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.
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 :-))
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'
(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.
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 :)
Here in the UK a man has a pet Alligator, full size, in his house! He cuddles it. They get on famously. He lives on his own. Now.. look it up on UA-cam.
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.
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!
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.
@Ramona Rael That's because birds are closer to dinosaurs lol. Most scientists don't think that crocodiles have changed in evolutionary terms for at least 100 million years.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
Very Final Bonus Comment: 36:44 I just double checked that one, it’s a Rock Monitor. Like I said, it’s different from the Nile Monitor & of course the Savannah Monitor that was seen on this Wild Story program on Crocodiles.
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 "
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
Nile crocodiles stages of hunting from a newborn to a suprem apex predator : Newborns hunt insects, lizards & fishes Medium sized Juveniles hunt birds & baboons Adult sized crocs hunt zebra, wildebeest, buffalos, antelopes & even baby hippos.
Final Bonus Comment: 3:36-3:44 I know what that is, It’s the Madagascar Tree Boa. 3:46 Is that a Savannah Monitor? 36:44 Could that be a Savannah Monitor too? It looks different from the Nile Monitor that was just seen.
Well, I don’t know if anyone has done that, but those viruses target humans specifically, if you injected it into a parrot, or a fish, nothing would happen. The same is true if you injected a crocodile specific virus into a human. Nothing would happen. Having said that, sometimes two viruses specific to say a pig and a cow, can meet and exchange information. The new viruses made from this exchange can infect both species. This is called zoonosis, hence swine flu, when a human and pig viruses met, or bird flu, when chicken and human viruses met.

Love the African folklore stories at the beginnings of these videos...
Excellent doc! Really enjoyed the ending, bittersweet. Loved it. Will watch again.
This is a very fine docu. Crocs and Sharks are my favorit wild animals on earth.
Me Nile crocodiles
Black Caiman here

British narrations are best, that's why. David Attenborough is the King.

Great show. Crocodiles are my FAVORITE animal. ❤️❤️❤️
Feel like this old documentary has a lot of false information. But still a very good one.
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'
the best documentary i have ever seen about crocs
Especially the 2 other species of African Crocodiles besides the Nile Crocodile.
The music was a great compliment to the video.

Live for 100 years ...amazing ...dinosaur D.N.A. for certain
Hard core wind in the willows....love it!
Human greed will destroy of all these magnificent beasts sooner or later.
One of the best documentaries on corocodiles
No one can mess with the beast! Except the Hippo - they can do whatever they like! 🤣
Everyone's gangsta till a hippo shows up.
Elephant: Am I joke to you?
💯💯💯💯
Say hi to an adult male lion
I just find it amazing to see a creature that hasn’t changed since pre historic times..Awesome
@@anishtripathy6259 a male lion can't do much to an adult hippo or a full grown Nile croc on his own.

Really never understood the logic or how its scientifically proven that crocs are dinosuars
@@DensilGrant By carbon dating skeletons that they've found of crocs that were alive tens of millions of years ago.
Very good video of various types of animals I like
I've watched about 50 alligator/croc/caiman/gharial documentaries on UA-cam so far
200 million years in the earth ... unbelievable creature
My love for crocodilians is on another level
mine too.
nature is so scary but fascinating
Crocodiles are pretty impressive animals.
Amazing majestic creatures.
Don't forget my favourite Roald Dahl book which is about a Nile crocodile.
22:18 Took the camera off the pied kingfisher because he/she probably died trying to swallow. Great documentary.

I think sharks are that way as well.

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

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.
Top 5 my favorite african hunters:
1- Nile crocodile
2- Leopard
3- Cheetah
4- African wild dog
5- Rock python
Wild hunting dogs have got to be number 1
Amazing documentary
A very good documentary - which, unfortunately, was almost ruined for me by the extreme number of ad breaks. Maybe 15-20. Ridiculous.
"Hippos are known to mourn another mammals death..." Except when they kill their own offspring or humans for the fun of it.
lol dude haha
Excellent work ...violin impressive
How do we know there's 7000 distinct species of Chameleon? They're Chameleons! They could all be the same species!
lol. I get it !
i love Crocodile's and thei are one of mi favorite animals
video uploaded in 2020 and its 480p? that's a crime!
Crocodiles can go nearly a whole year without eating or moving from one spot
Crodile leather is good for shoes , bags and more .
The size of a Thumb....😆😆😆😆😂😂 could he of said that anymore funny
Well done I really enjoyed it 😏👌
Most beautiful animal un the world
Awesome Footish , Thank you 😊
Footage man
Great video but seems like crocodiles stops growing...
Nice video, but WAY to many adverts!
Excellent video 😊
Enjoy this video very interesting
08:16 He's wrong. Crocodiles do sometimes use their tails to knock prey into their jaws; I've seen it done many times.
To knock prey into their jaws? 🤔 ... not so sure about that... seen them use it defensively a lot but never that... can't even see how that would work
And they can also eat rotten meat np
Crocodiles are the best
Even the lions humble themselves against the crocs
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.
So much for crocs like to store large prey, allowing it to decompose, so it would be easier to tear apart later.
That's one documentary you can sink your teeth in to

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
"Long ago, when animals ruled the world" *insert snarky comment about humans being animals*
Surprised you didn't show the crocodile gallop that smaller and younger crocs can do
Ohhhh so that's where the saying comes from....:come on, get cracking'
The ending was really sad
Which is the oldest? A roach or a crocodile.
There is no way they can tell 240 million years ago
G S 09 There are numerous ways they work these things out. Quite accurate these days too.
This was amazing.
This is interesting....
God feeds them ...He feeds you also
"It's only fresh meat for these crocodiles"....30 minutes later...The crocs feast on a dead hippo.
It just died so the flesh isn't rotting yet so its still considered fresh
This over dependence on the sun seems a cruel natural joke played on these sweet creatures .
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

Thank you. Save me the trouble
That's not true they only eat fresh meat. They are known to tangle then underwater and eat the rotting meat too.
Brilliant
I would not wanna get bit by one of those things.

Maybe they should eat greens then WOW

I have heard that if crocodiles are injected with HIV or
COVID-19 viruses they don’t get sick or die! Is this true?
Do you or I need to worry about Dutch Elm Disease attacking us?
Well, I don’t know if anyone has done that, but those viruses target humans specifically, if you injected it into a parrot, or a fish, nothing would happen. The same is true if you injected a crocodile specific virus into a human. Nothing would happen.
Having said that, sometimes two viruses specific to say a pig and a cow, can meet and exchange information. The new viruses made from this exchange can infect both species. This is called zoonosis, hence swine flu, when a human and pig viruses met, or bird flu, when chicken and human viruses met.
What is the song at the end? does anybody know?
Don't like crocodiles too dangerous.
