Old wine in new bottle
BBC Earth continues to be the greatest Nature documentary to ever exist
"This is an incredible, raw depiction of nature's unforgiving balance. The patience and precision of those massive crocodiles are terrifying, but the sheer willpower of the migrating herds is awe-inspiring. It's fascinating how the zebras' family unity and physical strength give them an edge that the chaotic wildebeest numbers and the vulnerability of the gazelles simply can't match. A brutal but essential spectacle of survival."
In all my nature observing, I've learned that being near water is a one way ticket to death.
I love nature documentaries. I wish I got the opportunity to film them. I also plan to write my own stories, realistic fiction or a different genre with zebras, black backed jackals and Nile crocodiles and wildebeest in them or write nature reference books about them.
Many people don't know, but a zebra's kick is strong enough to break a crocodile's jaw, causing it to starve to death afterward. Therefore, in large river crossings, old crocodiles often let zebras go ahead, just waiting for them to separate from the herd or for their young ones to miss their rhythm.
but instead of just filming you all could be helping…………… and Don't give me the Sh.. that you don't interfere because you interfere in everything that these and other animals go through in life on this planet……….. All should be ashamed………
Большое спасибо за труд.
