Brief Summary
EXPLORER travels to the wilds of Africa to track the Nile crocodile, one of Earth’s deadliest and most feared killers. Once nearly decimated by hunters, these mighty giant crocodiles are making an amazing comeback. Now, in a land where lions rule the savannah, Nile crocodiles are reclaiming the rivers. The Nile crocodile is an ancient species—it has haunted Africa’s waters since the age of dinosaurs. Yet in over 60 million years, this stealthy creature has changed little. A croc in its prime can reach 18 feet in length or longer, and weigh nearly a ton. It can lunge several feet in the blink of an eye and subdue prey as large as a buffalo. Some can even hold their breath for over an hour. Such assets like these help make the Nile crocodile one of the most successful predators on the planet. EXPLORER witnesses the daily lives of these remarkable reptiles as they hunt, breed, and survive under the hot African sun.
