Crocodiles - The Whole Story 5/13 - Go Wild

Africa's crocodiles face stiff competition for their food. Fortunately for them, they are blessed with an even greater variety of prey. Over millions of years, these two factors have honed them into versatile, opportunistic hunters - master predators from the age of the dinosaurs.

Love the African folklore stories at the beginnings of these videos...

That was captivating !! I'm usually not to interested in crocodiles since you always get a video of shredded wilderbiests and zebras .But this was calming and beautifully done despite the BIG teeth:-) the croc mom is almost adorable in her care and isn't it funny how males of EVERY species make a fool of themselves to get a females attention :-))

To knock prey into their jaws? 🤔 ... not so sure about that... seen them use it defensively a lot but never that... can't even see how that would work

[@noelwos1071]

I have a Question! Just today, I introduced a new category of expression for an evolutionary step that is approximately 400 million years . A time in which genes transcend~ the material universal time of information transfer. life phenomenon . So following the evolution of alligator species I have a problem thinking given by today's observations that the difference in one degree Celsius makes the difference between the formation of male or female individuals. That the mother crocodile when laying eggs determines that temperature with the depth of egg burial! Although it is clear to me that the time of climate change lasts for tens of thousands and millions of years, it is not clear to me how alligator species have resisted and survived such changes? . And let's say species other than reptors didn't ??

Funny how it takes millions and millions of years to 'evolve' but somehow stops changing for 80 million years... like a very long list of other creatures. I question this theory more as I get older and smarter.

[@chaytonsheargold3210]

Well if you’re interested, and open to learn. I think where you have, and many other people get a little stuck with the concept of evolution is the thought that evolution is progress to more advanced and better forms. That’s actually not what evolution is. More correctly, it is adaptation to the current environment and lifestyle of the organism. For crocodiles and alligators, evolution hasn’t stopped, it simply has not had to change many features as the crocodilian form is best suited for its habitat and lifestyle, outside influences that have not changed much for them over the past 80 million years. If an organism, like sharks or crocodiles attain features that are absolutely optimum for their lifestyle, and if the environment dose not change drastically, (or they have adaptations to cope with a lot of environments), there is no need for what is termed “selection pressure”. There’s no need to select new adaptations, if the current model already works. I hope that makes sense. Please comment if you have any further questions, I’d be happy to reply. If not, check out this book (It’s free as an audiobook on KZbin) “Greatest Show on Earth” it’s a brilliant explanation of evolution, and written in a way that keeps it interesting the whole way through.

I have heard that if crocodiles are injected with HIV or COVID-19 viruses they don’t get sick or die! Is this true?

[@brianmincher716]

Do you or I need to worry about Dutch Elm Disease attacking us?

[@chaytonsheargold3210]

Well, I don’t know if anyone has done that, but those viruses target humans specifically, if you injected it into a parrot, or a fish, nothing would happen. The same is true if you injected a crocodile specific virus into a human. Nothing would happen. Having said that, sometimes two viruses specific to say a pig and a cow, can meet and exchange information. The new viruses made from this exchange can infect both species. This is called zoonosis, hence swine flu, when a human and pig viruses met, or bird flu, when chicken and human viruses met.
