Gavin Ellard, a Kruger enthusiast, filmed this in Pafuri Border Rest Camp in the northern part of the park.
It was a hot winter's day over a long weekend in August, so Gavin and his family decided to spend some time at the camp's pool. However, their relaxation was abruptly interrupted when they heard splashes coming from the Luvuvhu River, not far from them.
They had already seen a crocodile making a catch, and when they caught sight of it, they realized it had happened again!
No one was expecting any more action, but Gavin still pulled out his phone to start recording. Luckily so, because it turns out, everyone at the camp wasn’t the only one watching...
From above, a hungry fish eagle was watching all the action and wanted in! Just the thought of it seemed impossible, but the eagle was determined, so it landed on the banks to watch.
The crocodile made light work of its catch, and in no time, the warthog was reduced to leftovers. The eagle knew it had to act fast before it was all gone.
As the croc paused to swallow, the cheeky eagle swooped in and stole everything that was left. The attempt was flawless, but it just couldn't manage to fly away!
The eagle grabbed onto the remains, but they were too heavy, and ended up pulling it into the water. That's when panic kicked in, and for good reason; the crocodile was already on the way!
The eagle was now in serious trouble, so it kicked and flapped, and did whatever it could to make it to the bank.
Somehow, the eagle managed to beat the crocodile to the exit, but just as it thought it was home-free, the piece of meat became lodged in the sand. The crocodile noticed and lunged in with its jaws open, forcing the eagle to abandon the meal.
This eagle almost managed to pull one over the crocodile, but in the end, it was surely just happy to make it out alive!
