“300 hungry crocodiles live in the river” What a wonderful place to swim.
Yes. Truly wonderful. Everyone stays alive.
5 Star Quality👍🏽😎
The scary thing is that they don't have to eat to live for a long amount of time They can just not eat for a year and still be in the same tough condition
Probably Florida Man said that.
@@remyhavoc4463 seriously?! No way!
Guy: I’ve just seen a really good sized crocodile slide into the water. Also guy: jumps in
Well they want to see it!
@@andiederenthal4895 smart decision lol

Next up in tomorrow’s episode: “I just saw a black mamba slither into that bush. We will know go into that bush wearing sandals and waving flashlights around.”
Why didn’t the croc eat him
Imagine having the guts to get back and drink while your homie got snatched a few seconds ago.
It’s not about guts, it’s about stupidness
*hommie
@Treez 93 true hydrohomies
Imagine speaking correct English but your drunk assess call drunk slow and accent come on bring it on wolf wolf Cuban style iut
If you dont drink you die from dehydration as well !!!!!
People who film, photograph, study animals that could literally kill you are so amazing.
If it paid more, I'd be one too 😭
No stupid
They’re using high tech cameras, the guys filming are probably about 100 meters away
well not all crocodiles are so dangerous.. the dwarf crocodile it is so small that is not a big issue.. just look to believe ;)
I'll never forget that crazy Australian Steve Irwin.
*Wildebeest getting eaten alive by crocodile Baboons: "pass the bananas this shits gettin good"
Hehehehe
😂😂
Now that’s funny hahaha
@@studjo19 that was hilarious😐
@@studjo19 comedy

Lol
"And Here we see a fucking idiot risking his life to take a closer look at one of the world's existing dinosaurs, as you can see it's clear that the crocodile is more intelligent than the other species"
Really
@@kimbaldun lol they don’t hunt or kill humans 9times out of 10 do ur reasearch
The crocodiles are just mad everyone tries to drink their house
HAHAHAHAAHAH
Look ok omkmomko
Oko
Lol 😁😆

I love how even in numbers, crocs don’t mess with the hippos haha
Hippo is op thats why
Hippo will be eaten earlier or sooner. It's the crocodiles tactics.
@@elizabethsanders8006 rhino is more Op than hippo
@@huskiehuskerson5300 no

The baboons just needed a cellphone to look like the typical person who watches the others struggling and dont help

Fuck around and find out

Stop making up short words.

