Every year, the herds of zebras and antelopes face hungry crocodiles as they cross the Mara River during their migration from Tanzania to Kenya. Most of them cross the river safely, but some of the ill-fated children lie down in the river and become a meal for dozens of crocodiles.

Those scenes were recorded through the lens of Italian photographer Paolo Torchio.

Crocodile is located on the shore waiting for victims across the river.

An impatient antelope across the river has become a good prey for alligators.

Despite the danger, zebras and antelopes continue to cross the river.

Seeing the danger, the zebras and the remaining antelopes tried to climb to the other bank

Trying in desperation
