Një fotograf gjerman, kapi këto momente të një beteje të rallë mes dy krokodilëve, ne Zimbabwe.

Njëri prej krokodilëve, ai më i madh, hëngri rivalin më të vogël.

German wildlife photographer Jens Cullman captured the stunning images beside a waterhole at Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe

As Cullman sat by the edge of the water with his camera, the serenity was broken by a large crocodile brutally killing a younger rival

The larger beast grabbed its younger rival by its tail, giving its victim no chance to fight back as it slammed it into the water

Another young crocodile looked on from the edge of the waterhole while the one-sided battle continued 

Despite the nearby violent scenes and the death struggle only a few feet away, dozens of wading birds stood impassively 

Almost inevitably, when the large crocodile resurfaced, its younger rival was no longer moving and was presumably already dead 

The younger crocodile lost a section of its tail during the uncompromising battle which led to its untimely demise 

The larger crocodile shook its victim a few more times to ensure that it was finally dead before relaxing and preparing for lunch 

Crocodiles can easily spend 15 minutes underwater while in some situations they are able to hold their breath for up to two hours 

Although after killing its prey, this crocodile swam off to a quiet section of the waterhole before devouring his fresh meal

Cullman said he was surprised to see the cannibal crocodile attack and kill his younger rival in such a brutally efficient manner
