Spectacular jumping antelope escaping crocodile jaws
As the herd crosses the river in Masai National Park in Kenya during the annual migration, the wildebeest always face the danger of starving wild crocodiles.
A crocodile caught the wildebeest and snapped in its jaw. However, a quick-heeled animal hits a predator and makes a spectacular jump to ask the fang of the hungry giant.
Photographer Andrey Gudkov, 38, author of the photos, said alligators were really hungry because of the rain, which caused the migration of wildebeest to slow down compared to normal.
