Wild Congo - Part 1: River of Monsters | Wildlife Documentary
Watch 'Wild Congo - Part 2' here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hYOKw6icg6S6dcY.html
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 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.

Thanks. A wonderful dicumentary. Shoe bill and lungfish truly impressed me. Looking at the bats migration and look at them eating all the fruits was incredible. Love looking at the elephants, despite they were keeping in the mud. It is part of their natural habits though. Looking forward to see more documentaries about Africa.
This is an exceptionally beautiful and informative documentary. It teaches receptive humans compassion, acceptance, and some tools for survival in our challenging world.
Interesting how this is about the Congo but I see a lot of Zambia. It's cool though I am Zambian and love to see home 😊.
Very Good 😊, That Shoebill the thing in nightmares.
Have been watching this channel from the last two years and the video which got me here is a documentary on bohemian forest ( heart of europe) also it's my favourite
May God blessed you and your lovely family for this wonderful documentary.
Absolutely a beautiful nature documentary.......the only monsters I know are some two legged humans!!
When I watch videos like this which is so amazing it makes me know that it took an almighty God to create these beautiful wonders on earth. So how beautiful heaven must be
my man started the narration off by saying " like a roman orgy they come to stuff themselves and mate" .. props for creativity honestly lol.

I love the animal kingdom since watching Mutual of Omaha in the 60's, when I first saw the shoebill I was shocked at how primitive it looks, like the dinosaur era.
It is amazing that supposedly smart people think that these animals all happened by chance or a series of freak mutations....So obvious there is design in all of nature. And if a design, then a Designer.
