The fact half the face was ripped off that Zebra and it was still gathering all it's strength to try and make it out. Fucking crazy shit. Animals are crazy when stuff like this happens their brain doesn't say anything but "survive" even if it means going through the most brutal torture ever.

There have been many comments suggesting a bridge be built for the zebras to cross the river I understand your sympathy for the zebra. However, the other side of the river is the country of Tanzania. So, it would have to be an international bridge. Also, the Masai Mara wildlife park is trying to stay as natural as possible without creating man-made structures such as bridges. In addition, there are many other rivers the zebras must cross to get to their food source. Should there be bridges built everywhere for the zebras to use? Kenya is a 3rd world county with many other issues that should take priority over building bridges for zebras. Crocodiles can lay and wait on bridges too. Also, if the crocodiles all starve and die it will throw off the balance of nature. I know people believe zebras are cute and most people don't find crocodiles to be beautiful. That doesn't mean that crocodiles are evil and zebras are good. Thank you for watching

I find crocodiles and alligators fascinating and they are definitely an animal you want to respect on keep your distance.

Sorry the video was so shaky. I am not a professional photographer. I basically just pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and started recording. But it does make the footage even more amazing that it got so many millions of views. National Geographic would love to get such video. I'm sure they carry around tens of thousands of dollars of equipment. I did not have an expensive camera like large professional productions use. There was also a lot going on during the filming. The wind was blowing, and we had been waiting out in the sun for many, many hours. I was kind of exhausted and sort of balancing on the top of the truck. There was nowhere to put a camera stand. Every breath I took shook the phone. At times I was holding my breath for long periods trying not to move the phone/camera. I actually could not even see what I was shooting at because of the sun. I was just recording blindly in the direction of the action. Only afterwards when I was looking closely at the video did I clearly see the entire animal attack.

Because this animal is stupid. It is obvious that even the dumbest person would never find himself in such a situation, and if a person found himself in such a situation, he would give up, not because the person is weak, but because the person is smart enough to make the decision to die. Humans would sacrifice even more lives if necessary to take revenge; most animals are incapable of this, and are even incapable of accepting their own death.

This video is a realistic portrayal of nature. No added fancy music, no deathly strike in every second of the video. That makes this a good video. That said, those poor zebra's really suffer a lot before they die, so this is not a video for soft hearted people.

Zebra social structures are not like other horses’, most of which have hierarchical family structures (with the most experienced stallion and mare leading the herd). Most Zebra species have a loose herd structure that’s only together because of safety in numbers, and not necessarily because of social bonds. Zebras are also unpredictable and more aggressive than feral horses or horse species that were domesticated. It’s theorized that such behavior developed due to the hunting of zebras by early humans, creating a sort of instinctual fear.

There is a big poaching problem in Africa. The non-interference policy protects the animals from poachers. Masai Mara does not permit anyone to interfere with the wild animals in the National Reserve. Also, it was a far distance. It only appears closer with my cameras zoom lens. First of all, I wasn't about to jump in the water that would certainly be my death. Secondly, I don't I know if I could even throw a rock that far and if I could throw a rock that far I would probably miss and hit a zebra instead of a crocodile. Also, Masai Mara does not permit anyone to interfere with the wild animals in the National Reserve. In addition, my guide would not permit me to throw rocks at the animals.

We often talk of man's "bestial" cruelty, but this is terribly unjust and insulting to beasts: a wild animal can never be as cruel as man, as artistic, as refined in his cruelty. The crocodile mauls and tears its prey because that is all it knows. It would never enter its head to leave people all night nailed by their ears, even if it could do it. There were people , incidentally, that took a sadistic pleasure in torturing children, starting with cutting them out of their mothers' wombs with a dagger, and going so far as to throw babes-in-arms into the air and impale them on the points of their bayonets before their mothers' very eyes. Doing it before the mothers' eyes was what gave it particular piquancy. But here is one example that I find quite fascinating. Picture the scene: an infant in the arms of its trembling mother, surrounded by the several enemy soldiers. They have thought up an amusing game: they caress the child, laugh to make it laugh; they succeed, the child laughs. At just that moment one of them aims his pistol at the child, six inches from its face. The child chuckles gleefully, holds out its little hands to grab the pistol, and suddenly the evil joker discharges the pistol full in its face and blows its little head to pieces... Now tell me if any animal would be as artistically as cruel…

