Here’s how YouTube users reacted to the video of the crocodile and the lions:

“I like how they're forced to accept that they're not getting rid of the croc that easily and they just start eating with the croc staring right at them the whole time,” posted a YouTube user. “Really wish those encounters weren't so short on film, these are so addictive to watch,” added another. “I like how they kept the cubs at a safe distance while accepting the underlying truth that this beast is going no where!” joined a third. “Can't tell if the crocodile was so hungry that he went so far away from water or if he just came to troll those lions,” joked a fourth. “I love how Crocs are the only other predator in the Savanna that can scare or at least put lions on edge just by being there,” wrote a fifth.
