We’ve seen some wild wildlife scenes through the years, from two gators tussling to an epic battle between a mongoose and a snake.
But the video we’re about to show you tops them all. Heck, we’re guessing it even makes the people at National Geographic jealous.
Not surprisingly, it’s set in South Africa, where witnessing wildlife seems to be just as much a part of a round as pulling the flagstick. And it comes courtesy of one of Golf Digest’s 50 Best Teachers, Andrew Rice, who stumbled upon this incredible scene from the 18th hole at Skukuza Golf Club.
Seriously, this one has it all. A poor antelope, lions, hyenas, and a freaking crocodile. Have a look for yourself. You won’t be disappointed. Promise.
This is insane! Two lions had killed an impala on the final green @skukuzagolfclub while restaurant guests watched on. They were then chased off by hyenas and a crocodile! Not your regular golf course occurrence. Kruger National Park, South Africa.🇿🇦 pic.twitter.com/7pReME30LA

Insane is right, Andrew. That’s an amazing video. But what the heck happened to the lion being the King of the Jungle? Nobody wants to mess with that croc.
Anyway, good stuff. That is, unless you have a tee time today at Skukuza Golf Club. The maintenance staff there is going to have a heckuva time cleaning up that green.
