baby elephant was lucky to escape from the crocodile after it grabbed the elephant’s trunk

It appears to be a superb depiction of the elephant’s trunk origin narrative.
S.adly, this was not a scene from Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories, but a bitter reality for this youngster.

The baby elephant went to the side of a waterhole to drink under the watch of his family.

The newborn elephant digs his feet into the mud as he tries to get his stretched trunk out from the crocodile’s jaws.

Cooling off: T.here w.as no w.arning of the impending d.anger when the herd of elephants congregated at a watering hole to enjoy a drink

Unfortun.ately, a h.ungry c.rocodile used the leafy pond as cover, clamping its jaws on the end of its astonished v.ictim’s trunk and starting a tug-of-war.
