    Pictured: Cape buffalo drinking at night
    These stunning images offer a rare glimpse into the night-time activities of wild animals as they visit a watering hole in the hours of darkness.

    Zebras, wildebeests, and cape buffaloes create stunning reflections on the surface of the water as they lower their heads to take a drink.

    A powerful wildebeest visits the pool to take a drink while two others linger in the background - perfectly symmetrical to each other.

    In another breathtaking photograph, four illuminated zebras stand in a precise line with their heads bowed down towards their reflections.

    The elephants at the waterhole, and all is calm, as the baby wallows in the cooling mud., This is the shocking moment a crocodile grabbed the trunk of a baby elephant, hoping to get a hefty lunch.
    The image was captured by amateur photographer Johan Opperman, who was photographing a herd of elephants crossing a swamp.
    Amazing Moment a Crocodile Grabs Baby Elephant's Trunk, Kruger National Park, South Africa
    This baby elephant was given a huge shock when a camouflaged crocodile gave a tug on its trunk while it went for a drink.

    The extraordinary scene was captured by amateur photographer Johan Opperman while taking pictures of a family of African Bush elephants grazing by a water hole and cooling down.

    Under the watchful eye of its family, the young elephant headed to the edge of the waterhole to grab itself a drink.

    However, in what has been described by experts as very rare behaviour, a crocodile pounced on the youngster, hoping for a kill by locking its jaws around its trunk.

    Hearing the baby's distress calls, the herd of elephants, which are known for being very protective of their young, immediately came to its rescue, scaring off the croc by trumpeting and stamping around.

    After the attack the herd stayed with the youngster.

    When the baby had been tended to and the herd decided all was well, they crossed the dam together, just metres from where the crocodile had been hiding.

    The scene was reminiscent of the famous Rudyard Kipling tale, 'The Elephant's Child', which tells the story of how the elephant got a long trunk when it was pulled on by a crocodile.

    Johan, from Pretoria, in South Africa, captured the incredible moment while on a day trip in the country's Kruger National Park.

  • Elephant Society is 'Still Disrupted'

    Elephant Society is 'Still Disrupted'
    African elephants' decision-making abilities are left impaired by culling operations that ended decades ago, University of Sussex research suggests.

    A study found that elephant herds that lost adults to culls during the 1970s and 1980s were less able to respond appropriately to other elephant calls.

    Lead researcher Prof Karen McComb said the animals' "social understanding" had been impaired by the loss of adults.

    The results are published in the journal Frontiers in Zoology. (FOTO: DUKAS/LFI/Photoshot)
