Awesome video. As the woman on the video says, and I agree: OMG!

It's amazing how what was just a normal video of elephants drinking turns into an awesome animal encounter!

Does anybody know where this was filmed? I tried to figure it out from the comments on the Youtube URL, but it doesn't say.

I've seen Videos in the past where elephants have lost the tips of their trunks from croc attacks; not that the croc survived those encounters. They may have been left on the banks, stomped beyond recognition.

the Telegraph says it is in the Chobe National Park (Botswana): TravelComments.com Official Blog: Video: Crocodile attacks elephant's trunk!
