Transcript
00:00 In the vast natural world, where survival instincts guide animals to act, battles are
00:21 indispensable.
00:22 The life and death battles for food are extremely satisfying.
00:27 It is undeniable that such battles make the natural world so interesting and urge us to
00:33 discover more about it.
00:39 Today we will admire together the life and death battles between crocodiles and monitor
00:45 lizards to see who will be the winner.
00:47 Are you curious?
00:49 Watch the video to the end to get the answer.
01:10 Crocodiles and monitor lizards in the wild can be said to be natural enemies of each
01:14 other.
01:21 Whenever there is an opportunity, they will definitely rush to bite each other immediately
01:26 without hesitation.
01:32 The crocodile relies on a strong survival instinct and equips itself with many secret
01:37 weapons.
01:39 So it is called the king of swamps, the fierce predator of the waters, so any prey once in
01:45 its sights is completely difficult to escape.
02:06 Like this monitor lizard was caught in its sights by the crocodile.
02:11 After a while of stalking the crocodile prey, it attacked the monitor lizard, causing it
02:16 to suffer many injuries across its body.
02:23 Because crocodiles have powerful bites that rely on very strong rotational forces, they
02:28 can rotate their bodies while biting their prey to tear the meat.
02:40 Crocodiles often camouflage themselves by hiding under the surface of the lake, both
02:44 to cover the prey's eyes and to avoid revealing themselves to the enemy.
02:50 They usually hide in the water and only reveal their eyes and nose above the water.
02:55 Rated as a very agile species even other shore distance.
03:06 Even out in the water, crocodiles are quite patient in waiting.
03:11 Even when they lie motionless waiting for hours to catch delicious prey.
03:17 Crocodiles usually reproduce by laying eggs.
03:20 The reproductive cycle of this animal lasts for a whole year.
03:24 Normally, crocodile eggs are very large and have a hard outer shell.
03:29 After laying, the mother crocodile will lie in the nest to incubate and protect the eggs.
03:36 After a few months, the eggs will gradually hatch.
03:39 These eggs are also always delicious bait for the monitor lizard by their attractiveness.
03:54 Monitor lizards are opportunistic predators.
03:57 They often take advantage of when the crocodile is not paying attention to go far away from
04:02 the spawning place and then approach and eat the eggs of the mother crocodile.
04:15 Many times they have succeeded in making the crocodile not have time to run up to save
04:19 the eggs.
04:29 But in many other areas, crocodiles have guards to guard the eggs.
04:33 These guardians are small, but the way they operate is extremely effective.
04:40 Those are the dick-off birds.
04:43 This bird usually lays eggs near the nest of the king crocodile.
04:48 When they see lizards stealing crocodile eggs, they will call out to the mother crocodile
04:52 to run back.
04:59 The dick-off is said to be the bravest bird in the world, and part of that bravery comes
05:04 from being protected by the swamp monster.
05:07 It even fought the monitor lizard when the mother crocodile still hadn't returned.
05:13 This can be said to be a mutually beneficial relationship.
05:18 That's also why they nest next to each other.
05:35 In addition to stealing mother crocodile eggs, monitor lizards also attack and eat baby crocodiles
05:41 as soon as they have the opportunity to give birth to very young, defenseless cubs.
05:47 This is a favorite prey of this species.
05:50 Like crocodiles, they use their teeth to bite prey, such as young crocodiles, into smaller
05:55 pieces for easy eating.
06:02 The monitor lizard is a large lizard in the genus of lizards.
06:06 It is native to Africa, Asia, and Oceania, and is now found in the Americas.
06:14 This lizard has a long neck, sharp tail and claws, and well-developed limbs.
06:20 Most monitor lizards live on the ground, in trees, and are carnivores of even dead and
06:26 stinking animals.
06:30 In the wild, if it's stationary or clinging to a tree, it is very difficult to detect.
06:36 It also climbs very well.
06:39 Despite its heavy appearance, when chasing prey, it runs very fast.
06:44 The tail is the most powerful weapon to help the monitor lizard defeat opponents.
06:50 Even cobras have to be afraid of them.
06:55 The cobra discovered a nest of crocodile eggs near the riverbank.
06:59 However, due to its slow pace, it encountered another predatory assassin.
07:04 That is the monitor lizard.
07:10 The monitor lizard then used his tail to slam the venomous snake in the face.
07:15 It could be seen that the battles are conspicuous in the wild, bringing excitement to viewers.
07:21 The battles between the crocodile and the monitor lizard have brought the admiration
07:26 of anyone who witnessed it.
07:28 Both species have their own skills and weapons when fighting to be able to survive the rigors
07:33 of the natural world.
