Spotting the enemy, the antelope promptly jumped backwards. It then immediately rotates 180 degrees to escape. Missing the bait, the crocodile slowly retreated back to the lake, continuing to lie down and wait for the next opportunity.

The victim will either drown in the water, or be ripped apart under the sharp teeth of the crocodiles. There are no exact statistics on the number of people who die each year due to this animal. However, according to sound judgments, this number can reach hundreds of people per year.
