Cannibal crocodile tears smaller rival to pieces

This is the brutal moment a cannibal crocodile killed a smaller rival in a South African river before ripping it open and feasting on its head.
The grizzly images show the large animal capturing the smaller crocodile by the neck and violently lashing it around.
And after being satisfied it has died, the bigger crocodile tears off its rival's head before chewing down on its flesh.
The jaw-dropping moment was snapped by amateur photographer Rob Bowie from Cape Town, who was visiting the Letaba river.
He said: 'It was an unbelievable moment.
'It took a good few minutes with the big croc doing its roll a couple of times but we couldn't make out what it had in its jaws.
'Finally we saw it had attacked another croc with this stunning show of raw power - throwing its prey violently through the air.'
Mr Bowie was left dumbfounded by the crocodile's brutal attack after setting up his equipment to photograph an elephant playing in the river.
He then quickly turned his camera to shoot the incredible crocodile attack.
e added: 'There we were, watching an elephant knee deep in the Letaba river, having a spash and enjoying the water as elephants love to do when we noticed a commotion in the water.
'A very large croc along with several others had clearly caught something although we hadn't seen any action.
'It took us a while to realise what was going on but when we did it was amazing - I remember us all shouting "it's another croc!"'