1000 crocs in the water Camera man: let me get some footage from the bottom
Gotta respect the size of his balls
@@jquankash9648 and the size of the unoccupied space in his cranium.
Cameraman never dies.
It amazes me that they can get a camera angle on a croc chasing a wildebeest under water.
They probably filmed the scenes in a safe environment and then put it into the documentary as a lot of close up scenes are done on a set, they wouldn't risk a diver in those rapids getting trampled or taken by a croc
Submarine drones
They film the underwater scenes in a separate safe environment, and add the that footage to the documentary later. They have a crocodile actor that they work with. He's a trained professional. Director: ok Jeremy, I'm gonna need you to just sink to the bottom of the pool with your head tilted up. Gary's gonna film your feet. Crocodile: yeah, I don't like how deep this water is, and tilting my head like that gets water up my nostrils... Director: I don't pay you to think. Get in the f***ing pool and act like a crocodile. That's not asking for much. Crocodile: you still haven't even paid me for the last shoot we did..
@@Yohanan552 lmao that's made me laugh. Thank you
Robo croc
13:01 “we have no choice but to risk a dash to the surface” Doesn’t seem like a risk when your other option is to stay underwater with a 4 meter croc
Crocs are ambush hunters that prefer to attack from below. When swimming with crocs, the surface is the worst place you could possibly be.
Better choice, stay in the boat
@@dreadmacklemore9951 Better choice, stay in the hotel drinking a margarita
Yes @@dreadmacklemore9951
I swear National Geographic has the best cameras out there. There could be a footage from like 2000 and it still probably look like it was taken around the late 2010’s.
this is BBC EARTh
@@screamingwind3559 Who said otherwise?
@@nothingisreal6816 National Geographic is not BBC Earth. Both excellent though.
Well regardless who owns the footage, very rarely does a production send filmmakers out there. They usually contract a videographer in the area and they shoot the footage
dude are you blind?
I will never take my bottle of water for granted ever again
Sure you will.
@@huskiehuskerson5300 yeah, probably
Wildebeest after seeing one of them eaten: Eh, it's all good imma drink more
Croc: Grabs a meal Wildebeest: *understandable* have a great day. I'm still thirsty tho
Sorry still thirsty... Sorry...
Wildabeast This is fine...
de
They know its their only chance to drink while one is being eaten
“They are intelligent hunters, plotting their attack with precision.” He’s absolutely right, the intelligence of crocodilians is not talked about enough. Something interesting about Nile crocodiles, as shown in the video, is the fact that they are social, and they will indeed work together (which is rare as most crocodilians are solitary); Nile crocodiles are among the most social of all reptiles.
they also montior their prey patterns. they do this with humans too
@@shamelessval8897 crocodilians are incredible, and they look so prehistoric. I always love to look at the alligators in my backyard and in other lakes (I live in Florida, suburban Florida, so the alligators aren’t usually too big, but they’re still so cool) :D
It's because of their only walnut sized brains, that they're often underestimated. In fact, they're not dumb at all, their sophisticated hunting tactics prove it.
What’s more facinating is, crocodiles study their prey for days before going in for a kill.
I find it hilarious that every year we find out how much we've underestimated almost every animal on the planet. It's a dose of humility that's probably good for us as a species.
My anxiety is over the roof while watching those divers
Tell me about it I can’t believe they did that
The Cameraman definitely dead,yep, definitely dead.
@@bradd2k2 Steve backshall is literally the human version of crack he’s done some mad shit
@@erminedereims400 Trust me😂I remember watching his shows on CBBC as a kid and thinking how insane he actually was
That shot from 12:07-12:16 is unbelievably beautiful.
i know right. scary majestic frightening but also other worldly.
12:55 Guy: He clearly sees us as challenge. Me: No moron,he sees you as his food.
DELIVEROOOOO
The croc probably wasn't hungry or had recently eaten. Maybe they knew this and therefore too the risk.
@@wordsmith52 He prolly was feeding it!
@@wordsmith52 I heave heard big production companies like national geo discovery feed the predators so they are full and calm and then film them.
@@GeekRaj It's not a company. It's a life style
Diver: ive seen a really good sized crocodile but I dont know where it is Also diver: lets just dive in and we will see what happens
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm it's big. I shall stay here.
That’s because it was winter and the crocs don’t hunt in the winter.
@@CmKsFoRLiFe Yes they can and they do. They are just less active and move slower.
This dude just stood face to face with a croc in the crocs house! Mad respect!!!
It's really wild, even for a wildlife expert. Even a fucking adult lion would avoid such an encounter in the water.
I love the way she explained the extremely efficient system of crocodile waste management when the hippopotamus start dying off.
crocs was.just fuckin eating plain and simple
They bih aint know shit.... Them damn
The father of one of my wife's friends did a lot of filming this stuff,retired now and a very knowledgeable and modest man.I went to their house once for a party and was blown away by the staggering amount of stuff he had,rooms full of equipment,film and photographs,stunning pictures too, What a life!
yes indeed, so exciting!
