I could watch this for days. These old original style documentaries are the best.

Its just amazing and unreal how the crocs know their place infront of hippos, even baby hippos

Way back in 1999, I was barely 18 months old. My dad, in Rusinga Island, in Lake Victoria Kenya owned a 21" CRT Royal Tech TV powered by around 15" Solar panel or a small portable EM650 Honda Petrol powered Generator. Directed by David Hughes, this legendary Nature Documentary used to draw a forest of people to our house like a Presidential press conference. And here today, 25 years down the line and I recall the views alongside Richard Kiley's(I think he as well narrated the old Legendary Jurassic Park Movie) voice like it was yesterday. To any viewer watching this in 2099, bow unto thee, this was the therapeutic visual honey 100 years back. Goosebumps ❤.👌

How tf do they film all this?

I'm loving how the hippos are the chillest animals there and completely non-threatening yet you cross them you're done as they are the most powerful.

The narrator is amazing. He sounds like the same guy who I used to listen to as a kid in the 80s. Loved watching these with my dad

The dry season is brutal for animals there, it's almost cruel, but the cycle of plenty goes with the dry times, amazing survival stories. Great doc, thank you 🙏

I'm getting extremely frustrated trying to find another great national geographic documentary like this one were they follow something specific weather it be a specific group of animals or a specific area. But it's almost like Nat Geo doesn't even want you to find out about the existence of any other decent documentary like that.

"These great artists of violence are obliged to hold a kindly pose, as the hippo child wanders in her playground of gently smiling dragons, and slobbers on their tails." That's some 5-star quality writing there!

These narrators are so professional, nostalgic feeling

Drink a cup of water from there for 1 million?

"These great artists of violence are obliged to hold a kindly pose, as the hippo child wanders in their playground of gently, smiling dragons" I love this quote haha...

The baby hippo is just too wholesome 😂

How do you think the other animals react to seeing a baby deer get snatched by a croc? Hippos: Pft. Peasant. Baboon: Knew it. Other Deer: Noble sacrifice. Let’s drink more. Bird: **long inhale** EGGS

Hippos are politicians Crocs are cops

These docs are therapy 😌 🙌

This world is cruel But it's also beautiful

One of the great video I have watched in my life

The best documentary from my childhood

12:48 Look in the background that is a BIG ASS crocodile Holyshit

Thank you for uploading this. I saw it when I was only 5 years old, brings back good memories.

Imagine being one of the camera men on this trip, where you are watch animals kill each other over water, then you are over here with your Aquafina jug.

12:25 That is absolutely amazing A baby hippo walking around poking the very things that want to eat it lol

9:20 me right now watching this

Crocs: Guys smile! The baby hippo is checking us out! *_Mama Hippo stares at croc in 2 tons of muscle_*

5:12 "an irritated hippo helps them on their way" 🤣🤣🤣

its like the hippos are the rich people here

Thanks for the great video!

Imagine how crazy will be if there is Real documentary with dinosaurus

14:22 Deer: "hope no one saw that" 14:36 *turns around*

Buffalo: alright boys what are these peasant crocs gonna do ha Crocodile: nigga tf u think u doing in my lake (bites head) Buffalo: fuck this shit I'm out, alright guys who wants to go first...

9:19 that's me watching this beautiful documentary lying on the bed

If baboons were 8-10ft tall they’d look like werewolves lmao

It’s very easy to watch from our sofas & toilets, could you even imagine having to live petrified 24 hours a day that something was going to eat you or your child? I really do feel bad for wild animals.

I like how the lions only cameo in this whole documentary is playing the neighbor that hates the crocodiles but has to share the environment within in the process.

It’s sad to see them not having a lot of good clean water 😟. But I like how they all congregate there and interact with each other

Hi !! Thanks for posting this doc, it's really amazing !! Got part 1 and 2 somewhere ?? Cheers !

I love how this has 32 million views

This is really makes me appreciate being human and living where water is free and I don’t need to travel miles to get it. I have a fridge that dispenses perfectly clean drinkable tasty water for me at my own behest. I don’t have to worry about something being in the water and biting my face off.🙏😮‍💨

I remember when ever this was on tv back in the days ,the whole house was quiet we were glued to the t.v.

maravilhoso. A natureza é perfeita!

lol! @12:00 that croc looks hella annoyed. reminds me of squidward being bugged by spongebob

Last feast of the Crocodiles and Brothers in Blood (lions of Sabi Sands) are the two most captivating African wildlife documentaries.

I'm glad to watch a nature documentary that doesn't end up lecturing people about global warming..

They are. A hippo will easily snap even the biggest of crocs in half with a single snap of the jaw, and the crocs are well aware of that. They are far more badass creatures than cartoons want us to believe hehe.

9:20 he looked like he was taking a selfie.

This videos is amazing thanks for the upload

Giant croc: **Boop** Everyone: *RUN B*TCH RUN!!!!!!* 11:12

So glad I was born a human/don't remember my past lives as an animal.

Oh very nice videos ! That a real life ! All natural life in the world . Try to fight for life ! Thanks so much for your videos !

sou muito fa da vida selvagem principalmente quando os leões atacam bufalos. gosto de ver aquela luta pela sobrevivencia

hippos seem to be th only truly invincible adult animals there.

