About #224: in french we would say "this croc had the eyes bigger than its belly", but it bites off more than it can chew...

That being said, I'm not sure there is any more indescrimanate killer in Africa than the Croc. It attacks first and worries about the consequences afterwards. If you look at the other pics and the descriptions in the link that I've shared, it seems like the bull just shrugged the croc off after got bitten on the trunk lol.  
One of the Best wildife video I've ever saw. This video really worth 47 Millions viewes. just speechless.
The quickest way to distinguish alligators from crocodiles is by looking at the jawline, in the alligators the teeth in the lower jaw fit into sockets in the upper jaw so when the jaws are closed only the teeth in the upper jaw are visible. In Crocodilyds the teeth of the lower jaw fit in grooves on the outside of the upper jaw, si both upper and lower teeth are visible when the mouth is closed (Biology and Evolution of Crocodylians Gordon Grigg and David Kirshner)

Here one interesting and new case from Australia, I put it in here too even though I just shared this in python thread. So rare to see this kind of incident. Olive python kills and eats crocodile, it really needs to stretch jaws to do that. Many good photos in article.

The 30cm scale (upper right, yellow) and 100cm scale (white, to the left of snout) allow relatively accurate estimates of the sizes of creche participants, adults, and hatchlings.
