Orinoco Crocodile Protects Her Nest | Deadly 60 | BBC Earth 

xrarnax they don't breed that often only once a year when the weather is good like rains. But she might be inclined to if all her eggs were lost.

@@starsfalldown1234567 they breed every year

Atleast leave 5-6 eggs to make it feel complete again

just be purely objective and hopefully the video wouldn't be as rustling

Kenneth Newbery at least she is being a good mother

poor things

Osm

Kenneth Newbery I to sympathize with the mother But also admire her motherly instincts

The strength of a mother transcends any particular species

+Brick Tamland at least it wasn't in anyones kitchen

Brick Tamland the crocodile hunter is back

He's from and Austrian show as well called deadly 60

Brick Tamland R.I.P. Steve Irwin. He was a great guy.

He never did. He did alot for the contribution of the survival of them.

The last dinosaurs

and possible quite sad as they take her babies ...altough for good cause it's still depressing to her

When there are 5thousands and less of a population people should intervene. Why? Because it’s probably because of human actions. Either poaching , uncontrolled hunting or deprivation of natural habitat.

Chill. Orinoco Crocodiles are critically endangered with only a few hundred in the wild left at _most_ - it sucks and seems harsh, but with these rangers capturing a group of these eggs would help increase the odds of the species' survivial - and given that there's usually 20-70 eggs in each group that can potentially survive much better into adulthood compared to the MAYBE 1 out of that 70 that will survive (lots of times NONE of them do).

G U there are 300 left in the wild...

After a while the mother instincts would leave anyway and she wouldn't really care for the babies once their old enough anyway

G U ..i agree..so sad !!to steal her babys like that😣😣😣😣😣😣😣...to save!!them but mommy is hurt loosing her babys..

The Nintenbro okay but that’s not now that’s in the future at least let her get to that point before you say some thing like that

One-Soul-a-Time - She didn't put up that much of a fight for her nest, they have very thick skin a stick wouldn't do that much, he ranger even said they would die to protect their nest, did mom croc really think her babies were that much in danger and needed that fierce protection , if she did then why not be more aggressive and attacking, i'm pretty sure mom croc could have done some serious damage to one of those rangers.

@@shellzyotube9549 crocodiles are mostly built for water and cant move that well on land unlike a alligator. An alligator has no problem hustling on land, crocodiles struggle more on land. Thats why she put her nest pretty close to the water.

​@@shellzyotube9549 It is not that the stick does not do much against her thick skin. Her thought are different from that. Only very calculated animals (human include) will think as you describe. Animals learn most of their knowledge from instinct and real-life experience. They don't deduce logical conclusion as human do. What she saw is a group of 2-leg tall animals approaching her nest. 0:15 She try to scare them away by lunging her body toward them but they did not runaway as suppose. 0:23 When they put the stick toward her, what she saw is not a stick but "they extend their long, stick-like limbs to her". She then proceed to violently attack their "stick-like limbs". 0:49 Usually when she did this, the animals that was attacked by her will scream or show sign of pain or try to back away. Instead they did not back away at all but hold their ground and even push forward. She sense that her attack is useless against these weird looking animals so she has to retreat to the water. 0:54 When she is in the water and the humans appear to relax a bit, she try to approach them slowly to catch them off guard with her ambush. 1:27 She then sit down right next to her nest to press that she is firmed on her stand and trying to lock them in a stalemate. Usually when she does this the other animals will also have to stop and watch out for her too but these humans just does not care. 2:07 She did try to scare the egg stealers many times after that but to no success.

Unless it's dad

Atleast leave 5-6 eggs to make it feel complete again

bahahahahahahhaha

Ironic,these armchair animal lovers never think beyond “human bad”

You must not be a mother. It's a shame they couldn't take her with them so she could protect her babies

@@Hannah-zc8gn too true. It's cruel to cause an animal such emotional pain, even for "the greater good". It would have been possible to bring her with sedatives, and reunite hercwith her babies. I agree with the ultimate goal, (protecting an endangered species) not with the method to get there (separation).

for real, and the people saying “oh just bring the mother too” as if that would be such an easy thing to do. most wildlife centers don’t have time to care for a wild croc along with 20-70 of her eggs…

eberalex female crocs are usually much smaller.

