Crocodile Catches Cheetah

On a LIVE safari for WildEarth, &Beyond Phinda guide, Busani Mtshali, came across a mother cheetah with two cubs. As the male cub approached the waterhole to quench his thirst, Busani noticed a crocodile was lurking in the water nearby. What followed was sad and hard to watch for Busani as he shared immediately afterward with LIVE viewers across the world.

Sometimes nature can be harsh and difficult to understand. While we would prefer scenes like this to have happier endings, every animal has its role to play in the ‘circle of life’, even the crocodile.
