Sanctuary | Katavi: Africa's Fallen Paradise

Katavi National Park is typically a lush paradise for wildlife in Tanzania. However, the upcoming dry season looms more threatening than ever before. Meet the hippo, crocodile and lion families who must navigate this change of seasons.

When a mother crocodile leaves her nest unattended, a Nile monitor takes the opportunity to steal her eggs. The mother returns to protect most of her eggs but the disturbance sets off a mass hatching.

A crocodile could easily devour a stork in a single snap of its jaws. Instead, these waterhole crocodiles form an unexpected alliance with the birds. Working together, they create a floating dam, trapping helpless catfish in their collaboration.