Fascinating, terrifying, and sad all in one. Poor buddy. He was a bad dude though and kept fighting. I’m glad they took him though as it would have been awful for him/her to survive for a while with no face. Would’ve starved to death or been infected and died a horrible slow death. I pray that these animals go into shock in such instances and don’t feel a thing. 🙏

Depends on the zebra species. Many species follow loose herd structures, which are only together because of safety in numbers, numbers being a key word here. To compare and contrast, while elephant herds will respond to dangers by banding together to protect themselves and their young, zebras will just run away as a whole, but not actually caring for each others’ safety. To put it into human analogy, elephants are when a dangerous person threatens a group of friends, they will try to fight or at least ensure each others’ safety. Zebras are when someone makes a threat and a crowd mindlessly rushes to the exits, fleeing altogether, but putting themselves first and not caring for the people that get trampled or attacked. Of course, the analogy is imperfect since human nature is different, but it should show the contrast quite well.

Thank you. Your comment made my day.

Thank you so much for your all your questions. There have been many comments suggesting a bridge be built for the zebras to cross the river I understand your sympathy for the zebra. However, the other side of the river is the country of Tanzania. So, it would have to be an international bridge. Also, the Masai Mara wildlife park is trying to stay as natural as possible without creating man-made structures such as bridges. In addition, there are many other rivers the zebras must cross to get to their food source. Should there be bridges built everywhere for the zebras to use? Kenya is a 3rd world county with many other issues that should take priority over building bridges for zebras. Crocodiles can lay and wait on bridges too. Also, if the crocodiles all starve and die it will throw off the balance of nature. I know people believe zebras are cute and most people don't find crocodiles to be beautiful. That doesn't mean that crocodiles are evil and zebras are good. Thank you for watching .

The zebras can not tell the difference between the rocks and the crocodiles. Those stones in the water look just like crocodiles. The crocodiles are using this to their advantage.

Fun Fact: A group of zebras can be called a “Dazzle”. This name comes from the dazzling motion effect of a group of running zebras. Some zoologists think zebras use their stripes as camouflage when the heard is in a big group to confuse predators. This makes it more difficult to single out individual zebras to attack. I like that they are called a Dazzle. They are dazzling!

To clarify the purpose of the crocodile's "Death roll": Crocodiles do have extremely powerful jaws that clamp tight on their prey, but they do not have the cutting teeth that we have in the front upper and lower jaws of our mouths. In order to pull a chunk of meat off of their prey, a crocodile twists or rolls its body to tear a piece loose. Animals have had to learn ways to pull apart their prey. This is also why, if you own a dog, that dog will bring its toy to you in its mouth and allow you to pull on that toy while the dog pulls voraciously. Dogs in the wild attack their prey in packs and several of them will pull at a chunk of flesh to tear it into smaller pieces that the dogs can actually eat. The crocodiles' death roll is not to drown their prey. Crocodiles do not wait until their prey is dead to start eating its flesh. Class dismissed.

It all depends. There are situations where the death roll is performed in order to drown the prey and there are also situations where it is performed to pull out a chunk of flesh. Crocs mostly eat their prey when they are already dead. However, there are situations where they may start eating when the prey is still alive. Although it's rare, it still happens from time to time. In short It all depends.

@@B_Brandon Sorry, but you are giving the crocodiles too much credit. yes, they do pull their prey out to the deeper waters, where it is harder for the prey to get away, but the sole purpose of the "death rolls" is to tear away pieces of flesh. Crocs simply do not have the ability to bite off pieces of food the way we do. Spinning their bodies while latching onto a bite of flesh is the only way crocs can tear off a chunk of meat that can be swallowed. Crocs start eating as soon as it is clear that their prey will not escape. They do not care if their prey is alive or dead. Crocs are fairly simple. Why waste any more time than is needed to start feeding? That is Nature.
