A heron was chased by the mother crocodile for stealing this mother's crocodile's child. The incident at the wildlife sanctuary in Polk County in Florida (USA) was recorded by female photographer Claudia Kuenkel.
Due to being too hungry, a heron bird took a dose of a crocodile nest and caught a baby crocodile for lunch.While her aunt prepares to put her baby crocodile in her mouth, the mother crocodile appears and chases her heron . Unexpectedly attacked, the heron could not fly but could only run on the ground.
The heron only ran for a short time before having to release the baby crocodile to the ground to escape the aggression of the mother crocodile. This rare moment was recorded by female photographer Claudia Kuenkel.
' At first I saw a heron standing on the grass but didn't see anything special so I turned away. But then, a mother crocodile appeared and began chasing her heron, "Claudia Kuenkel recounted." Actually, I just realized the heron sucked on the baby crocodile when I reviewed the photos. At that time, I understood why the mother crocodile attacked her heron. Because, normally very rarely, her aunt is attacked by crocodiles . "
