evidence: A video of a crocodile catching what appears to be a deer-like animal and subsequently releasing it has been circulating on social media claiming that the crocodile set the animal free because it discovered that it was pregnant. Let’s verify the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: 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. Hence the claim made in the post is MISLEADING. After conducting an internet search using relevant keywords, we came across a Daily Mail article published in November 2017 titled "Lucky impala cheats death as a crocodile inexplicably releases it from its huge jaws after snatching it by a river". The article featured a clear video that revealed the impala’s gender, as it had visible antlers indicating it was a male, thereby ruling out the possibility of it being pregnant.
