Gorilla seen using club to save baby from crocodile in congo creek A wildlife photographer following a family of gorillas in the Republic of Congo captured an astonishing moment on camera. While recording the troop near a creek, a sudden yelp pierced the air. The alpha male instantly sprinted down the bank, where he found a baby gorilla caught in the jaws of a crocodile.

Grabbing a heavy branch, the alpha swung with explosive force, striking the reptile until it released the infant. The baby scrambled free as the crocodile slithered back into the water while the photographer snapped the once in a lifetime photo.
