Crocs are the scariest living animal. Laying in wait in a murky river waiting to ambush and drag you to your death. At least sharks are less aggressive, up front and don't sneak around
Actually sharks are sneaky, and will attack because they have the element of surprise. That's why you must always face the shark head on, because looking away gives it the opportunity to ambush you, because it thinks it can win. Same goes for other ambush predators. If you can see them coming, they they're less likely to attack, since they don't want to risk injury.
Te C-Jones after reading this comment I went for a quick dip in our local pond where recently in our neighbourhood people have been realising unwanted gold fish and the likes out of nowhere i saw a large dorsal fin of a bull shark probably released by some one thanks to your comment I remembered what you had said and faved the shark head one. I owe my life to you sir
@@tec-jones5445 Yep, and also hitting a shark on the nose is a good way to deter it (it's where all the sensitive electroreceptors are). If you do that to a croc on the other hand...
@@スノーハッピー hitting the nose is good, but the best way is to go for it's gills so it can breathe. For a croc, stay out of the water, watch our for it's massive tail, and, *if* your a professional croc/gator rangler only, then it's common to close it's mouth, as it's powerful jaw muscles are evolved to close down fast and hard, and therefore are weak opening up. A good rope or strong rubber band can keep their dangerous mouth shut. Again, *only* if your a *professional* at handling crocs, the best thing to do back away, stay away from water, and, if it's got you in a hold, go for it's vulnerable eyes, and spin with it in the water so it's death role doesn't rip you apart.
It really brings things in perspective when you realize how great it is that you don't risk getting literally eating every time you go get a sip of water.
Liam if you don't mind me asking. Is living in Australia really as dangerous as people make it out to be?! I've heard there are a lot of poisonous bugs and animals to worry about. Is that true?
@nin lat dude what is your problem?! Go and get a life instead of attacking people on UA-cam smh. Myself and the 143 people thought so. I have never encountered someone so angry and attacking people because of a legit comment they made. I'm baffled! Sounds like you got serious issues.
Bear in mind that freshies are much smaller than their saltwater counterparts. And that flying foxes are considerably larger than most other bats. Plus they don't have echolocation.
What a stunning video! The quality and the background are exquisite! This is nature at its best. The bats need the water to survive and the crocs need the flesh of the bats to thrive. Amazing Jehovah!
I watched a debate between a creationist and an actual scientist who studies evolution. During the debate, the creationist said something along the lines of, "if evolution was real, why don't rabbits just sprout wings when being chased by foxes?" and it completely put into perspective why creationists don't understand biology and evolution. It's not the rabbit that performs a miracle that wins the war on survival, it's the rabbit with the bigger hind legs. That rabbit lives on to procreate, with their offspring more likely to inherit that trait. Same goes with the flying foxes: the ones who can are keen enough to spot an alligator in the water or evade/fight off their predator, will pass those genes on to future offspring. The ones who get eaten will not.
Crocodiles actually have the strongest immune system on the planet, they have survived even the mighty HIV, which is literally designed to destroy the immune system.
Yes of the two, one facing a bit of a nuisance as well as an opportunity to feed, the other facing death each time it takes a sip of water, I do feel worse for the Crocs.
those hyper-exagerated soundeffects ruin the incredible images. I know that it is impossible to capture the real sound, but make the effects more natural
I use to have a family of 20+ fruit bats visiting my garden for a couple of months annually- such darlings. They at the berries from the trees and drink from the containers that we hang up for them. Love them just not the vomits and poo

LMAO get those fellers a bottle of water said the American. There must be one floating around there some place where we left it. LOL Poor little fellers. Sooo cute.
i think megabats like these don't have echolocation. and even if they did, without water/threat of dehydration, they likely wouldn't be using it, to conserve the energy it takes.
imagine almost getting eaten by a croc every time you tried to buy a bottle of water
Quit buying bottled water!
we always get eaten by the government taxes.

loved the one at 3:28 it's like it trolled the croc and laughed at it

and crocs just wanted some food.

Grow a set,,,
It’s ok to feel bad for animals that don’t make it. As long as you understand that it’s the way that nature works.
Bats have the most magnificent wings!!
White tailed eagle would like to know your location
There have the closest wings to dragons
Bear in mind that freshies are much smaller than their saltwater counterparts. And that flying foxes are considerably larger than most other bats. Plus they don't have echolocation.
