Wild Congo - Part 1: River of Monsters | Wildlife Documentary
Watch 'Wild Congo - Part 2' here: • Wild Congo | Part 2: K...
As measured by its huge mass of water the Congo is the second largest river in the world, surrounded by tropical rain forest and fed by countless tributaries in an enormous watershed area in the heart of Africa. The locals call it the river that swallows rivers. As a small trickle in the north of Zambia begins its journey to the west over rapids and waterfalls until it finally pours as 40 km wide estuary into the Atlantic Ocean. Evolution and extreme conditions have created unique beings here. Fishes with lungs, wings or those that go hunting on land. The strange shoebill lurks in the vastness of the papyrus marsh, swarms of fruit bats darken the sky, meter-long pythons hunt in trees, chimpanzees populate the forests and hippopotamus bulls fight for power in the water. Exceptional shots provide insights into one of the most mysterious and dangerous regions of our planet.

I see a quiz in your future. A Congo River quiz. In the meantime, sit back and just be amazed. Seriously. The congregation of thousands of fruit bats, the Shoebill bird, the weird fish with lungs that can survive in a mud hole for up to two years and that’s just in the first 15 minutes. There are 800 different fish types in this river and not all sections of the river have been explored yet. Yep. Be amazed. Anyone out there actually seen, touched, experienced the Congo? Please let us know! Comments below 👇🏼

*The Congo River is one of the most fascinating and biologically diverse rivers in the world. Its waters teem with a stunning variety of fish, including several species that are found nowhere else on earth. The river also supports a range of other wildlife, from hippos and crocodiles to primates and birds. However, the sheer scale and complexity of the Congo's ecosystem can also lead to encounters with some formidable creatures, earning it the moniker "River of Monsters".*

@jasondashney Жыл бұрын

@@rubend9391 they could've done away with the absolute obvious nonsense that the bats add 10 tons of weight to each tree because that would be over 320,000 bats because they weigh 9 ounces each. Colourful narration is fine for me, but obviously incorrect information is not.

@themonsterbaby Жыл бұрын

@@jasondashney your math is crazy wrong. After they eat they weigh up to 27 ounces. That's 1.68 pounds. 10 tons is 20,000 pounds. 20,000 ÷ 1.68 is 11,904 bats per tree. So I have no idea how you came up with 300+ thousand bats per tree but you're way off. You added a decimal or something AND didn't account for them eating twice their weight in fruit.
