Crocodile Kills Dogs

The Wild Dogs are already licking their lips at the prospect of warthog, served extremely rare. But the crocodile in the YouTube video seems almost casual to the point of disinterest.
Both sets of hunters have an enviable strike rate in this situation, even though crocodiles eat very rarely and Wild Dogs tend to hunt alone or in pairs
The crocodile finally makes its move, lunging forward with its tail and hind legs, jaws open, to grab the warthog
The disappointed Wild Dogs can only look on as the crocodile pulls the warthog down with its powerful jaws and drags the prey off for lunch. The 'dish of the day' is off guys

 The carnivorous canines were feasting on an impala carcass but were secretly being watched by a predator from the water. Suddenly, the crocodile burst from the Olifants River, South Africa, and snatched the carcass from the hounds. The video was taken by Swiss photographer Markus Niederer in August.
