WATCH: An elephant and a crocodile get into an altercation...
"When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life," Mufasa said in 'The Lion King'.
We have to admit that when it comes to the wild, there are things that we may not ever get used to, but the thing is, it is a fact of life to eat or be eaten in the wild.
When we think about the wild, and the big five, there is an immediate connection to the Disney production, 'The Lion King'. We associate the world of the bushveld as a fair place where each animal knows its bounds and is governed by the law of the Circle of Life.
Of course, the reason why we won't fully grasp the concept is because we are not built to live in the wild. So when we saw this video, there was a part of us that associated this 'natural' occurrence as brutal or violent.
But that is far from it, it is part of being in the bush. The animal kingdom is vast and varied in its beauty and we loved the way Mufasa explained the Circle of Life to little Simba.
""When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." Mufasa, 'The Lion King'.

WATCH the video below (courtesy of YouTube):
The above video was captured by a tourist on safari, who filmed the moment that the crocodile was trampled to death by a mother elephant after it stalked her calf at a river in Zambia.
In the video, the elephant violently attacks the crocodile with her trunk and head, before trampling the crocodile in the shallow river as a group of tourists watch.
"The rare sighting was captured by Hans Henrik Haahr and has been shared by Latest Sightings, aYouTube channel that shares wildlife videos recorded across Africa. Elephants are generally peaceful and extremely caring animals; however, females can become very aggressive when protecting a young calf," Latest Sightings.
