Love the African folklore stories at the beginnings of these videos...

I love the fact that sad music plays while a hippo dies while a crocodile nearby is like 'MEAT IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS' while the rest of the hippos watch the crocodiles eat their fellow hippo into bits and pieces thinking 'THERE GOES FRED'

Excellent doc! Really enjoyed the ending, bittersweet. Loved it. Will watch again.

the best documentary i have ever seen about crocs

Feel like this old documentary has a lot of false information. But still a very good one.

Great video - sustained my interest. The commentary was top notch and so was the videography. It's such a different style to the more bombastic approach taken by other producers. Thank you.

Wonderful documentary.. Thanks for sharing.

Hard core wind in the willows....love it!

The music was a great compliment to the video.

One of the best documentaries on corocodiles

He silence it with the snap of his jaws 😂

Amazing majestic creatures.

How do we know there's 7000 distinct species of Chameleon? They're Chameleons! They could all be the same species!

Great show. Crocodiles are my FAVORITE animal. ❤️❤️❤️

Really interesting video. Keep doing it! Crocs are very dangerous, I wish a could have one as pet and bodyguard at home XD Hope to see more from you :)

(2 Months Later) Fun Fact: Peter Terry The Narrator of this Program previously Narrated a 2000 Crocodile Documentary called “An African River Goddess: The Nile Crocodiles of Ndumo”. It was also seen on Animal Planet Safari’s Cold Blooded Monsters in the start of the 21st Century.

That was captivating !! I'm usually not to interested in crocodiles since you always get a video of shredded wilderbiests and zebras .But this was calming and beautifully done despite the BIG teeth:-) the croc mom is almost adorable in her care and isn't it funny how males of EVERY species make a fool of themselves to get a females attention :-))

Crocodiles can go nearly a whole year without eating or moving from one spot

This is a very fine docu. Crocs and Sharks are my favorit wild animals on earth.

A superb doc in every way..👍👍

Amazing documentary

By existence of these giant monsters who can definitely say that dinosauts priod ended.they are the same.at least should be.thank you for this precious video.infomative and anbsoprtive!

Live for 100 years ...amazing ...dinosaur D.N.A. for certain

No one can mess with the beast! Except the Hippo - they can do whatever they like! 🤣

Human greed will destroy of all these magnificent beasts sooner or later.

Don't forget my favourite Roald Dahl book which is about a Nile crocodile.

20:12 Kosi/Predator Bay: There's another great documentary on Real Wild exclusively on this bay in Africa and the Croc/Shark relationship. Great documentary and very detailed too.

My love for crocodilians is on another level

Don't mess with a crocodile ...that is all I have to say ...respect them ...make a suitcase out of them ...shoes ...but respect them ...bow, to these critters

23:30 Narrator - "The 2 normally have a truce" Me - i wonder why Hippo - "Cause we Damn well can boy!" Then shows me Hippos are the only creatures i cheer on when they bullying others

Crocodiles are pretty impressive animals.

Excellent work ...violin impressive

"Hippos are known to mourn another mammals death..." Except when they kill their own offspring or humans for the fun of it.

Excellent video 📹 👏 crocodile 🐊 the beast 💪 of all time ⏲.

Very good video of various types of animals I like

I've watched about 50 alligator/croc/caiman/gharial documentaries on KZfaq so far

200 million years in the earth ... unbelievable creature

video uploaded in 2020 and its 480p? that's a crime!

The perfect killing machines, no need to evolve because they've been perfectly adapted to their environment for tens of millions of years. Living dinosaurs.

A very good documentary - which, unfortunately, was almost ruined for me by the extreme number of ad breaks. Maybe 15-20. Ridiculous.

The size of a Thumb....😆😆😆😆😂😂 could he of said that anymore funny

22:18 Took the camera off the pied kingfisher because he/she probably died trying to swallow. Great documentary.

nature is so scary but fascinating

Great video🐊

Americans & Crocs have something in common, a brain the size of a thumb.

Awesome Footish , Thank you 😊

i love Crocodile's and thei are one of mi favorite animals

At 15:47 he's talking about Deinosuchus. But sadly new estimates reduced it's length but who knows they would have grown even bigger.

