The leopard grapples with crocodiles before killing opponents in a South African national park. This is the first evidence that newspapers can defeat one of the planet's most aggressive reptiles.
Hal Brindley, an American natural photographer, drove into Kruger National Park (South Africa) to take photos of the rhino. Suddenly he saw the leopard jump out of the bush. He dashed toward the swamp, where the crocodile was rising to the surface. The leopard ran so fast that the crocodile could not react.
A terrible struggle took place.
Finally, before the startling surprise of Brindley, the leopard pulled the crocodile ashore even though its opponent still resisted.
With very strong and sharp teeth, alligators find ways to snag the leopard's body.
The leopard tries to avoid the big crocodile's tail.
They rolled around many times on the ground.
Although the crocodile is bigger and stronger, the leopard still takes the initiative because it has bitten it on the opponent's neck.
Finally, the leopard sat on the crocodile's body and clenched his teeth until his opponent suffocated.
The fight took place in about 5 minutes. Then the leopard left.
Many people have seen crocodiles kill newspapers before. So animal experts believe this is the first time the paradox has happened.
Brindley said: 'I asked many forest guards in South Africa. They said they had never seen the crocodile killing newspaper. Theoretically it faces many risks when hunting that creepy reptile '.
Ellie Rose, a crocodile expert at London Zoo, said: 'Usually crocodiles are fully capable of defending against the onslaught of terrestrial animals. So I never thought they would lose their lives because of the newspaper. '