I died when the lioness was as scared of the bees😭 me too hun

12:10 ive never seen a crocodile be so angry and do nothing about it. they should have played this clip at 14:37 right after for max giggles

I like it. Great video!

The wonder of animal kingdom. Very peaceful and simple. No hatred despite their differences. Very relaxing to watch them.

9:17 when you hit the reggie for the first time

my neighbour is a hippopotamus. His pool is filthy.

Amazing video!

please upload again the first part this documentary is simply the best

Life of this world would be so easy without crocodiles

Lmao the hippos are literally the most savage animals at the water hole!

Geez even hippos don't mess with hippos lol

7:50 why is it so funny to watch hippos run 😄 guess i go to sleep... 6:30am btw. Fell down the rabbit hole once again

I keep seeing stupid comments along the lines of "Why don't the people give them water?" Or "People need to find a way to give the animals water." Here are several reasons why trying to get water to these animals is just a stupid and futile thing to attempt. 1. You will need to raise a substantial amount of funds for an undertaking as ambitious (and futile) as this one. 2. You need literally tens of thousands of gallons of water to make the slightest impact on the ecosystem. 3. You need to find a way to transport said water to a REMOTE LOCATION, that likely has no roads leading to it. Whether transported by motorized vehicle or irrigation, it will be expensive. There are currently no roads or irrigation pipes leading to this location, so you must build them, which again is expensive. 3. In order to build roads or irrigation pipes, you need to clear the land, which in turn is taking more habitat from the very animals you are trying to help. 5. You need construction teams working day and night in remote locations to build your roads/pipes. Those construction teams are made up of dudes, and they get hungry working all day, so you need to find an efficient and affordable way to keep them fed and hydrated while working in remote locations. Not to mention they will need some sort of shelter while out in the wild. 6. It's a good possibility that all this human activity would scare off/negatively impact much of the wildlife. 7. This drought took place in the 1980's in africa, a continent plagued by poverty and disease. Please, think for a moment of all the human suffering that must have been taking place during this time. Surely, helping a dying child is far more pertinent than going through all these steps just to help gazzelles and baboons not be eaten by crocs. And lastly, and most importantly 8. *You'd be doing far more harm than good.* One only need look at history to see that human intervention in delicate ecosystems is a terrible idea. You'd be throwing the ecosystem out of whack, in many ways, including but not limited to the construction and the human activity. When you ask the question "why not give the animals water?" You need to also ask yourself what you would have to do in order to get the water there, how much water you need to actually make a difference or accomplish whatever it is you intend to do, how much of an impact are you trying to have (as in, are you going to fill up the watering hole entirely? How much? Are you just looking to give certain animals water, ect.) And lastly you need to ask yourself *are there any negative effects you can inadvertently cause by going through with this idea?* it is my opinion that an undertaking of this magnitude would not only be economically unsound and extremely difficult, but would also have unintended and detrimental effects on the surrounding ecosystems, *potentially doing far more harm than good.*

good upload,...thanks

The crocodile must be seething from inside while the baby hippo examines and explores her . Never seen so many crocs in such a small body of water.

how could they quench their thirst in that kind of muddy water

Wow that shows you just how water is life. Without water, everything will die. From smallest microorganism a to blue whales. We humans take water for granted so often.

Wow very fantastic video

Hippo baby is like rich kid He can get through anything even laws of nature All others are like me fighting to live each day 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

great encounter with nature, thank you for posting

Why don't she eat the bees? Extra stamina.

Those crocodiles are like commercial workers : waiting for u to search something and then GOT U!!

My son he loves your videos

14:38 cracks me up 😂😂😂 they seem a lot of Mike Wazowski memes 😂

Water is prolly cleaner than flint

Hippos & Crocs are best friends 😂😂😂

Awesome! video thanks for sharing.

"Gently smiling dragons"

Imagine being a baby buffalo and surviving a croc attack😱

Best wildlife video!

Hippos: can’t nobody fuck with me Humans : hold my beer

amazing doc. thanks for sharing !

very nice

Great, I love wildlife

Nice video show about wildlife animal

Hippos: hey may I get some water Crocs: hell no Hippo: try me Crocs: the pools urs

When the birds were building their 3rd nest kinda reminded me of that part in Saving Private Ryan when the medic is on the beach working on a wounded man and then the man gets shot in the head, pissing off the doc and he's like "GIVE US A FUCKING CHANCE!"

Those baby hippos are fucking insane lol

Mom: we got pizza for dinner Me: 12:37

That baby hippo was so spoiled. 😂

Am I The Only One That Saw That Big Ass Crocodile @12:50 .-.

The greatest video about nature ever

That baby hippo was so adorable.😍💖

It's tough to know which creature to love the best, as they're all special in their own right.

Those dam crocs are Like water guardians. All mammals need water to survive and the Crocs dominate it patiently then CHOMP. Crocs are the biggest trollers on the planet.

Sounds like the guy off forensic files 😂😂❤️

*The baboon @**10:15* “ok asshole, we’re leaving!”

Oooh this creature really amazes. They even show overwhelming love that is never expressed by couples.
