Crocodiles - Caring Killers

This documentary portrays crocodiles not only as clever hunters, but also as caring parents: crocodile mothers watch over their brood for more than three months. To protect their eggs from thieves, they enlist the aid of curlews, birds who share the same marshy habitat. Once the babies have hatched, the mother carries them gently to the water. In addition to the sensational highspeed images, this film stands out for the first-ever recording of certain behavioral aspects of the giant lizards. (official distributor synopsis)
