Cat Fights Off a Crocodile at a Zoo in India

(Before It's News)

Cats are often noted for their curiosity, but not necessarily their courage. A cat in India showed a lot of both when she fought off a hungry crocodile and walked away unscathed, according to the Daily Mail U.K.

The plucky cat somehow wandered into the croc enclosure at a zoo in Jaipur, India, and found her way to the edge of the water. As one of the crocodiles glided toward her, the cat seemed oblivious to the fact that she might be staring death in the face.

“When the crocodile came up in the water, we felt sure we were witnessing the last minutes of her life,” said Vishal Chaudhary, whose wife, Manu, shot video of the incident. Other zoo-goers tried in vain to shout the cat away from the edge of the pond.

Only when the crocodile was nearly on top of the cat did she finally notice it. For a few moments, the onlookers were relieved, assuming the cat would flee from the danger. But she did them one better by standing up for herself and scaring the croc away.

She’s fighting, oh wow, that’s superb. Look at it,” the Chaudharys can be heard saying in their video as the cat hisses at the crocodile and swats at it twice with her claws. The cat delivered a couple of scratches to her foe’s snout, and the crocodile retreated back into the water without the cat giving up an inch of ground.

We couldn’t believe it when the cat daringly warned the crocodile and then fearlessly slapped it twice,” Vishal Chaudhary said later. Everyone who witnessed what happened must have been impressed, but the cat trotted away from the encounter like it was nothing. Because if there’s one thing cats are known for besides curiosity, it’s playing it cool.
