THESE dramatic photos show two crocodiles locked in a death-defying battle.
Two crocodiles fight to the death in these dramatic images
The action-packed scene shows the moment a young croc is tossed around like a rag doll by an older, cannibalistic crocodile – and the poor little reptile was no match for his rival.
The older croc showed him who was boss, as he snapped his jaw down on the young croc and flailed it in a savage death spin.
After the fatal clash, photos show surrounding birds hungrily eyeing up the lifeless reptile, clenched in the jaw of the victorious croc.
The incredible scene was captured on camera by German wildlife photographer Jens Cullman at a waterhole at Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe, Africa.
Jens said: “There were lots of loud bangs as the dead croc repeatedly hit the water surface.
“Lots of birds around the waterhole were hanging around, hoping to get a piece of him.

“It was a very rare sighting – I’ve never heard of a cannibal croc before!”
