Description:
Dermot Kavanagh, from London, was visiting Kruger National Park, South Africa, on April 11 when he spotted the six dogs enjoying a drink.<br/><br/>Dramatic footage shows a crocodile suddenly spring forward with its jaws gnashing at the nearest wild dog causing them all to jump backwards.<br/><br/>Surprisingly the dogs continued to goad the massive reptile leading the crocodile to launch itself forward for a second time eventually causing the nuisances to leave.<br/><br/>Dermot said: “We have never seen a crocodile launch out of the water like that before, let alone at wild dogs. It was definitely a once in a lifetime sighting.<br/><br/>“Usually wild dog sightings are very quick and they disappear into the bush as quick as you saw them. We were with these guys for around an hour in total.<br/><br/>“My wife and I just looked at each in disbelief, knowing we had seen something special.<br/><br/>“The altercation with the crocodile went on for around five minutes. It started with the wild dogs drinking, the crocodile then approached before launching out of the water.<br/><br/>“We thought the wild dogs would run away but then they started goading the croc, which in turn launched again.<br/><br/>“Eventually the dogs saw sense and carried on with their hunt. We followed them for another 5kilometres or so before they chased some impala into the bush.”
