Filmed during a brutal drought in central Africa, this brilliantly photographed video from National Geographic follows the punishing predicament of animals living along the dwindling Luvuvhu River. As the water level sinks during the dry season, animals, including baboons and impalas, are forced to seek water in pools filled with hippos and deadly crocodiles. At one point the crocodiles, who are the focus of the filming, are described as "artists of violence," and the term seems entirely apt when they are seen striking out with lightning speed from places of total concealment in the water and mud. As the camera lingers on the watering hole, the behavior of increasingly desperate and thirsty animals is shown in all its brutal detail, and portions of this video will have the squeamish averting their eyes. Even though the violent outbursts are handled as tastefully as possible (it is, after all, a National Geographic production), some scenes, such as a violent confrontation between crocodiles and baboons, are heartrending. And while some of the video is inevitably difficult to watch, the photography is always spectacular; some of the shots, such as scenes of a baby hippo blithely wallowing among the crocodiles under the mother hippo's watchful eye, are astounding. This video is both brutal and beautiful, and puts the viewer as close as possible (and desirable) to some of Africa's most amazing wildlife. --Robert J. McNamara
Product Description:
In the daily struggle for survival, terrible thirst drives wildlife to water...even when the water is just inches away from the jaws of a crocodile. During one harsh season, a punishing drought draws some of Africa's most magnificent creatures to the shrinking pools of the Luvuvhu River. Its dwindling waters provide relief for baboons, impala, elephants, lions, water birds and bee-eaters - but also a refuge for scores of hungry crocodiles. Amidst the stunning scenes of nature at its harshest, strange things happen. A baby crocodile basks on top of a hippopotamus. Baboons attack a crocodile that has taken a youngster from the troop. Crocodiles harass a heron and steal its hard-won catch. And hippos calmly wade into the middle of a crocodile feeding frenzy. But the power of nature and her relentless drought may prove greater than even that of the most fearsome beasts. This cruel season may turn out to be the LAST FEAST OF THE CROCODILES.
Way back in 1999, I was barely 18 months old. My dad, in Rusinga Island, in Lake Victoria Kenya owned a 21" CRT Royal Tech TV powered by around 15" Solar panel or a small portable EM650 Honda Petrol powered Generator. Directed by David Hughes, this legendary Nature Documentary used to draw a forest of people to our house like a Presidential press conference. And here today, 25 years down the line and I recall the views alongside Richard Kiley's(I think he as well narrated the old Legendary Jurassic Park Movie) voice like it was yesterday. To any viewer watching this in 2099, bow unto thee, this was the therapeutic visual honey 100 years back. Goosebumps ❤.👌
Kenya is nature. Have lions, rihone, crocodile and elephant...
I could watch this for days. These old original style documentaries are the best.
If anyone knows any docs similar to this that follow a wild "community" like this I would appreciate it, because I love this doc so much
Sameee this is the rearrest one ig
surprised how little soul mashing music they used.
In the animal kingdom, monkey fights are a means of settling disputes and establishing rank
Its just amazing and unreal how the crocs know their place infront of hippos, even baby hippos
The narrator is amazing. He sounds like the same guy who I used to listen to as a kid in the 80s. Loved watching these with my dad
Pretty sure this is the same narrator from the jeeps in Jurassic Park!
I'm loving how the hippos are the chillest animals there and completely non-threatening yet you cross them you're done as they are the most powerful.
Hippos kill alot of people, you know that right?
Секс са бока
yeah, but they are also very territorial. they wouldn't let a human anywhere near their young. I don't think they would take too kindly if u went up and slapped them too!
Hippos are not one bit chill and are the most dangerous animal on the planet
The dry season is brutal for animals there, it's almost cruel, but the cycle of plenty goes with the dry times, amazing survival stories. Great doc, thank you 🙏

How tf do they film all this?
Time and money
With cameras.
Best documentary of all time
Lots of patience, money and really good cameras
I didnt ask myself that question until now.
"These great artists of violence are obliged to hold a kindly pose, as the hippo child wanders in their playground of gently, smiling dragons" I love this quote haha...
Same. Quite poetic
'And slobbers on their tails.' You forgot the punchline.

