Crocodiles are masters when it comes to stealth attacks.

@DawnTyrantEo 6 месяцев назад

Fun fact- crocodiles are actually intelligent enough to use tools in the same way as this. Both these mugger crocodiles and American alligators can collect lures with which to 'fish' for birds. They recognise when birds are looking for twigs to make their nests, then seek out twigs that they think the birds will like, balance them on their heads, and hide under the nesting trees to attack any bird that mistakes the trap for easy building materials!

This footage originates from Sri Lanka, my homeland. In certain instances, these predators may pose a threat to individuals walking through the paddy fields, particularly in desolate areas where they are unable to find prey. There have been a few recent incidents of such encounters. Currently, crocodiles have extended their presence to rivers and are occasionally spotted on beaches as well. If you plan to visit my beautiful country and decide to take a dip in the rivers, exercise caution. It is advisable to seek information from local villages before immersing yourself in the river.

@CrazyIshan69 6 месяцев назад

2:04-2:25 The cinematography in this segment is on another level. The sinister build-up with the high strings over the gradual realisations of the deer is hair-raising, and I also love how the initial shot of the croc finally lashing out is from a bird's eye view and the caught individual's predicament is then revealed up close.

Being slightly slowed with the drone shot it looks like the deer stopped struggling at once...then you realise that's just the sheer power of over 4 metres of *beast* hauling out towards the deep end and you'd look like a limp shred of flesh, too. Gosh I'm glad I'm not a Sri Lankan deer.

I'm absolutely fascinated with crocodiles & alligators. I'm from Southeast Texas near Galveston and we had plenty of gators in our bayou, but those were tiny compared to a saltie! A true Apex predator who is smart as a whip! The speed for which he grabbed that deer, then shot off with it in his mouth had to be watched several times. Nobody would've guessed that a giant man eating lizard would be hiding in a tiny water hole using vegetation camo, then await his prey and ambush with the speed of lightening! Just wow!!!
