Terrapin can't take a hint

Fatty, the resident juvenile Nile crocodile at Pete's Pond in Botswana, has just finished eating his breakfast - a guineafowl. A terripin hoping for some leftovers keeps poking around Fatty's mouth. Fatty repeatedly (and patiently!) pushes the terrapin away until his patience is exhausted and he finally picks up the terrapin in his mouth and dumps him into the water. Fortunately for the terrapin it was too big for Fatty to swallow or it might have become dessert! Seen on National Geographic's WildCam Africa.
