When a cunning crocodile spotted a baby elephant drinking water by the riverbank, it quietly swam over, its eyes fixed on its target. Its intention was clear: to attack the vulnerable baby elephant. But what the crocodile did not expect was the mother elephant’s vigilance. In just a split second, the mother elephant detected the danger. With a powerful move, she used her large trunk and head to push the baby elephant away from the danger zone. Not stopping there, she became fierce, charging at the 3-meter-long crocodile with all her strength. The elephant’s continuous, powerful stomps, each time she lowered her trunk like a hammer, left the crocodile unable to react. Under the terrible pressure from the nearly 3-ton animal, the crocodile gradually became a pile of motionless flesh.

The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the largest land creature, with adults reaching up to 6 tons and a height of over 3 meters. They have a lifespan of 60 to 70 years in the wild. Females and their calves usually live in herds, while males prefer to stay separate from the herd.
