The crocodile was filmed resting in the sun, and from out of nowhere, three lions approached it and a battle ensued.
The video shows one lion approaching the crocodile, and after pouncing on it, two other lions in its pride joined in.
The lions and crocodile goes back and forth with each other, but the lions eventually back off and all four animals survive the ordeal. Throughout the fight, the crocodile prevents the lions from getting behind it, which the lions attempted to do a number of times.
Johan van Zyl, a wildlife expert, said that the crocodile was focused on making sure that it kept facing the lions. He continued to say that if the crocodile did turn his back on the lions, then the lions would have got the better of it and it would have been game-over. Zyl said that at the end of the video, you can notice the croc slowly retreating, while keeping its eyes on the lions. He added that this allowed the croc to keep an eye on them, but it also meant that he was ready to attack if need be.
