A wildebeest showed its strong will and desire to live when it risked its life to fight against the attack and pursuit of a giant crocodile.
Jun Zuo, a civil engineer on a wildlife exploration trip in Kenya, captured the dramatic scene of wildebeest fighting for their survival on the banks of the Mara River.
Without any help from its fellow creatures, unable to ask for help from anyone, the wildebeest still persevered, resisting the crocodile’s attacks, while trudging slowly towards the shore.
When other antelopes saw their fellow animals being attacked and injured on their backs, they still did not stop. They trudged across the river and did not look in the direction of the crocodile hunt. It seems that in every river crossing there must be a certain sacrifice and they coldly accept that sacrifice.
At this time, the wildebeest, with extraordinary efforts, rushed close to the shore. Seeing a way to live in a place of death, it frantically exerted its strength, determined to escape the clutches of the death crocodile.
As if seeing the wildebeest’s strong desire to live, luck was on its side. The giant crocodile missed in its final attack, letting the wildebeest slip away.
When he reached the shore, the wildebeest was still in extreme pain with a torn, bleeding wound on his back. However, the mortal danger had passed, and the wildebeest narrowly escaped death thanks to his rare courage.
