This video was taken this morning at one of the crossing points on the Mara River.

Over the last few days the zebra have slowly been making there way out of the Mara Triangle and up North towards the Loita Plains.

This was a group of twenty individuals who couldn't all decide to cross the river, which meant that some kept going back and forth.

One fully grown male zebra wasn't so lucky and over thirty crocodiles enjoyed him for a feast.

From alive to nothing left took just over nine minutes - we've edited it to 1m56s.

At 18s and 22s it is possible to hear the facial bones being crushed.

At 36s one of the larger crocs starts a death roll to rip the head off the zebra.

    It was quite a relaxed feasting but it turned my stomach.

    Fascinating video. Nature is beautiful, but can be brutal.
