“Visuals of a crocodile letting a deer go after realizing it is pregnant”
What FACTLY found
The video, filmed in 2017, shows a crocodile’s unsuccessful attempt to catch a male impala (not a deer) at Namibia’s Etosha National Park, dispelling any possibility of the impala being pregnant. As per the videographer, the crocodile probably released the impala because it was outside its natural habitat and unable to execute its deadly death roll on land
