Most Dangerous Battles for Survival in Serengeti | FULL EPISODE | Nature Animal Documentary

Most Dangerous Battles for Survival in the Serengeti | FULL EPISODE | Nature Animal Documentary. A starving lion pride is trapped between a charging buffalo herd and a channel full of crocodiles, and the only way out is to swim. Across nearly four hours of chained chapters, the most dangerous battles for survival unfold from the Okavango Delta and the Pantanal to the open plains of the Serengeti, all decided at one razor thin border: the edge of the water. Through cinematic footage and educational storytelling, the opening chapter begins in the Okavango Delta of Botswana, where a flood from the Angolan highlands arrives in the heart of the dry season. A Cape buffalo herd turns the tables on a lion pride and drives it into the channel, tiny cubs paddle behind their mothers past a sixteen foot Nile crocodile, and a lioness turns on the crocodile to save her cub. Then the story crosses to the Pantanal of Brazil, where a jaguar walks the riverbank with its eyes on the water and dives to take a caiman, hyacinth macaws fill the gallery forest with color, and a family of giant otters learns that in the dark water the caiman still rules. 0:00 No Mercy at the Water 1:08 Welcome to the Wild 3:39 Okavango: a Flood in the Desert 4:52 Lions vs Buffalo: the Tables Turn 7:24 Lion Cubs Swim for Their Lives 8:32 Hippos of the Okavango 11:20 The Nile Crocodile: Master of the Channel 13:28 Lion Pride vs Crocodile: the Crossing 16:04 Flamingos at Dusk 18:27 Pantanal: Kingdom of the Jaguar 20:39 Jaguar vs Caiman: the River Ambush 23:19 The Hyacinth Macaw 25:39 Giant Otters of the Pantanal 26:24 Caiman vs Giant Otter 28:25 Who Owns the Edge of the Water 30:51 Serengeti: Lions vs Buffalo 1:40:00 Serengeti: Hyenas vs Lions 2:50:00 Serengeti: Crocodiles of the Great Migration Epic Moments in This Documentary: A buffalo herd charging a lion pride straight into a crocodile channel Lion cubs paddling behind their mothers through deep, dark water A lioness striking a Nile crocodile on the snout to save her cub A pod of hippos drifting through the Okavango in the golden light Flamingos wading through the shallows as twilight falls on the delta A jaguar diving into a Pantanal river and surfacing with a caiman Hyacinth macaws flashing cobalt blue through the gallery forest A family of giant otters fishing together along a quiet creek A yacare caiman rising from the submerged brush Lions, buffalo and hyenas on the plains of the Serengeti in the chained chapters Behind the drama is a system. The edge of the water decides who rules: every year the Okavango River carries roughly 2.4 cubic miles of water into the delta, squeezing predators and prey into shrinking islands, while up to 80 percent of the Pantanal floods each season. A Nile crocodile can weigh nearly six times as much as a lioness, so lions only borrow the water, but a jaguar, about half the weight of a male lion, hunts inside it and brings down prey about once every four days in the southern Pantanal. The hyacinth macaw and the giant otter are both threatened species. This documentary contains raw, unfiltered footage of nature at its most intense. Viewer discretion is advised. All footage is captured in the wild with no interference to natural animal behavior.
