The power of the crocodile was witnessed by many viewers when they were in the Agusan Swamp in the Philippines. The local indigenous people regarded it as a devil.

Although the crocodile shown in the lens is not as big as the one in the Agusan Swamp, it has the innate temperament of an apex predator.

As quiet as a virgin, as active as a rabbit!

So can this eager Gulf crocodile catch an elephant?

Or can you eat an elephant?

It became the most heated question discussed by the audience in the live broadcast room at this time.

After all, it was just sitting there quietly watching the entire herd.

Liu Wei looked at the barrage and explained: "Brothers, there is only one way in which a crocodile may prey on an elephant, and that is if the elephants drown or are washed away by the flood when the herd is crossing the river, especially among the elephants. baby elephant, waiting for his chance.

Don’t forget, I have also taught you that crocodiles are also scavengers, and the elephant carcasses soaked in river water will become a delicacy. "

Just finished.

The crocodile in the camera swings its body into the river.

It will not directly face the elephants lurking at the feet. It will quietly stay in the water not far from the elephants and wait for the drowning elephants.

The bull elephant who was surveying the terrain had noticed it, but he did not pay too much attention to the crocodile. He knew the little thoughts of the crocodile. Instead of worrying about a sneaky crocodile, it would be better to find the most beneficial place. The place where the elephants cross the river ensures the safety of the members of the herd.

Bull elephants shoulder this responsibility.

It is also showing its responsibility to the female elephant it likes.

The bull elephant walked to a shoal with sparse vegetation growing by the river, stopped, and looked across. There was a half-meter-high slope under its feet that led directly to the depths of the river.

It knows very well that only by minimizing the swimming distance can the elephant herd safely cross the river.

It thought the distance between it and the other side of the river was just right.

It turned around, faced the elephants in the distance and barked, communicating with the parents of the elephants through infrasound waves to explain its judgment.

Liu Wei probably guessed what it was thinking and confirmed, "Brothers, the adult male elephant has determined the location to cross the river, and now the entire elephant herd is moving in its direction.

I did a visual inspection,

The distance from a male elephant to the other side of the river is about 400 meters. If the elephants want to cross the river safely, they must meet one condition, which is the shortest swimming distance. Although the elephants’ water quality is not bad, due to their weight, they cannot Keep your body active in deep water.

This is also an important basis for adult male elephants to find the location to cross the river.

The height of an adult bull elephant is about 2.5 meters, which means that in the width of the 400-meter river in front of it, the fewer sections of water deeper than its height, the better. You must know that there are many underage elephants in the herd. With the baby elephant.

This is undoubtedly a test of life and death for the herd, but there is no way, there is abundant food on the other side of the river, they need that food, they can only fight with their lives!"

"Give it a try and your bicycle will turn into a motorcycle!"

"I pray for you, come on, elephant!"

"What are you living for? You have to endure the torture of hunger!"

"You look so embarrassed fighting for your life!"

The audience lamented that the difficulty of finding food for elephants reminded them of their own lives.

By this time, the elephant herd had gathered by the river.

In order to capture the spectacular scene of crossing the river, Liu Wei took off a drone. The drone was suspended over the river, overlooking the rainforest.

"It seems that this is their first time crossing the river and they are not ready yet!" Liu Wei observed.

The leading bull elephant took the lead and set an example. It slid down the half-meter-high slope into the river, and the rolling river immediately submerged its body. However, after a few seconds, it emerged and spit out water through its nose. My body endured the impact of the river and slowly swam to the other side.

In the wide river, only the trunk and head of the two-meter-tall elephant were exposed, and the rest of the body was submerged in the river.

It swam forward vigorously.

After swimming a distance of almost a hundred meters, he slowed down.

More and more bodies are emerging from the water.

It proved that the deep water area that could submerge its body was only more than 100 meters, which brought good news to the elephants behind it who were preparing to cross the river.

The bull elephant's body emerged from the river and reached the shallows on the other side.

He slapped his ears, turned around and roared at the elephants.

It seems to convey the meaning of safety.

Just then, a pair of eyes appeared from the edge of the river.

A pair of deep eyes stared at the elephants preparing to cross the river.

The crocodile felt that his opportunity had come.

In drone footage.

Some adult female elephants in the herd staggered and fell into the river. Faced with the huge impact of the river, they struggled to swim to the other side.

The elephants followed one after another.

It was the baby elephant's turn to enter the water.

Its two front hooves were hesitant. Facing the half-meter-high slope, it had nowhere to place, and it didn't know what to do after jumping into the water.

The parent of the elephant group, his mother, standing next to him, touched the edge of his eyes with his long trunk to encourage him.

Finally it fell into the river.

It just rolled down accidentally.

The moment it rolled down, its mother immediately jumped into the water and blocked it, fearing that it would be washed away by the ruthless and turbulent river water. Immediately afterwards, the two adult female elephants staying on the shore also jumped. water, they swim towards the top of the baby elephant.

In this way, the baby elephant is sandwiched between its mother and relatives.

The mother encouraged her child while swimming.

In order to survive, Xiangqun parents can only teach their children swimming skills as a practice for the first time.

It also knows the danger of being submerged in the river. All it can do is use its body to block the child's back to prevent it from being washed away.

Not far from them there was an uninvited guest.

The crocodile's eyes were always fixed on the protected baby elephant. It could not rush forward and snatch the baby away from the protection of the huge bodies of the three adult female elephants, but it was sure that the baby elephant would drown if it could not swim across. .

Drones photograph the wide river surface.

More than 30 elephants formed a line on the river. Due to the impact of the river water, the line looked a bit zigzag, but the scene was shocking enough, just like the fire fighters who used their bodies to build a copper wall in the flood.

The elephant's body undulates in the river.

The audience can clearly observe their swimming appearance through the drone perspective.

Liu Wei also watched the entire elephant herd closely.

Suddenly, he frowned.

The baby elephant sandwiched between the female elephant's body sank and did not show its head for several seconds.

Liu Wei's heart tightened.

What he was most worried about happened. The baby elephant, which was still nursing, became weak.

But the next scene hits home and touches the heart.

Its mother and two relatives in front of it used their long trunks to support the baby elephant's body, allowing it to come out of the water to breathe.

For the three adult female elephants, this is tantamount to risking their own lives. They not only have to use their trunks to help the young elephants, but also use their trunks to swim in the turbulent river.

Liu Wei shouted from his heart: "Come on!"
