A baby elephant in Zimbabwe narrowly escaped a crocodile attack while drinking from a watering hole. The crocodile grabbed the calf’s trunk, but the young elephant fought back with help from its mother and the herd. After a tense struggle, the crocodile released its grip and retreated.
Photographer Francois Borman captured the dramatic moment near Mana Pools in the Zambezi Valley, amazed by the rare sight.
The herd gathered to protect the calf, with the baby elephant managing to escape unharmed.
Borman, who had been waiting for hours for the perfect shot, was thrilled by the rare footage. The photos showcase the resilience of the baby elephant and the protective power of the herd.
