The jaguar catching the aligator was honestly the most impressive and horrifying thing ive ever seen😮
Whoever had the patience and fortitude to get these shots...YOU ARE AWESOME
The videography in this documentary is fantastic. National Geographic has outdone itself with this film.
*THE JAGUAR KILL WAS THE BEST KILL I'VE EVERRRRR WITNESSED IN MY LIFE!!!!THANK YOU NATGEO!!!!!!*
simply don't care what an other may say, Bear Grylls is a perfect narrator and presence for this type of Doc. great cadence, i am rapt.
Always respect the power and hunting prowess of the Cat species...the true king of the Jungle is the Jaguar hands down, took that 9ft Caymen like it was nothing, in it's own element too
Best Photography and Best Analysis. Thank you for the director and cinematographer
these people that have filmed this documentary should be paid millions of dollars......they are incredible people that i would like to meet......
Jaguars are truly the kings of the jungle. They must be the strongest & most fierce of the big cats rivaled in strength & fierocity only by the leopards of Africa & a few in the Middle Eas. Lions are in a class of their own & cannot be compared to the lighter weight big cats. Jaguars are super cats of South America. They are like leopards on steroids. It's impossible to guess how strong a jaguar truly is. I have seen a jaguar that swam against the current of the Amazon River for 2+ hours on a desperate hunt for prey. The cat hadn't fed in at least a week so it was on the verge of starving yet it had the will, strength & stamina to carry on ultimately making a kill in order to survive. It is mind boggling the strength it took to swim for 2+ hours against a strong current. Then, still have the strength to hunt down & kill a large Black caiman paralysing it with one bite to its skull then, haul its heavy body up a steep bank & into the judgle where it could feed in peace. The will & endurance it takes for wild animals to survive & thrive in the respective environments in which they live is truly beyond the comprehension of our puny human brains. Anyone who's ever handled even a small wild animal can atest to their incredible & major strength compared to domestic animals. Jaguars truly are the badasses of the big cat world. Brutal & beautiful predators that have earned the right to live undisturbed & free from fear. They must remain a protected species & ppl who kill them for any reason should be prosecuted & convicted to serve plenty of time in prison. Ranchers are compensated for any livestock jaguars may kill. The ranchers must not retaliate against a jaguar simply doing what it must to survive in an incredibly harsh world. Humans brought cattle into areas where jaguars live & hunt so, humans are responsible if cattle are killed by jaguars. The jaguar is just doing what it is programmed to do in order to survive in a really brutal environment.
A truly beautiful piece of art ,calms me beyond. Thank you NatGeo ❤
One of the best documentaries I've seen in a while
3:45 i love the way the capybara gasps 😂😂
The jaguar catching the alligator is the most impressive and horrifying thing I’ve ever seen! Absolutely breathtaking!
National Geographic thanks for all the excellent programs and the people who bring these great programs
Thanks for sharing the full episode!
Wow. What an epic production, unbelievable.
3:45 Uhm, the Capybara BARKED? Tell me this was a joke lol.
Since photographers are using drones they are creating some of the most astonishing video & photos.
Every wild animal documentary leaves me in awe of the natural world 🌿
The jaguar taking down the alligator was absolutely astonishing — both terrifying and incredible at the same time. It’s a powerful reminder of how intense and raw nature can be. I couldn’t look away!