Great video but seems like crocodiles stops growing...

Which is the oldest? A roach or a crocodile.

This is an excellent documentary with Peter providing the perfect commentary (a total absence of "er", "you know", "I mean", "kind of" and "like") with a fine voice. Some years ago, while working in Sri Lanka I received a request from a biologist in the UK to supply his lab with some crocodile blood. Reflection suggested that the underside of the base of the tail might provide a convenient location for obtaining a blood sample. With help from a vet, the sample was obtained and sent. Elsewhere, I heard that crocs rarely, if ever, suffer from any infectious diseases.

Brilliant

Nice video, but WAY to many adverts!

Favorite animal.

Top 5 my favorite african hunters: 1- Nile crocodile 2- Leopard 3- Cheetah 4- African wild dog 5- Rock python

That's one documentary you can sink your teeth in to

Even the lions humble themselves against the crocs

I love crocs..

Well done I really enjoyed it 😏👌

Excellent video 😊

Amazing

Ohhhh so that's where the saying comes from....:come on, get cracking'

So much for crocs like to store large prey, allowing it to decompose, so it would be easier to tear apart later.

3:15 that's a hefty chonker

4:39 It’s the African Slender Snouted Crocodile. It’s like an African version of both The False Gharial from South East Asia & The Orinoco Crocodile from South America.

This is interesting....

Enjoy this video very interesting

Most beautiful animal un the world

In 2008 there is a rumour about a man eating crocodile named Gustave from Burundi who grows up to 9m in length (20 ft long) and weights up to 900 kg (half a tone) and was recorded to kill an adult hippo with his powerful jaws. And he has killed

Crocodiles are the best

Crodile leather is good for shoes , bags and more .

Surprised you didn't show the crocodile gallop that smaller and younger crocs can do

I'd suggest studying the global historical record & the wealth of accounts describing actual encounters with massive reptiles if you think dragons are mythological or that dinosaurs lived tens or hundreds of millions of years ago.

"Long ago, when animals ruled the world" *insert snarky comment about humans being animals*

" and he blows seductive bubbles"... I tried that technique in the bath and the wife just said... "What the hell are you doing?"

The ending was really sad

YEAH!!

"It's only fresh meat for these crocodiles"....30 minutes later...The crocs feast on a dead hippo.

How do you know crocs hate frogs for that lol 😂 did they tell you 😂 I love docos like these but when i hear shit like that i just laugh

There is no way they can tell 240 million years ago

#MOTHERNATURE

But a very ancient thumb that knew séductive bubbles

This was amazing.

What is the song at the end? does anybody know?

I would not wanna get bit by one of those things.

God feeds them ...He feeds you also

08:16 He's wrong. Crocodiles do sometimes use their tails to knock prey into their jaws; I've seen it done many times.

from all turtles alive that they could have shown at the beginning about reptile species they take the one that got a massiv scar from a propellerboat on its shell

Dammit frog, look what you did

Crocey mate!

Dunia yako na yangu.. kipindi ya ajabu.. Mamba.. In Swahili..

This over dependence on the sun seems a cruel natural joke played on these sweet creatures .

That's not true they only eat fresh meat. They are known to tangle then underwater and eat the rotting meat too.

💞🔥

Pea brains ...like some humans I know

I have a Question! Just today, I introduced a new category of expression for an evolutionary step that is approximately 400 million years . A time in which genes transcend~ the material universal time of information transfer. life phenomenon . So following the evolution of alligator species I have a problem thinking given by today's observations that the difference in one degree Celsius makes the difference between the formation of male or female individuals. That the mother crocodile when laying eggs determines that temperature with the depth of egg burial! Although it is clear to me that the time of climate change lasts for tens of thousands and millions of years, it is not clear to me how alligator species have resisted and survived such changes? . And let's say species other than reptors didn't ??

3:35 "...boa constrictor which lives in ...Madagascar..." Do some fact checking, can't you? That's a Malagasy Ground Boa. There are NO examples of Boa constrictor in Madagascar. Boa constrictor is in South America What you're calling Boa constrictor is actually a whole different genus " Acrantophis madagascariensis "

I love cheetah

Maybe they should eat greens then WOW

Way too many ads!!!
