Nature is a production of THIRTEEN for PBS. Throughout its history, Nature has brought the natural world to millions of viewers. The PBS series has been consistently among the most-watched primetime series on public television.
-----------------
Explore the landscape and wildlife of the Upper Okavango River, where the deep water shows elephants swimming and carving channels through the reeds and papyrus, setting small birds afloat to drift past hippos and crocodiles. A lioness severely injured by a buffalo is left for dead by her pride. Now disabled, she must survive in the swamp alone, hunting to feed her little cubs.

0:31 I love how the babies just tumbled from her like in a cartoon. I had difficulty seeing the parents' eyes until 0:27 and 1:41.

[@joeybulford5266]

To crocodiles even eat those things? Seems like the chicks aren’t worth the effort.

[@3lzc192]

The adult birds looks like they have no eyes

[@mandero6682]

I was like woah at first glance these guys have no eyes but they look so exotic and rare

[@sonicbaseballzoodreams]

Are African Skimmers endangered?

[@bakaribradford]

Yes they are

[@kierallenpovadora5965]

and why there is a crocodile?

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

BALENSIYA GAMING The huge Reptile “The Nile Crocodile” is just passing by or something.

[@NewMessage]

Well.. plover parents teach their kids to fly into crocodile mouths so... Skimmers aren't doin' so bad.

[@heregood494]

Eommaaaa(╥﹏╥)

[@chickennuggetmartinez1926]

There is always an everlooming threat for baby animals in the wild. I guess in this case I'm not in love with the coco.

[@RickDeckardMemories]

I am rooting for the crocodile 👍🏻 Go get 'em, champ!

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

dmitriy40 Gee, Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, Betty White from the 1999 Monster Crocodile Movie Lake Placid.
