I'd seen that a couple days ago and it is pretty cool though I wish he caught the part of the leopard pulling the crocodile out of the water, that's what I'm most interested in.

One note of hyperbole in the linked story:


These are the incredible pictures which show the first ever leopard attack on a crocodile.


Hal Brindley snapped the amazing moment a leopard snatched a crocodile at a South African game reserve on the only occasion this behaviour has ever been documented worldwide.

The first sentence makes it sound like this was an unknown behavior. It wasn't. The second paragraph is more accurate in saying it was the first time documented (photographically). Hal Brindley is more clear about this on his Web site (http://www.halbrindley.com/photos/leopard-seq/01.html) with all 34 of the photos.

At first I wasn't too impressed since if the alligator is not in water I could probably take it in a fight. Going in the water after it is much more impressive.

To late.

It's the circle of life, so it's not to horrible.

If the croc killed the leopard I think I wouldn't have clicked.

Thanks though.

But she likes kitties. If it were a clown killing a croc, then maybe I'd warn her.
