In the dawn of life on Earth, long before the age of dinosaurs, a lineage of reptilian predators emerged from the primordial waters. Surviving through eons of geological upheaval and mass extinctions, these ancient creatures have remained virtually unchanged for over 200 million years. They are the crocodiles – living fossils that have outlasted countless other species, persisting as a powerful reminder of our planet's prehistoric past.

We'll explore the astonishing extremes that crocodiles can endure, slowing their metabolism to survive for months without food, basking in the sun to regulate their body temperature with precision. And we'll witness the fierce maternal instincts of crocodile mothers, fiercely guarding their young with a protective ferocity unmatched in the animal kingdom.
