Freshwater is our most precious resource and controls the distribution of all terrestrial life. This episode follows the descent of rivers from their mountain sources to the sea and showcases the unique and dramatic wildlife found within their unexplored waters. Witness entirely unique and dramatic moments of animal behaviour, such as the epic showdown between family groups of Indian smooth-coated otters and mugger crocodiles. There’s also the breathtaking spectacle of Nile crocodiles pulling down wildebeest, filmed for the first time on ultra-high-speed camera.
