Leopard savaging a crocodile.... caught on camera.
The astonishing spectacle of a leopard savaging a crocodile has been captured for the first time on camera.
A series of incredible pictures taken at a South African game reserve document the first known time that a leopard has taken on and defeated one of the fearsome reptiles.
The photographs were taken by Hal Brindley, an American wildlife photographer, who was supposed to be taking pictures of hippos from his car in the Kruger National Park.
The giant cat raced out of cover provided by scrub and bushes to surprise the crocodile, which was swimming nearby.
A terrible and bloody struggle ensued. Eventually, onlookers were amazed to see the leopard drag the crocodile from the water as the reptile fought back.

With the crocodile snapping its powerful jaws furiously, the two animals somersaulted and grappled. Despite the crocodile ' s huge weight and strength, the leopard had the upper hand catching its prey by the throat.
Eventually the big cat was able to sit on top of the reptile and suffocate it.
In the past, there have been reports of crocodiles killing leopards, but this is believed to the first time that the reverse scenario has been observed.

Mr Brindley said: ' I asked many rangers in South Africa if they had ever heard of anything like this and they all said no
It just doesn ' t make sense. The meat you get out of a crocodile is just not worth the risk it takes a predator to acquire. The whole scene happened in the course of about 5 minutes. Then the leopard was gone.
'I drove away, elated in disbelief. It may have been the most amazing thing I ' ve ever seen.'
Ellie Rose, a reptile keeper at London Zoo, said: 'Normally, crocodiles are well able to defend themselves against attack. I can ' t think of any examples of this happening before.'

Airports
An airport is a location where aircraft such as fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and blimps take off and land. Aircraft may be stored or maintained at an airport. An airport consists of at least one surface such as a runway, a helipad, or water for takeoffs and landings, and often includes buildings such as hangars and terminal buildings.
Larger airports may have fixed base operator services, seaplane docks and ramps, air traffic control, passenger facilities such as restaurants and lounges, and emergency services. A military airport is known as an airbase or air station. The terms airfield, airstrip, and aerodrome may also be used to refer to airports, and the terms heliport, seaplane base, and STOLport refer to airports dedicated exclusively to helicopters, seaplanes, or short takeoff and landing aircraft. In some jurisdictions, the term airport is used where the facility is licensed as such by the relevant government organization. Elsewhere the distinction is one of general appearance. Other jurisdictions define an airport by its having the customs offices etc expected of a port, though the more general term is airport of entry.

Beautiful Quotes
Letting go does not mean giving up…
but accepting that…
there are things that cannot be.
When you get to the end of your rope…
tie a knot and hold on.
When you build bridges… you can keep crossing them.
Silence is golden
when you can't think of a good answer.
If your success is not on your own terms…
if it looks good to the world…
but does not feel good in your heart…
it is not success at all.
Enjoy the little things…
for one day you may look back and realize
they were the big things.
When love comes your way…
savor every moment
But don't get to caught up so you get trampled on.
You only meet a 'once in a lifetime
friend'...once in a lifetime.
Forgiveness…
is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel
that has crushed it.
The moment may be temporary…
but the memory is… forever.
Love…
is where your heart is..
