Gives new meaning to "wash up for dinner".

A payment is required to cross the river every time. Nothing’s free in this world 😂. Crocs gotta live too.

[PaulPhoenixxx]

I also shed tears of joy when the crocs get to have dinner 🤷🏽

[BloodoperaBlackvomit]

Crocs are amazing creatures. Good stuff.

[diontaedaughtry]

Watching the crocs eat makes me hungry.

[foureyes]

Why didn't the crocodile eat the zebras ? He wanted to try something Gnu .

[Melanosuchusss]

Ah yes “infested” clearly a river crocodiles are meant to live in means it’s “infested”, why don’t we call the savanna’s lion infested too 😂

I love when you give us AFRICA
DOCUMENTARY THAT'S WHAT WE WANT 🙏🥰🙏

[o.c.g.m]

I love it when they interview & speak to the people of that nation rather then some british old person who studied them and lives 38388 miles away

Great video a will to live in spite of the dangers

[igotobernal]

Damn nature, you scary.

Thanks for the video, Nature on PBS. These crocodiles have been on this planet since the dinosaurs. They are such powerful, chilling, and wondrous animals.

Its always the poor wildebeest that cop it, and what a way to go as well. Having your head clamped down as another croc twists one of your legs off😬

Without the free lunch crossing. Those gator will all die

[cyrusknowles]

Huh... so we refer to lions as a "pride" and zebra as a "herd" but when it comes to crocodiles ... it's an "infestation". Come to find out it's a "float" of crocodiles.

[lightningrod]

Is it common that the first one in the river makes it across unscathed because the crocs prefer to choose their prey? Or is it more common that the first one gets annihilated because the crocs can't be sure the herd will follow him in?

Its a log, no its a crocodile, no its a log 😂

*CROCDILE EVOLUTION*
ancient crocodile 1: some predators chase the prey other ambush the prey some use all their force to bring them down what should we do'
ancient crocodile 2: why don't we wait in the water for the prey to come to us
ancient crocodile 1: that is a terrible id-
*A FEW MILLON YEARS LATER OR SOMETHING*
crocodile 2: told you it would work
crocodile 1: yea yea not let get more wildebeest

[twinflowerfioretta]

the first is master, lets go lets go lets go is waiting for someones, - crocks are stunning creatures, a bit a bite from Jurassic park.

[mtlwqv]

his friends passing him: "see ya"

[declup]

Do fellow wildebeests or zebras ever team up to defend a herd member caught be a crocodile?
