It's also free energy. Birds will eat unfertilized eggs to get some of their energy back, so eating a damaged egg is definitely not out of the question.
Thanks so much for supporting our work! We love doing it we won't stop creating videos. btw: our #terramatters community - including you- is awesome too!
Man these things are real interesting cause just because crocs are big they cant always be there to protect them so they need a helper and the helper needs help.
How close this biom looks to northern Australian wetlands is amazing. Crocodiles, kingfishers, plovers and the thicknee who looks remarkably like a Curlew, surely they are related species.
@Event Horizon well what we eat aren't fertilised eggs those are so that's in my opinion a huge difference but the bird for example eats the egg because he wants the nutritions and it only care about the eggs instinctively not emotionally
The crocodile seems to have warned the momma bird: *your eggs are above ground, these damn monitors can smell your eggs so much easily* * Crushes one of the two eggs * *i should get rid of both but you did me a favor today, there, you can keep one of them*
Before we feel bad for the birdie, lets remember all eggs would have been devoured by an evil lizard. Acceptable losses in nature is a real thing sadly. This teamwork is badass either way, who would of thought. A bird and croc trying to work together.
A creature like that huge lizard is also found in my village it is called as 'Goah' but many people even in my state are not aware of it ,forget about the country.

Phillipeans? I am curious because Political Animals is developed by a game studio from there. All the animals seem to play heavily to political references, concepts, parties, nations, or individuals(elephant for GOP, bulldog for Churchill, hawk for pro-war militarists, etc.) Curious whether "croc" refers to a corrupt politician in Phillipeans specifically, the general region, or someplace else entirely.

These small animal documentaries help so much with simply relaxing and reducing my daily anxiety, especially with the background music.

I love how this comment about to escalated into an internet argument but quickly back to positive comment.
wicked nature. Thicknee has to eat remains of her eggs so as to avoid more predators..
It's also free energy. Birds will eat unfertilized eggs to get some of their energy back, so eating a damaged egg is definitely not out of the question.
In Nature, every bit of energy is precious, that's why nothing is wasted and everything is transformed.
At that point, the living egg is the priority
@@ludwigvanmichael1183
if there is a abundance if food, food is actually wasted. Of course something else will come around and use it but still...
I know should have at least cooked it first

The second the mother thick-nee's egg smashed by the traitor crocodile my heart got broken like her egg🥺💔
The crock was not the traitor. She stopped at bird's warnings. Unfortunately she is too big and clumsy so she smashed one egg. It's still very sad.
Lol

They are part of the same family as the Curlew in Australia, just different species.

A dinosaur and a crocodile working together is something unique.
Uhm crocodiles are dinosaurs you know

Plot twist: the birds are secretly financing Monitor's attacks on crocodiles, benefitting from the higher tension and risk of conflict.

Then maybe you shouldn't be hunting them

Bird probably: "Whats up, bro? Whats up? You want these eggs? Square up, bro. Whats up?"
I did not get it? What does this bird have for its service to the crocodiles?
I guess not getting eaten and maybe all of its eggs not getting destroyed/eaten too?
