This is the moment a three meter long crocodile crawled out of a river and tried to steal prey from some very angry lionesses.
The audacious crocodile of the Nile – known by the locals as Fred – risked becoming prey by approaching two fearsome adult females feeding alongside their young.
But as we watch the video and images we see a brave Fred who was undeterred as he tried his luck to steal an impala that the lionesses had just killed..
Absorbed in their food, it took the big cats a few minutes to realize Fred was coming towards them and at one point he looks like he's going to succeed as he opens his massive jaws.
The Lion Cubs worked with caution to avoid become themselves in a tasty meal for the crocodile.
At the end it seems that Fred has managed to snatch a leg of the Impala.
