  • Amazon.com description:
    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.

      the new free netflix planet documentary was really good.

Then the "brave rescue," of the baboon who ran back trying to bite a fucking crocodile, who picked up the very dead babby . Way to go hero - maybe if you didnt run away the babb would be alive so all it did way take the crocodiles lunch. Great rescue.

    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.*

      @@gavaudan2131 You lack nothing on a vegan diet anymore. It used to be B12 but now most plant milks and cereal have that fortified in it. Cow milk and non-vegan cereal also has fortified vitamins that non-vegans lack such as vitamin D, Iron, and some B vitamins. Also B12 is originally found in soil and the only reason it’s not as common in vegans is because most whole foods for humans are sprayed with pesticides. The reason it’s not an issue with meat eaters is because you eat the cow that eats the soil covered grass and other plants.
      Basically if your food wasn’t fortified like vegan food hadn’t been for a long time...you too would be deficient in a few vitamins.
      You’re a complete fool if you think vegans eat air LOL
