Amazing wildlife video shows crocodile taking down a warthog
Tourist in Africa captures tense moment unfolding in animal kingdom

Arrow shows crocodiles position next to warthog as a pack of jackals looks on; photo is a screen grab from the video
A warthog drinking from a watering hole on the African savanna found itself in a stare down with a pack of hungry jackals standing on the bank. Positioned just inside the water, the warthog apparently believes it is safe. But unbeknownst to the warthog, a hungry crocodile slowly eases up beside it.
The jackals watch in anticipation, as if knowing the crocodile is there and thinking, or hoping, that the warthog will panic and jump onto land where hed be an easy meal.
As the U.K. Daily Mail said in its aptly written headline, the warthog was Caught between a croc and a hard place. The crocodile, once in position, waited 1 1/2 minutes before the right moment to pounce. Watch the final, tense moments unfold in this amazing wildlife video that just hit the news cycle in the past day or so (the full version is below):
