Filmed during a brutal drought in central Africa, this brilliantly photographed video from National Geographic follows the punishing predicament of animals living along the dwindling Luvuvhu River. As the water level sinks during the dry season, animals, including baboons and impalas, are forced to seek water in pools filled with hippos and deadly crocodiles. At one point the crocodiles, who are the focus of the filming, are described as "artists of violence," and the term seems entirely apt when they are seen striking out with lightning speed from places of total concealment in the water and mud. As the camera lingers on the watering hole, the behavior of increasingly desperate and thirsty animals is shown in all its brutal detail, and portions of this video will have the squeamish averting their eyes. Even though the violent outbursts are handled as tastefully as possible (it is, after all, a National Geographic production), some scenes, such as a violent confrontation between crocodiles and baboons, are heartrending. And while some of the video is inevitably difficult to watch, the photography is always spectacular; some of the shots, such as scenes of a baby hippo blithely wallowing among the crocodiles under the mother hippo's watchful eye, are astounding. This video is both brutal and beautiful, and puts the viewer as close as possible (and desirable) to some of Africa's most amazing wildlife. --Robert J. McNamara
Product Description:
In the daily struggle for survival, terrible thirst drives wildlife to water...even when the water is just inches away from the jaws of a crocodile. During one harsh season, a punishing drought draws some of Africa's most magnificent creatures to the shrinking pools of the Luvuvhu River. Its dwindling waters provide relief for baboons, impala, elephants, lions, water birds and bee-eaters - but also a refuge for scores of hungry crocodiles. Amidst the stunning scenes of nature at its harshest, strange things happen. A baby crocodile basks on top of a hippopotamus. Baboons attack a crocodile that has taken a youngster from the troop. Crocodiles harass a heron and steal its hard-won catch. And hippos calmly wade into the middle of a crocodile feeding frenzy. But the power of nature and her relentless drought may prove greater than even that of the most fearsome beasts. This cruel season may turn out to be the LAST FEAST OF THE CROCODILES.
They don’t make documentaries like this anymore. Great nature documentary.
Because there is nothing to document anymore :(

the new free netflix planet documentary was really good. The production quality was insane, but I feel that it was free and open for all to see because in that documentary is just the extent of how much damage we as humans had already done, and is basically the last places on earth that looks like earth.
Never seen footage with so many different animal interactions. This footage is amazing
@@BigSmoke-zm5oj Cringe. It's still interesting to watch how brutal the world can be.
@@BigSmoke-zm5oj You're just a baby dude. The whole reason they make these documentaries is to provide people a glimpse into how violent nature can be. People don't watch it to get off on it.. they watch it because it's scary and fascinating. This would be us too if the economy ever completely collapses.. fighting for survival at all costs.
@@BigSmoke-zm5oj You just sound weak dude. Harping on people for observing nature in its natural order. Nature is brutal and humanity is brutal. The difference between us and the animals is we can develop a conscience and show passion. Letting your passion overwhelm you just makes you sound like a weak bitch though.
@@BigSmoke-zm5oj you are just embarrassing yourself
Justin Z interesting eh? Watch the news then.
12:52 Perhaps the best sentence:
"As their pool dies around them, the hippos and the crocs lie marooned in mud like creatures made of clay, half formed, waiting for their creator to complete them"....
Deep
I have written something like this myself.....
@@GMATTOEFLSATGRECOACH this sentence is so close to nature and soulful..
Fantastic perfectly described
Just read this as he said it
7:03 is one of the craziest unfoldings I've ever seen, from the way all the baboons shriek together to how it all goes down
Kind of reminds you of a blm rally
1. Those crocodiles are ginormous.
2. I love how the hippos and crocs just chill next to each other like nothing is going on. The hippos are there just casually and the crocs are like "nah I dont wanna get in trouble so I'll just eat a dumb zebra"
Lol....so true
those crocs are tiny I've seen much bigger
BAYMAX THE doge Same, Salt water crocs in Aus are ginormous
Those are impalas not zebras
Aint no stupid crocodile gonna dare hurt big momma and her little piggie hahaha
I'm not mad at those baboons. They ganged up on that crocodile like "YOU GOT THE WRONG GROUP TODAY!"
It was only 1 baboon that tried to help. The others didn't do anything.
@@HorrorMovieQueen yep they were only shouting
@@HorrorMovieQueen That is a manly baboon if i say so xD
BAY 16 the feminist baboons were busy protesting patriarchy
@@cray0308 omg I'm dead
I remember watching the baboon/croc scene on TV many years ago. It remains one of the most vividly brutal images of any nature documentary I've ever seen.
Which one is that one and where do I find it on UA-cam
Oh yea watch croc rips zebras face offf
@@knoz5688 watch the deer suffocate on mud while all of it's bones are broken from a hippo, after being hunted by a lion
That one baboon was literally eating the face of a baby impala, starting with its eyes, one at a time. I'd be shocked to see something like that on TV or networked shows nowadays.
UA-cam just recommended the most savage animal documentary
Bruh 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
This was so brutal and sad but so beautiful to watch, nature truly is just a fight for survival.
How is it beautiful?
Emilio M. M. Nature n shit
Maybe you should live out in the desert with a broken arm... for the beauty ya know...
@@emiliomarbanjr its beautiful because he doesn't really empathize with the animals, he cant see himself being them, so he doesn't recognize the danger. A rational actor doesn't see beauty at all but horror.
@@evadedodge9784 Amen to that.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our ancestors for evolving and escaping the food chain.
Very much agree
Compared to any other animal on earth humans are nearly gods.
@@chiroquacker2580 speaking about food chain
Truly
yeah we are at top of the food chain .
6:24
That Impala was like, 'Gimme some of that water, bro!'
Baboon: 'Ah! Piss off mate!'
This was spectacular to watch so many animals together, the crocodile and hippo resemblance is truly amazing
6:22 I about died when that impala got slapped.
Ahahaha me too like bitch come get these fades 😭
Same
You could see the baboons interacting throughout like that- "now GIT the fuuuk outtahere"... Such badasses. I never realized their name comes from the sound they make. BHA BHOON.
The most intense 15 min of animal program i have ever seen
Haha
Yeah man I'm like sat here gob wide open shivering like an abused dog
@@madzangels same those poor baboons. F

