Ever wondered what win in a fight between a crocodile and elephant? Of course you have, that's why you clicked, isn't it?
The dramatic battle between a crocodile and a baby elephant (which is still massive) took place at Malawi's Liwonde National Park, and one quick-thinker whipped out his camera and filmed the whole thing so we can finally answer the centuries-old question.

In the clip, which was uploaded to YouTube by Alexander Makanga, a herd of elephants can be seen making its way to the water, before a huge crocodile jumps out and begins attacking one of the smaller creatures.

Using its powerful jaws to latch onto the elephant, the crocodile can be seen trying to drag it down to the water.

Offering little assistance to the elephant, or maybe just giving it enough room to do its thing, the rest of the herd can be seen backing off as the baby thrashes around, trying to throw the croc off and making a lot of noise while its at it.

It's at this point that I think the crocodile must be really reassessing its life choices. I mean, nice try, Mr Croc, but did you really think you would be able to pull an elephant to its watery grave? An elephant. A baby one is still fucking huge, how did he think he could ever win this? Even without a herd behind it, the smart money has to be on elephant every time, right?
Anyway, back to the ongoing attack, as the elephant drags the crocodile onto dry land, the rest of the herd got its act together and come over to rescue the little 'un. The herd, with the baby, all join in and start violently trampling the attacker.

Absolutely brutal.
