The Nile Crocodile, ruler of Africa’s great river, can reach five metres in length and faces a brutal fight for survival from birth. Females guard their nests for sixty days against hungry Nile Monitor lizards, losing nearly half their eggs. Loyal to their young, mothers gently carry hatchlings to safety, though only a few survive the perilous first weeks. Along the way, plover birds serve as unlikely allies, while floods and predators threaten every move. Watch these ancient reptiles display their lethal power — including the legendary death roll — as they hunt and dominate the Nile.
