In the daily struggle for survival, terrible thirst drives wildlife to
water...even when the water is just inches away from the jaws of a
crocodile. During one harsh season, a punishing drought draws some of
Africa's most magnificent creatures to the shrinking pools of the
Luvuvhu River. Its dwindling waters provide relief for baboons, impala,
elephants, lions, water birds and bee-eaters - but also a refuge for
scores of hungry crocodiles. Amidst the stunning scenes of nature at its
harshest, strange things happen. A baby crocodile basks on top of a
hippopotamus. Baboons attack a crocodile that has taken a youngster from
the troop. Crocodiles harass a heron and steal its hard-won catch. And
hippos calmly wade into the middle of a crocodile feeding frenzy. But
the power of nature and her relentless drought may prove greater than
even that of the most fearsome beasts. This cruel season may turn out to
be the LAST FEAST OF THE CROCODILES.