That diver that saw the croc and jumped in anyway is the epitome of "cameraman never dies"
That guys name is Steve Backshall, he's absolutely insane - he freedived with a great white shark and let a black widow crawl across his bare hand. 0 fear, despite having been bitten by crocodiles on a number of occasions.
I am most impressed with that bird pretty much standing on top of one of the crocs at 15:03 -- just chilling, that bird got a set of balls....
It might be one of the birds that watches the crocs eggs.
I was shooketh with them divers. Like he was literally so close he could touch the croc, people are cray cray and I love it
What I find more interesting is how a hippo can be in the middle of a feeding frenzy of crocs and yet the crocs won't attack it. Instead they eat the dead hippo.. That interaction is fascinating.
Crocs and hippos are like rivals who have mutual respect you stay on you turf we stay on ours type of thing between the two
TBH, it makes a lot of sense. Hippos are absolutely terrifying forces of nature. It's more like how a pack of coyotes will eat your lunch but wouldn't fight you to the death.
Why attack a live animal that can hurt you when you have free food lying around? I think it's pretty logic.
if its bigger than you and can hurt you.why do it?sharks do the same thing.they dont hunt massive whales
Diver, "I really don't feel comfortable being this close to him". Then why the f@@k did you get to close?
And your being there serves no useful purpose. Steve Irwin is to blame for popularising all these pointless look-how-brave-I-am wildlife films where the presenter is the main centre of attention.
Lol
@@exessex3522 I used to watch this dude with my young daughter. Seems he was showing 🤔 off for the camera. A lot of unnecessary interactions with diff animals. Well I may be wrong but I think he was down there messing with that thingy and got speared when that barb struck vital organ. When that barb go in you it dosent cone out without tearing something up. His luck ran out and his number was up.
Because he's Steve backshall lol go and read his career resume on Google what a career. lol if there's not many more qualified to do it than him he's not just a presenter lol it's just crocodiles are probably not his usual animal he films especially underwater
because he's too stupid to live.
I swear it’s not just me who’s getting Jurassic world vibes from the crocodile and bat one.
Reminded me of the King Kong game
Lol yes
Hippos can bite a croc in half “The crocs obviously not intimidated by that at all”
-weeellll a big one not really but a good number of those for sure, but in that number im sure they didnt care
@@theofficialassmob Lol right.. always found it fascinating how crocs and hippos coexist with each other.
Hippos don't attack until anyone keeps their dirty claws on their territory. Crocs normally have patience and never attack until they are hungry
Hippos: I can bite you and half Croc: ok and your point
@@itzscorpioperiodt8290 😂
“The herd is bewildered” Bewilderbeasts
🤣👍
Get out
Badum Tsss
No stay
“Last thing I want it for it to sense fear”…. Proceeds to emit an aura of extreme fear lol
Good idea: watching crocodiles on YT Bad idea: diving down, claiming their territory
Hippos and crocs are like two neighbours that dont like each other but must live near each other
Big props to old mate in the water with the crocodile. From someone who's spent a lot of time around crocodiles that must have taken a lot of balls!!
@@JT10112 why are you lying bro?
16:57 Baboon: Hurry, I have front row seats for the show.
AYOOO😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crocodile grabs a prey Wilderbeast: "Where did Billy go?"
7:25 Wildebeest: Help! The crocodile got me! Crocodile: Help! The current got me!
Hey Mr. Diver, when will you come to visit me again in my river? I would love to invite you for dinner. Regards, your large male crocodile.
The moment the animal goes in water Swiggy to Croc: the parcel has been delivered
Haha
@@techtac388 lol
So we not gone talk about how some of those bats was like "IIIHHHHIIII YU CAN'T GET ME" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol I guess not.
Lol I saw that too
"Australia fresh water crocodile" Oh you mean the harmless tiddlers we keep as pets?
😂
But their the biggest !!
Wildebeest : guys help there’s 300 of us The other 299 wildebeest: it’s good man we’ll remember your noble sacrifice
Diver: *swims to the crocodile* Crocodile: Aren`t you supposed to swim away from me?
Diver: Well I want to get footage of you...so no. Crocodile: Hmmmmmmmm then I eat you out now.
11:59 LOL
Lol
"A single croc can take some time to overpower its victim." 2nd croc, "Bonjour!"
“We’ve not choice but to risk a dash for the surface!” Crocodile doesn’t even chase them, he was probably laughing to himself after he scared them off 😂
Didn’t know they played these crisp tunes in Africa when they jump in the water.
😆
That croc now has covid
Haha nice one
Lol
He eat a chinese?
🤣 if only they all did!
What do you mean by that?
7:03 "crocodiles deliberately select particular victims" *queue dark tribal rave music*
They like rave
I’m 33, and I don’t need to be watching this before I go to bed.
The croc didn't want to attack the divers because their balls are too big to consume.
Damn bro. Sounds kinda gay but also not at the same time. Its still true tho
@@thedapperdummy he forgot to say no homo
@@stealtbadge2877 So he is then
Thats crap bulge.
Ya not many humans would agree to donthat
12:06 flippin hell, what a shot...
Wildebeest: whoa man, that log has teeth! And it ate Sam! oh well, back to drinking
i feel so grateful and lucky to be able to witness the existence of such an amazing apex predator from the pre-historic era... it's just unbelievable
