How
to Catch a Crocodile Running Time: 1 x 26 mins
Think you’ve got what it
takes to catch a crocodile!?
This unbelievable look at
how a brave team of crocodile researchers trap and sample these
enormous reptiles will convince you otherwise. Aliki Strydom and her
research team are studying the crocodiles’ role as a keystone species
in the local eco-system. They desperately need to gather more
information on the crocodiles to be used in a management strategy to
help the locals see this vital species as an asset rather than a
threat. Wrangling huge crocodiles on a daily basis, they work
from a rustic bush camp in the heart of the Okavango Delta.
This mind-blowing documentary reveals the lengths that Aliki will go to
collect the samples she needs. Watching her wrestling a 4 metre long
crocodile into submission with a noose is an impressive sight, but you
only truly realize the measure of Aliki as she inserts her whole hand
into a crocodile’s cloacae in search of the all important urine sample!
