This incredible scene unfolds when 3 hungry birds and a crocodile fight over 1 fish! Who will get away with this nutrient-rich prize? This sighting played out in Kruger National Park.

Nombekana’s safari guide – Rodney was fortunate to witness and share this moment with guests and tells LatestSightings.com the story:

“We decided to park near a waterhole to watch animals as they come to drink. I had already had an amazing day with my client, after many days of incredible sightings in the park.

“I decided to visit one of my favorite spots in the park – not expecting anything radical really. Suddenly a goliath heron caught a fish and what happened next was nothing short of incredible. Thankfully, I decided to record the whole time.”

“Before we knew it, a fish eagle challenged the heron for the fish. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. While these 2 birds argued about who’s getting the food, a saddle-billed stork joined the scene and took off with the fish.”

“While trying to soften and break down from the fish, 2 crocodiles moved closer to the stork – but it noticed and managed to get away with its stolen meal.”

Animals truly are incredible and never cease to amaze and surprise us. When you least expect it – something extraordinary happens. Mother Nature really always has something up her sleeve!
