The astonishing footage in South Africa’s Kruger Wildlife Park was captured by Chasin Africa Safaris.
The wildebeest is shown being attacked on the banks of a river and getting its heads caught in the jaws of a massive Nile crocodile.
A second enormous reptile then swoops, biting its tail as the pair begin dragging it into the water in a bid to drown it.
But a group of hippos nearby decide to intervene and begin surrounding the wildebeest to prevent the crocodiles killing it.
Incredibly, the animal then manages to swim out of the water and on to the opposing riverbank with only a foot injury.
