Great Escape of a Brave Elephant.. These dramatic pictures show a clash of the titans as a protective elephant mum and a ferocious crocodile get in an epic tug of war in Zambia.  The female elephant and her baby were drinking from the Luangwa River in the South Luangwa National Park when they were attacked.  Leaping out of the murky waters a vicious crocodile bit down on the female's trunk. ATTACK: The crocodile sprung from the water as a baby elephant and its mum were having a drink from the river The baby elephant went to hide behind mum as the croc attacked The elephant was brought to her knees as the crocodile thrashed around   Brought down on her hind legs, the elephant didn't give up and turned away from the water, despite the predator clamped down on her trunk. Using incredible strength the female managed to shake off the croc after walking away from the water.  She survived the attack along with her baby, despite a second scare when the baby tripped as the pair ran away. The elephant managed to turn away from the water even the croc was trying to pull her in With her baby safely on the far side, the mum stepped away from the water with the croc still clamped on The mighty elephant dragged the crocodile all the way out of the water as she walked away Despite the unwanted appendage, she and her baby broke into a run FREE: Water gushes from the mum's trunk as she finally shakes the croc, with her baby momentarily tripping over the predator before the pair made off safely