the wildebeest : *getting eaten* the heard: that's bob! 14:20
" hey Johnny, what is that..? " " i don't know, lets drink " " is that a log..? " " maybe, lets just drink " " what was that log do to Samantha..? " " shit crazy, lets just drink.! " " i don't think that is a log..."
Samantha?
2 mins later: Samantha? :Empty shoes...
Much respect to the crocodile and its habitat, so much respect the closest I come to waters harboring crocodiles is here, nature isnt always pretty but it's the edge of balance in which this amazing planet operates
Love how the crocodile wasn't even chasing em and they made it a scene
"How big do you think the Croc on #2 was?" Me: "TOO BIG."
"Mama says that alligators are ornery... 'cause they got all them teeth but no toothbrush"-Bobby Boucher.
Hippo: Back away from the carcass! Crocs: Oh come on man, we’re starving here!
man, those wildebeasts were more like bewilderedbeasts. Those dudes underwater were insane.
Diver has lucky escape from his own dumb choices lol 😂🤣 Adult wildebeest : Go on young un', you go first i can see you're thirsty... Young wildebeest calf : Wow, thanks, that's real kind of ya..
11:06 Crocodile: Oh hello there. Would you like to stay for dinner? Diver: NO.
I remember hearing about a canoeist who was taken by a Croc in the few seconds that his friend looked away. His friend said there was very little commotion and that all he heard was a small splash and when he turned around to talk, his best mate was gone... Canoe and all! 😲 I have now come to an understanding with Crocodiles and Hippos... If they stay out of my garden, I'll stay out of their water! 😄
I watched the video too that you don't see the actual strike just the split seconds after then strike as his friend turns around with the camera you see the canoe right itself and all the ripples and like that he was gone
Wilderbeasts be like “oh look a fallen one, let’s drink for his departure.”
Rest in peace
They really are the dumbest creatures 🤣
1:15 bats can even catch fish like that at night, in complete darkness. They see what is in the water by ultrasonic sound. They even can calculate whether this fish is too heavy to take it out of the water. Everything measured with ultrasonic sound.
So cool u know all that have a great day!😊
What if humans had that ability , what if we could swap one ability from another creature, how would life be.
Not fruit bats. All they can catch is fruit - and I can do that...
13:27 Gordon Ramsay cooks with hungry aligators.
Diver: Blah Blah Blah Blah Me: Croc just eat him already please
As soon as he said reinforcements arrive I immediately thought and then the 2nd crocodile division arrived
"There is great confusion about what is going on after that first attack. "....the wildebeast take a cooling dip in the refreshing water to contemplate what just occurred
Me watching the wildebeest mother & calf crossing the dangerous river: 😲😱😱
Mara River is an awesome sight during the wildebeest migration ... quite amazing
Can someone, anyone, explain how the hell that guy was able to dive into that black placid croc infested water? How was he sure there were no other crocs around or below that he could have ran into. I have no idea how he got that close to the croc without it pursuing him or his camera team. Makes no absolute sense.
GoPro
It takes balls of steel, mate. "If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster." lol
They are professionals, do not try this at home.
Well bait traps probably thrown in around them , so they aren't hungry , or they're just wanting to die , either or.
@@rustytonguepunch yeah I thought that, still it’s next level shit. My brain would not allow me to do that😂 I guess years of exposure therapy allows them to do it
13:13 Rip to the camera man who stayed behind for the shot
more credit needs to be given to the sounds designers of these documentaries 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you BBC for these stunning shots.
Man i was literally sitting over here complaining about my WATER FILTER the other day to family. Wildebeest are trying to get up to 2.5 gallons but risk it all just for hydration! The things we take for granted!! I love as i age i appreciate the smallest of blessings
The second wildebeest to go down: the risk I took was calculated
The wildebeests were bewildered. 😃
14:15 "the heard is BEWILDERED" me: you could say they are WILDER beasts
Nile crocs like we might be monster but we have manners and class
Diver? Damn respect Steve Backshall as deadly 60 made my childhood what it was
Nature goes on forever for everyone and everything to return as everyone and everything an infinite number of times through evolutionary processes.
Yes I can remember very slight flashbacks of being wilder beast
Wildebeest: hey guys George is dead Other wildebeest: ok ,but that water though.
Some are bewildered. Does that make them Bewildered beasts?
BBC Earth is top ten best channels on KZhead.
@Sim C Yeah, really.
:O
@Sim C childish
It’s crazy how the baboons just sit back and watch a wildebeest get eaten. “Welp there goes another one”
Dj Khaled voice (Another one)
I like how the wildebeests are running then the croc just disappears
Your fine azz
I like it when they buzz the tower and the crocodile gets punked.
LOL, You don’t see a Croc messing with a live hippo though.
11:52 “ closest I’ve ever been to death “
6:44 For such horrifying nightmarish creatures they have the cutest little feets
14:32 snake lying there
Somebody said “I'm dying of thirst” 😂
Narrator: A strike can happen at any time. Me: Really? Crocodile: Yes, Andie, why don't we make that time now, shall we?
Bats avoiding crocs. A glimpse of what it must of been during the age of dinosaurs
