We were taking the boat to Labuk village and were almost there when we saw a crocodile dragging another crocodile in the water. As we approached it tried to drag the other croc underwater but failed and just left it. It might have been shot first, it was hard to tell because the piece where the wound might have been was ripped off by the other croc. As I was photographing it Shaka fish (Karo name for Catfish) that were about a meter long started eating the bottom of the dead croc... all the movement you see in the water is the shaka fish tugging off pieces of it from the bottom. After I was done photographing the Karo tribe guys we had with us pulled it up to look at it and try to figure out what happened to it.
