Wildebeest narrowly escapes Crocodile on the Mara River!

HerdTracker update 21 Jul 2024 by Matt Yardley

This sighting was near Mithi Moja in Kenya. Watch how this wildebeest narrowly escapes this crocodile attack as it manages to cross the river and live another day. This wildebeest is much more lucky than the many other wildebeest who didn’t manage to make such a swift escape! Interested in our Great Wildebeest Migration newsletter? Sign up now!

This amazing video was taken by Matt Yardley on the 21st of July 2024.
