Crocodiles are monstrous reptiles and it is almost impossible to escape from their deadly jaws. With their sharp teeth and powerful jaws, they grab and hold onto their prey with ease. Once a croc grips its prey in its powerful jaws, it rips it apart with its sharp teeth. These formidable predators exert a bite force of up to 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi), which is stronger than any other animal on Earth.
Undoubtedly, creatures with luck can only escape from the deadly jaws of the monstrous reptiles. Recently, a video surfaced on the internet that shows a zebra's miraculous escape from a bask of crocodiles. Well, the interesting part of the viral video is that the zebra fights back and bites a few crocodiles to save itself.
In the video, the zebra is seen surrounded by multiple crocodiles in the middle of a water resource. One of the monsters also is seen trying to bite the zebra. However, the zebra tactically defends itself from the bite. Meanwhile, another crocodile is seen holding from its back to which the zebra jumps and kicks the predator with its hind legs. Suddenly, a third crocodile comes closer and bites it while the first reptile takes the chance to hunt it down.
Surprisingly, the zebra bites the first crocodile and holds it until it loosens its jaws. Meanwhile, other crocodiles can be seen approaching the zebra. However, the zebra turns back while holding the crocodile in its jaws, and suddenly jumps. Before the crocodiles could grab the prey, it escaped from them. The zebra unstoppably swims towards the shore. On the other hand, a huge hippopotamus can be seen in the water among the crocodiles.
Even though some other crocodiles follow it and try to grab it, the smart zebra averts all the attacks and walks to the shore.
