Crocodiles Sneak Attack Thirsty Bats | 4K UHD | Seven Worlds One Planet | BBC Earth

A flying fox's long wingspan makes walking on the ground very difficult, so to drink, they dip and soak their bellies in water. But while the bats are looking for a drink, the river crocodiles are looking for food.
Featuring 'Seven Worlds, One Planet' and narrated by Sir David Attenborough, join us in London on an immersive digital journey into the natural world at the BBC Earth Experience. Discover more: bit.ly/3HlqJDh

This is why I check my surroundings before taking a drink from my water bottle. Never know what might happen in that situation.

This is why I love crocodiles, they know these animals need water , so they use that against them everytime and animal come close to water edge or suface, amaze me every time, it never fails.

At least the bats can still drink inside the crocs' stomach.

[@mariadaluzmoutinho5701]

O sonar dos morcegos é um instrumento importante...Os sinais supersónicos replicam com objectos...mas neste caso a camuflagem do crocodilo com o rio ....faz com que a ecolocação não os evite e seja o primeiro e último voo na água!! É uma questão de segundos ...

[@b.a.erlebacher1139]

These are flying foxes, a member of the Old World fruit bat group (Pteropods). Unlike other bats, they don't use sonar. They depend on their excellent night vision and sense of smell to navigate and find food.

Imagine you can't even drink without being attacked by a monster, not my ideal of life

[@betraid]

Welp if the bats were smarter they could drink in different places, that's just how evolution goes, if they don't overcome they will dissappear at that territory atleast.

[@astick5249]

@@betraid Then the crocodiles would just follow. Theres not much of a choice, this is pretty much the reason crocodiles live in water.

[@betraid]

@@astick5249 I think crocodiles will just switch the target they hunt instead of following ;D

Breathtaking! The dusky sky filled with bats is awe-inspiring. Wish the camera could have stayed longer on one bat that got nicked and was flopping along the surface of the water -- did the crocodile get it, or did it escape back into the sky?

[@footfault1941]

Hard luck for bats! Patience is virtue holds in a cold-blooded animal, too. Do they somehow know where is the best spot for hunting? Dominant individuals would be there if so. More like a lottery.....

Using the same technology to do these videos that was used in Jurassic Park. Much easier than to travel to there. I want something real guys, I wanna see the narrator on the video, not only listening his voice. Disappointed ☹️
