00:03 Water is able to protect these creatures from thirst
00:11 and high temperatures.
00:13 But it cannot save them from the predators that dominate it.
00:16 Hungry or not, no crocodile can ever be trusted.
00:21 The scenes here might change dramatically at any time.
00:24 With an intelligent strategy, the crocodile
00:29 gets closer and closer to its prey
00:33 and remains invisible until the moment of the attack.
00:36 Thankfully, the warthog detected the onslaught
00:45 and was spared from certain death.
00:47 This troop of gazelles were about to satisfy
00:56 their thirst at the river when some of them
00:58 tried to cross it.
01:01 They were unafraid of the crocodile
01:03 swimming in the water.
01:04 With full confidence in their speed and agility,
01:08 the bravest of them managed to cross the river,
01:10 dodging the reptile's attacks and escaping their grip.
01:14 Soon, the crocodiles came in numbers.
01:16 The gazelles got cocky, and their overconfidence
01:24 made them lose caution like their peers.
01:27 They also plunged into the river.
01:30 It's when the crocodiles captured them all.
01:32 Their attack was amazingly fast and efficient.
01:39 That's exactly the perfect ambush.
01:41 In this environment of shallow waters,
01:47 everybody preys on everybody.
01:50 Pelicans and herons prey on fish that
01:53 eat smaller fish that feed on algae.
01:56 What a crowded food chain.
01:59 But on top of them all, crocodiles
02:02 reign as the predators of all predators.
02:04 Obviously, death from below awaits everything that
02:10 moves without introductions.
02:13 The crocodile quickly captures the heron
02:16 and immediately devours it.
02:18 The other birds flew to safety.
02:20 The crocodile uses a clever method
02:22 to move closer and closer to its victim
02:24 while remaining inconspicuous until the moment of the attack.
02:28 In the bleak of an eye, the crocodile pounces on its prey.
02:33 The herd is bewildered.
02:35 Some have never seen a crocodile before.
02:37 Even as the full horror unfurls, the heron
02:44 is still able to escape.
02:50 As the night unfurls, there is a great confusion
02:52 about just what is going on.
02:54 The prey has become stranded in the middle of the river.
03:01 Predators are coming from all directions,
03:04 looking for an easy meal.
