Storks are glorious fishers and use their lengthy beaks to grab up their prey.
However every so often they lose their victims – or a minimum of elements of them.
This is strictly what occurred when this yellow-billed stork was feasting on its fish and misplaced a chunk – just for a crocodile to scoop it up!

Safari information Mark Sheridan Johnson witnessed the incident and shared it with LatestSightings.com.
“I observed the stork was taking part in with one thing within the water, it turned out to be the head of a tiger fish.
“For a second it looked as though the stork had been caught up in the action – with its head dangerously close to the beast’s jaws. The crocodile nearly nipped the bird, which made it seem like it had the stork’s head in its jaws!”
One would suppose these birds would keep away from these sly predators since they might simply develop into a meal themselves, however truly, crocodiles support these birds.
As crocodiles transfer by way of the water and disturb fish they swim away, permitting the storks to see after which catch these fish extra simply.
This is why it’s pretty frequent to see storks lurking close to crocodiles in shallow waters.
