The three lionesses killed the crocodile
A giant crocodile has met its death in the hands of three lionesses after it attacked one of the pride's cubs. The protective females confronted the crocodile as a fight ensued.
During the encounter the crocodile managed to bite one of the big cats but was soon killed by the pride,
Dailymail reported.
The shocking encounter took place in Botswana and was captured by Tony Goldman while on a safari trip to the Duba Plains, with his son. Tony, 58, a cardiologist, said: 'The lionesses had just killed a buffalo and suddenly a crocodile ventured about 100 yards out of the water towards them to snack on the meat.
'One of the smaller cubs was in the path of the crocodile and it started to advance towards the cub in a menacing fashion before trying to attack it.
'This resulted in an eruption from the three nearby lionesses who went for the croc in an organised fashion.
'I expected the croc to back off but it didn't and there was a tremendous fight with the croc biting one of the lionesses.
'There was a commotion and dust flying everywhere before the lionesses finally overpowered the invader..."