I remember seeing this on TV in the 90s and it really made me realize how easy people have it.
If anyone is curious it's "national geographic,the last feast of the crocodiles 1996"
When nat geo and dscovery were amazing; today they only show reality tv
@@santiagocabrera Indeed a bygone era that's missed.
I always find the way crocodiles walk on land slightly comical.
Daniel Astbury ikr they walk like they got thier nails done!
I laugh er time I watch one walk
Daniel Astbury they are snakes who took steoroids
Not exactly poetry in motion that's fow show.
Yeah but at water !! damn they are the land's sharks land here as opposed to big waters seas and oceans
I think the hippos check on what the crocs are eating to make sure they didn’t somehow quietly kill one of their young.
Dj Mystery I think to impose dominance
The Guy it could both
Hippos are the actual King’s of the wild.
Or just to Offer Up, for blood atonement atleast you know that type thing this is lion king right ?
Hippos do eat meat sometimes.
This is probably the most brutal and depressing animal documentary ever made. Life is a struggle.
Watch Peta docs
@ 13:50, “if baboons have nightmares, this is truly one of them,” great description
That's got to be the toughest canteen in Africa.
If you're a thirsty baboon, wait for a gazelle to drink then sneak up behind him and shove him in. While the crock's are busy tearing him to pieces, have a nice drink.
Yeah, but not all of them are pure evil and I think they're impalas
Replace "baboon" with "stalker". and gazelle with "bitch" then you get a double story.
SantiagoJuanita hahaha great idea
Megan D'Arc in nature there is no evil and no good, just a cycle of life, with no society.
And no repo man, either, unless you count a tsunami aw
"If baboons have nigtmares... this is surely one of them." Jesus Christ this doc goes HARD

Best animal documentary on UA-cam… just amazing.
14:25, the way the baboon looks back after escaping the crocodile as if to say, "ya bastards, thanks for helping me!" 😂😂😂😂
I thought that was hilarious.😂
Why did I read it in Sean Macguire's voice?
Lol
Yes - the big male baboons were the first to run away and let the babby and momma baboons get attacked. Then the "brave rescue," of the baboon who ran back trying to bite a fucking crocodile, who picked up the very dead babby . Way to go hero - maybe if you didnt run away the babb would be alive so all it did way take the crocodiles lunch. Great rescue.
@@MrTim223 Putting your human emotions on an animal....not good.
The Crocs generally do not mess with the hippos because the hippos will often fuck them up XD
Indeed, hippos jaws are so powerful, they can bite crocodiles in half.