Yes orinocco crocs are quite large but this one is small

They don't get that bicg anymore because they were hunted down nearly to extinction

@@ethang3997 still capable of eating caimans

*_"ALAN"_*

Oh shoot JP3 Reference.

Love Jurassic Park ! ❤️

"They want the eggs.."

Ryan Lopez "they think you stole the eggs"(kiby)

no animal species deserves to go extinct *at the hands of humans* nature's course is a different story

How do you feel about mosquitoes lmao

@@LLLadySSS they can go

@@kitanajadefrost4663. They have a huge effect in the biological food chain. If they go, then frogs and others who feed upon them will go too.

If an species is dying because of humans then its our duty to help them, but if an species is dying because their own means cant keep up with nature then we just have to let it take its course

Whoops TADAA He probably meant to say “of these animals”. He obviously meant THIS species of crocodile.

still an EXTREMELY low number... compared to humans who are around 7 billion.... BILLION!!!

We breed like fly's to shit.

And yet chickens still outnumber us.

Blame humans taking land and wreckless poaching or killing for no real reason.

This is a reptile. These don't usually feel grief and don't feel sad when their babies are killed. They may be confused, but protecting them is an instinct, which is not a emotion

@@hamster2644 How the hell do YOU know what the croc is or isn't feeling? And why would an instinct not be accompanied by an emotion?

@@IWanderedAsACloud dude it is common science. Reptiles genuinely lack the brain to feel grief. Search it up

@@IWanderedAsACloud seriously. The ability to feel complicated emotions (grief, love, depression, ect.) Is exclusive to humans and some other animals like dolphins

@@hamster2644 it’s obvious she has grief because she’s defending her babies

+dewinthemorning Or to keep u entertained at non human beings expense.

Depends on the species, tbh.

MAH BEHBEH'S!!

Tania R He's not wrong.

Open Wheel Is The Best And You Know It how do you know what they fell no human would ever understand a try animals intentions because one we can’t communicate with then and 2 we are not them

RU-vid if they try to protect they baby’s from predators and human in pretty sure they care,

Naysha L7 it's an instinct, every animal has it to help their offspring survive. All they care is that they make it into adult hood and that's their job done, they don't meet up once and awhile to talk about stories when they were little. They leave and the mother goes to mate again and does the same thing until she dies that's all they have ever known and will ever know. At least these guys are trying to save the species..

Oof Pocho is a good example that they can feel and sympathize. Plus physical pain is different than emotional pain.

Neena some people here in the comments make me wanna yank my eyes out

Atleast leave 5-6 eggs to make it feel complete again

@@Zed9659 why? They are just gonna get eaten. They should take all of them and raise as many as they can! 70 offspring is alot of crocs for a single mom

How the hell do you know that?! Given the fact that the crocodile reacts so violently, I would say the burden is on you to prove it is NOT feeling a strong emotion. Animals are not robots.

which is why animals like crocodiles, turtles, tortoises and a majority of birds or mammals produce many offspring in the first place is to increase the chance of their species' survival :)

I can, nothing, she’s feeling nothing because they don’t feel anything when it comes to offspring, it’s an instinct not an emotion

WOMAN?! do you think mother croc named them and asked herself each day what happened to Ludmilla and Rodney?

do you know what a woman is

canniball hampsters

Melissa Savage how can they be your biggest fan?

Knowing crocs, the chances that she felt any pain are next to none.

Adam Freeman You must not know crocodiles very well because despite their thick skin they have very sensitive touch sensors on their face. Female crocs need them when they sometimes crack open their eggs and carry their young in their jaws.

NTense I’ll admit, I wasn’t aware of that fact. Then again, I live in Texas and we have Alligators instead of Crocodiles.

anon Actually, those sensors are not as sensitive as u think, they’re like tiny holes, u can’t get through them that easily.

men: your babies could be eaten, we are trying to protect them

She will shed some crocodile tears and then forget the whole thing.

ha ha thats what i'm thinking

Trash King of that species,use context

Roger Dale there's no female crocs growing to 6 meters. Maybe there would be some outliers at 4 meters for salties, but 6 meters only goes for males.
