Crocodile Behavior During Migration

The video explores the epic migration of over a million wildebeest and thousands of zebras across East Africa, covering a 600-mile loop through Kenya and Tanzania. The journey involves crossing two major rivers, the Gedi and the Mara, each with unique challenges for the migrating herds and the crocodiles that prey on them. The Gedi River is narrow and unpredictable, requiring crocodiles to adapt their hunting strategies, while the Mara River is deep and consistent, favoring deep-water specialists. The migration is a critical event for both the herds and the predators, shaping the ecosystem of the region.
