Great pics.. almost like the two were posing
However,
1. I think the Leopard was lucky the Croc was not in water.
2. THe article says "onlookers were amazed to see the leopard drag the crocodile from the water as the reptile fought back.", but all pics sho the duel on good ground.
3. This is amazing and a defnite first; but somehow I feel the croc was drugged for the photoshoot. I may be very (VERY) sarcastic, but somehow, felt like opining...

I remember having seen a national geographic or some other documentary where two leopards took out a crocodile which was in water. The filming was done in the dry season when water levels were a little low, and prey was hard to come by. So, I guess those leopards were pretty darn hungry. Dunno what got this leopards goat to go after a croc
.
But by the way this leopard is holding up the croc and not letting it touch the ground shows how smart the feline is. If the croc gets a footing, it can go into a death roll, something the leopard seems to be aware of. After some struggle the cold blooded croc wouldn't have much left anyway. True Hunter
