Warthog Stuck Between Wild Dogs and Crocodile

Incredible footage captures the moment that a warthog found itself at a dead end: cornered by a pack of African wild dogs on one side, while a hungry crocodile lies in wait in the water just behind.

Crocodiles are opportunistic predators and will feast on any animal that approaches its territory.


Warning: this doesn’t end well for the warthog.

Watch the video below.

The crocodile’s powerful body and webbed feet allow for fast reaction times and quick movement; and, when paired with some of the most strongest jaws on earth (with a bite force of 3,700 pounds per square inch) make it the master of the ambush attack. It was nearly impossible for the unlucky warthog to make an escape, with its relatively small size in relation to the croc in addition to the hungry wild dogs waiting on the shore line.
