Lightning-fast crocodile snatches cheetah drinking from river

2021-08-25 00:00:00

(If you don't want to see the final seconds of a cheetah's existence, don't watch this video.)

Whenever I see a crocodile at a zoo, they appear sleepy and sluggish. "I could outrun it," I think.

But after watching how fast this crocodile moves when it sneaks up on a young cheetah sipping from a river, grabs it, and drags it under the water to drown it, I've gained more respect for the spry reptile. The cheetah had no time to react.
