It was the last mistake he ever made. The beast’s defenses were no match for the maze of angry mammals, who proved their bite is every bit as lethal as his.

“I have absolutely no idea why, but the crocodile suddenly raced across the backs of the hippos. I think it might have panicked and thought it was a possible escape route. I couldn’t believe my eyes.”

The crocodile is defeated by a maze of angry hippos after trying to kill one of their young.

“There was no way for him to escape. A few seconds later his lifeless body slipped below the water and I didn’t see him again.”

One of these pictures was published in the November issue of BBC Wildlife Magazine.
