Animal Viral Video: One of the most surprising encounters can be called one that is captured on video, where a Chicken outmaneuvers several Crocodiles in a standoff that could have easily turned tragic. Shared on Twitter by Garbage Fly, a video shows a chicken in quite a dangerous situation when it seems to be surrounded by eager crocodiles.
Crocodiles’ Strategic Approach
In this video, on the other hand, the Crocodiles conceive a plan to take hold of the Chicken but miss because the bird was smart enough to dodge the approaches. Showing unexpected agility, the Chicken hops across the backs of the Crocodiles and leaves them scrambling and tripping over one another in an effort to catch up. This scene is almost comic, as the different efforts of the Crocodiles are foiled one by one in catching the Chicken.
Size, habitat, behavior, and evolutionary history of the crocodiles and chickens differ so greatly, yet share these two vastly different creatures bond in some occasionally surprising ways. The large predators with powerful jaws and excellent swimming abilities belong at the very top of their food chain in fresh water rivers, lakes, and estuaries, parlaying throughout the genial regions of the globe. They are ancient reptiles, characterized by lineages reaching multimillions of years ago, back to the time of the dinosaurs, they have armorplating on their bodies, powerful tails, and an ability to remain underwater for so long while hunting.
Resilience and Presence of Mind
The chicken surprisingly escapes predators and further gets to a danger-free zone to the surprise of all viewers. An encounter so unlikely reminds one of the very unpredictable nature and the surprising ways in which animals can get out of danger zones.
It’s the type of video that does rounds on the internet because of its unusual nature and entertaining values attached to interspecies interaction. The chicken, caught off guard, reveals resilience and great presence of mind in the face of danger.
