "Smart crocodile. He figured if he let it go before they got on the sand wouldn't be a bad idea. It's not everyone that can recognise right away how badly a big meal like that can ruin their day."
