Thanks to a live feed camera near Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, we have been able to identify the most confident crocodile on planet earth.
Footage of this crocodile was shared by the popular YouTube channel Latest Sightings which continues to outdo itself with over-the-top safari footage. The video is a collection of several clips from the same watering hole featuring the same herd of elephants and the same outrageously confident crocodile.
You truly have to respect the tenacity of this croc. It’s smaller than all of the elephants. The herd is rolling deep. Yet time after time it tries to take one down and fails.
My man Lyle here went after a herd of elephants not once, not twice, but a handful of times. I can see no reason to not assume this is Aaliya reincarnated with that ‘Try Again’ energy going strong since the year 2000.
That video has only been up for less than 48 hours and has already been viewed over 1.5 million times. I’m not alone in my complete and utter amazement at this crocodile for being unable to give up on its quest to take down an elephant. Equally as amazing, in my humble opinion, is the fact that the herd of elephants haven’t responded by stomping the croc into a pancake yet.
For those curious, the footage was filmed from one of the ‘Dam Cams’ operated by the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge in Zimbabwe. They first uploaded the clip to their own YouTube channel about two months ago but that video only has 1,500ish views.