They don't make animal documentaries like this anymore! Just raw good footage.
2:30
Lizard: Well hi there!
Crocodile: Get away from my children
That’s amazing how animals act on pure instinct and no thought process and yet a baby hippo is completely safe around feeding crocs because it’s parent is watching close by
I always thought animals acting on pure instinct and without a thought process was a massive misconception. I'm sure there is scientific consensus to prove that they do not operate on instinct alone.
@@muhammadeisa1459 "Im sure" 🤣
@@edithboozy1000 I misspoke. What I was trying to say was that there are studies that support my view.
That is completely false, who told you that? Animals do have a thought process.
I'm sure you'd love to believe that all animals are unthinking instinct driven machines.
This isn't what is supposed to happen in the wild, that's what the Lion King movie told me.
In that movie the prey instead bow down to the lions apparently not caring that these creatures will eat them.
it's because Scar is still king ;-;
Mufasa explained the circle of life pretty clearly lol
@@av3r3st24 exactly!
we are talking about a motive that makes cockroaches look delicious lol
8:26 leaves me speechless. The physical and emotional pain
Emotional pain? It took a risk and paid the price. And the croc went for the momma, she practically pushed the babby into its mouth in its frenzy to get away. Even the terrible "rescue" would have killed it - the baboon grabbed it and ran away with it flailing around, if it wasn't dead before it sure as hell was in the "rescue."
@@MrTim223 ....your comment does not negate emotional pain...
@@user-nu3sd7zb2j I agree with you 137%. Can't negate something that doesn't exist - unless you consider the crocodile suffering after the baboons stole it's food, then that might be accurate.
@@MrTim223 Again you comment doesn't negate anything related to emotional pain .

8:29 it's literally dangling by the last fibers of muscle tissue
I don’t think it would survive much longer after that, but who knows, it didn’t seem to be bleeding a lot
Guineapig1227 Fey the monkey probably was dehydrated resulting in a low amount of blood in the body. Any cut that leads to even a small ounce of blood loss would mean death. Also infection is a bitch.
@@ryanlee5294 lol
Ryan Lee yeah I thought it would die, it cut through bone, and didn’t seem to be bleeding much, I have seen primates in the wild missing arms, however in that environment, yeah infection and blood loss would kill it
This footage and story telling is the best I've ever seen of animal life and death struggle- Wow 👏

6:23 That B-slap though
I love how hippos can just chill with their offspring with dangerous predators, knowing that the predators are weaker than them.
Buddy like "damn I done broke my arm, my baby dead,talk about a bad day."
That's so sad the bamboons act like humans fighting for the baby then becoming emotional when her baby died.
It shouldn't be more sad just because they remind you of humans, they're all equally vicious in different ways, and they're all trying to stay alive, crocs just have an advantage that time of year.
I dekil it
Only humans would craft spears to massacre the entire pond for retribution
Except for the Hippos, they would obliterate us
@rocky dubois it wasnt eating it lol it was biting it so it dies then eats it humans are more heatless and cruel than anything
Why so many dislikes? This is incredible footage honestly
Who saw the domestic fight
This so rare
Fucking vegans ahah
Probably bc they didnt want to see the animals get eaten
Meanwhile enjoying their easy life gyahahahah
Right! Maybe PETA, or some other hypocrites that think nature is supposed to be all cute and not attack each other...yet they have no problem eating their pre- packaged meat
Shes like “ur not my kid” and hes like “U ARE THO”
Hello .
3:25 lmao he really spinning
Yeah they tear the bones that way
The desperate animals = humans
Waterhole = money
Crocodiles = Goverment
Hippo's = Rich people
Pretty much
Bro
Muh Russian Bot just stfu what do you know about how the system work that was created by them
@Muh Russian Bot There's safer waterholes where the animals can drink from. They didn't *choose* life at this sketchy waterhole. But, in this case the poor have to wing at it to survive. If they could, they'd drink from a duck pond.
So true but rich people dont offer service, they just live they are born like that
Hippos just like seeing violence

I remember seeing a video once where a Hippo flipped a stuck animal upside down in the mud, the anime in question dies of suffocation.

@@mackyboy4432 ...

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.*
Trevor Rogers your absolutely correct you said it all and, your comment was very interesting and we'll thought through. You must be very well educated or have a great mind to cover everything so precisely, way to go!!
