Love the African folklore stories at the beginnings of these videos...

Excellent doc! Really enjoyed the ending, bittersweet. Loved it. Will watch again.

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'

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 :-))

Great show. Crocodiles are my FAVORITE animal. ❤️❤️❤️

The music was a great compliment to the video.

the best documentary i have ever seen about crocs

Feel like this old documentary has a lot of false information. But still a very good one.

Wonderful documentary.. Thanks for sharing.

A superb doc in every way..👍👍

(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.

22:18 Took the camera off the pied kingfisher because he/she probably died trying to swallow. Great documentary.

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

Crocodiles can go nearly a whole year without eating or moving from one spot

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

No one can mess with the beast! Except the Hippo - they can do whatever they like! 🤣

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.

Crodile leather is good for shoes , bags and more .

Which is the oldest? A roach or a crocodile.

"Long ago, when animals ruled the world" *insert snarky comment about humans being animals*

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

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.

The ending was really sad

It just died so the flesh isn't rotting yet so its still considered fresh

So much for crocs like to store large prey, allowing it to decompose, so it would be easier to tear apart later.

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 ??

Maybe they should eat greens then WOW

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 a whole different genus " Acrantophis madagascariensis "
