An elephant at the Liwonde National Park in Malawi was lucky to escape from a crocodile on April 10.

In the video, a crocodile jumps from the water and grabs an elephant’s trunk that was close by. The elephant immediately freaks out and tries to get away but the crocodile holds on. Thankfully, the elephant was eventually able to escape the crocodile’s grip. Credit: Alexander Makanga via Storyful