I'm getting extremely frustrated trying to find another great national geographic documentary like this one were they follow something specific weather it be a specific group of animals or a specific area. But it's almost like Nat Geo doesn't even want you to find out about the existence of any other decent documentary like that.
No there are plenty, you just have to pay for it. 🤑🤑🤑🤑

Crocs: Guys smile! The baby hippo is checking us out!
*_Mama Hippo stares at croc in 2 tons of muscle_*
Makes bo sense.. does the croc have 2 lbs of muscle or the hippo...
Wrote it as if one of them were standing in 2lbs of muscle like a pool filled full of random muscle tissue
It’s sad to see them not having a lot of good clean water 😟. But I like how they all congregate there and interact with each other
Hippos are politicians
Crocs are cops

This is really makes me appreciate being human and living where water is free and I don’t need to travel miles to get it. I have a fridge that dispenses perfectly clean drinkable tasty water for me at my own behest. I don’t have to worry about something being in the water and biting my face off.🙏😮💨
7:50 why is it so funny to watch hippos run 😄 guess i go to sleep... 6:30am btw. Fell down the rabbit hole once again

Awesome! video thanks for sharing.
I keep seeing stupid comments along the lines of "Why don't the people give them water?" Or "People need to find a way to give the animals water." Here are several reasons why trying to get water to these animals is just a stupid and futile thing to attempt.
1. You will need to raise a substantial amount of funds for an undertaking as ambitious (and futile) as this one.
2. You need literally tens of thousands of gallons of water to make the slightest impact on the ecosystem.
3. You need to find a way to transport said water to a REMOTE LOCATION, that likely has no roads leading to it. Whether transported by motorized vehicle or irrigation, it will be expensive. There are currently no roads or irrigation pipes leading to this location, so you must build them, which again is expensive.
3. In order to build roads or irrigation pipes, you need to clear the land, which in turn is taking more habitat from the very animals you are trying to help.
5. You need construction teams working day and night in remote locations to build your roads/pipes. Those construction teams are made up of dudes, and they get hungry working all day, so you need to find an efficient and affordable way to keep them fed and hydrated while working in remote locations. Not to mention they will need some sort of shelter while out in the wild.
6. It's a good possibility that all this human activity would scare off/negatively impact much of the wildlife.
7. This drought took place in the 1980's in africa, a continent plagued by poverty and disease. Please, think for a moment of all the human suffering that must have been taking place during this time. Surely, helping a dying child is far more pertinent than going through all these steps just to help gazzelles and baboons not be eaten by crocs.
And lastly, and most importantly
8. *You'd be doing far more harm than good.* One only need look at history to see that human intervention in delicate ecosystems is a terrible idea. You'd be throwing the ecosystem out of whack, in many ways, including but not limited to the construction and the human activity.
When you ask the question "why not give the animals water?" You need to also ask yourself what you would have to do in order to get the water there, how much water you need to actually make a difference or accomplish whatever it is you intend to do, how much of an impact are you trying to have (as in, are you going to fill up the watering hole entirely? How much? Are you just looking to give certain animals water, ect.) And lastly you need to ask yourself *are there any negative effects you can inadvertently cause by going through with this idea?* it is my opinion that an undertaking of this magnitude would not only be economically unsound and extremely difficult, but would also have unintended and detrimental effects on the surrounding ecosystems, *potentially doing far more harm than good.*
Trevor Rogers I’m so sad that your comment just got passed by
Well in a drought like this with minimal GROSS water, what human is gonna give theirs to animals? It's funny how everyone just thinks life is the same as they live everywhere for everyone. Taking that shit for granted

They are. A hippo will easily snap even the biggest of crocs in half with a single snap of the jaw, and the crocs are well aware of that. They are far more badass creatures than cartoons want us to believe hehe.
