4 Wild dog (one alpha male, 3 yearling cubs 2 x f, 1 x m) chased a female bush buck in to a shallow pool on the Chongwe River. A small crocodile swam up and took a bite and did a death roll. The bushbuck then dragged the croc out towards the Wild Dog who then dragged it up the bank with the croc still attached. It took them a while to kill the bushbuck but by then the croc gave up
