  1. Isn’t it awesome when there’s good news in Nature? For 20 years the Boteti River in northern Botswana has not flowed. What was once an expansive and prolific body of water gradually dried up, leaving zebras, hippos, elephants and crocodiles dependent on the few pools formed from the occasional rains.

    But now, for the first time in 30 years, rain has fallen in sufficient quantities hundreds of miles to the north in the Angolan highlands, sending a stream of water through the river bed. After years of extreme drought, the river has finally returned in all its glory, transforming the landscape. Good news for nature!

  2. It must be so annoying for elephants having to co-exist with other less intelligent species when they're one of the few highly intelligent and complex mammals with self-awareness, empathy, and body-awareness

  3. Question for everybody what do the crocodile use to dig the hole during the drought? How do they make the hole .you feel dumb huh?😂😂😂😂 put your answer down in the comments if you’re so smart to see what you got

  4. Crocodiles, dig holes to create artificial ponds that will retain water during droughts. This behavior is known as gator holes. The alligators, powerful tails are used to create holes, which serve as a source for animals during dry periods.

  5. I feel sad for these poor animals facing the worst drought. Government has to make bore well and fill these ponds with water during summer season and save animals.

  6. Did the silt out so there is many more deep 12ft plus deep pool along the river when it flows it fills when there is drought the pools will be there, but man also needs to shade these pools, to watch/ film this and do nothing

  7. Saw This Excellent Documentary On TV A Couple Of Weeks Ago About The Boteti River In Botswana And The Migration Of The Zebras And Elephants To Find Water Which Brings Life To The Parched Land! The Crocodiles And Hippos Also Appear!🦓🐘🐊🦛🏜🏞🇧🇼

  8. I feel genuinely sad for the animals, especially the crocodiles who had to dig caves to protect themselves from the heat, I imagine having to do that without a shovel.

  9. This commentator 🤔, the guy talking 😁 (…its been a hard night's work, squeeze me) has the perfect voice for the job. The tone, the tempo are perfect. Take note You tube docu' makers 😘

  11. You've played into the puppet show both sides are playing. "Enforce the American laws and charge business owners for hiring illegals". Supply and demand dries up, Green cards are requested properly, this game ends. Your playing the sides game which is divide the peasants and make them fight between themselves.

  12. A simple conclusion that is NEVER mentioned in these videos . Elephants need 250 liters of water a day . Are they housebroken ? NO ! So , while standing in the pool , drinking all this water , they are
    ^/..^/..^/ – ing back into the water . Question is not HOW MUCH they are drinking , but W**H**A**T ! !
    YUCK ! !

  13. thank you for your seriousness as the call of other life forms is that our hands and mines I have various researchers and studies that I am needing to have the resource of a laboratory able to construct the procedures of our steps of safety and acknowledgments to those other the other life forms but the grand teachings that we may hold at a greater enable being able to have the generous donation that I received in the last I was able to set mini constructions through our spacecraft that are still existing today and they may need an update maintenance control as many people were aware in the various years they have kept a great deception and lies for pornography and many other dark acknowledgments to one another's life we should be experiencing the grandest part of life being able to move to New extraordinary houses and places having the extraordinary equipment that is are accessibility from one another and are most awesome awesome understandings
