Nile crocodile feasting on Topi carcass

=============================
We were waiting near a carrion of an adult Topi that was lying in a rivulet, expecting the big Leopard which had made the kill, to show up.
In an amazement sighting, a mid-sized Nile crocodile stealthily appeared from nowhere and started to gobble and gormandize on this Topi corpse ..
That is when the Leopard came out of the bramble and the bushes and chased away the crocodile, everything happening very expeditiously..
