The jaw-dropping encounter shows the croc craftily ambushing the terrified animal in the Lower Zambezi River in Zambia. The footage was captured by Lazarus Mceric Bobota, 37, a safari guide from Chirundu, Zambia, who filmed it in Lower Zambezi National Park. After this tense struggle, the buffalo manages to break free and escape, swimming over the bank and retreating back onto land. Mr Mceric Bobota said: 'The crocodile was hungry and wanted to kill the buffalo to have food. 'I would love more people to come to Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park to experience moments like this with us.'
