Amazing Photos

[Indiedog]

Nice work. I figured as much cuz didn't see the croc in the last photo. Danger everywhere in the wild!

If you look carefully at the last photo, the croc is still there and still has the trunk in its mouth. But the elephant has turned on the power and has dragged the croc out of the water. I guess it was a moment or two later when the croc decided to let go and move on to smaller menu options. (Some additional photos on line show the post-release; the only scary thing is that the baby trips on the croc after the release but everyone gets away.)

Danger everywhere in the wild!

Not to belabor the obvious, but that's why it's called 'the wild.'

There's often trouble at some of the watering holes i frequent, too

In case anyone is interested, I tracked down those elephant photos on-line and found that the elephant was able to shake off the croc.

I would think a careful backswing and nice solid stomp might open those jaws.

Yes.
Elephants have amazing stomping power.

Never get one upset.

Another Lake Tahoe sunset. Scenes like this are not uncommon.
