I see a quiz in your future. A Congo River quiz. In the meantime, sit back and just be amazed. Seriously. The congregation of thousands of fruit bats, the Shoebill bird, the weird fish with lungs that can survive in a mud hole for up to two years and that’s just in the first 15 minutes. There are 800 different fish types in this river and not all sections of the river have been explored yet. Yep. Be amazed. Anyone out there actually seen, touched, experienced the Congo? Please let us know! Comments below 👇🏼
Friends one calamity's that are going on around the world will lead to a Sunday Law Which will The Mark Of The Beast, Those that keep gods seventh day sabbath will be prohibited from buying and sell and persecuted. Jesus is coming are you ready?
I'm so thankful that we live in a time where we're able to be in our homes watching these amazing documentaries for free. I've always loved documentaries but especially ones from nature. I had no idea there were so many others who love them as well! Thank you from my heart for posting these! ❤️💚🤎🖤🤍💛
Forget being home. I rather be at all the cool places in documentaries. I would love to explore Africa, the Amazon jungle and more. The greatest experience is being there
Victoria..your so right..personally, l don't like the direction WE are being guided by the computer but..my years of 70..l would certainly have had to pay to see such a well done documentary..Pliene des bon doc's Victoria...
It's got some evil looking eyes!!! Before the flood there was these huge birds that could easily kill a human and a lot of animals!!! They had a huge beak like the shoebill and they used it like a hammer!!!
thank you but we did not produce the documentary, we licensed it - that means we contribute with our licensing fees to help finance past and future documentaries. Like many channels do. But thank you and we will pass on the praise to the filmmakers.
Getting under water shots of whatever your filming but even more so the smaller fish is just amazing to me. Not having air bubbles from the regulator mess up your shots or anything else getting in the way just always amazes me. Great camera work!
*The Congo River is one of the most fascinating and biologically diverse rivers in the world. Its waters teem with a stunning variety of fish, including several species that are found nowhere else on earth. The river also supports a range of other wildlife, from hippos and crocodiles to primates and birds. However, the sheer scale and complexity of the Congo's ecosystem can also lead to encounters with some formidable creatures, earning it the moniker "River of Monsters".*
If the Shoebill has more then 1 chick it picks the biggest/strongest and only feeds and gives water to that 1. That chick will usually end up killing the others.
An unusual film -scary, breathtaking and sometimes cruel and severe among the wild world of animal;I was looking it with great interest ,learning the natural world of the Wild Congo. Thanks for this video the creators.
The only thing unusual, at least in part 1, is the absence of some global warming pitch.... I'm about to watch part 2. Bet my A/C electric bill it's in part 2.
it really is. These nature doc filmmakers spend - literally - years capturing amazing footage. It takes patience, perseverance to never give up and I’m sure lots of bug bites while waiting in the high grass, for a wild animal to pass by.
Very enjoyable and educational. Very interesting to observe the simplicity; yet effectiveness, of the primitive boating and fishing traps still used today. I'd love to know how many patient hours were put into the photography of this film. Spectacular footage. Now that's an interesting profession! Thank you for this video
@@rubend9391 they could've done away with the absolute obvious nonsense that the bats add 10 tons of weight to each tree because that would be over 320,000 bats because they weigh 9 ounces each. Colourful narration is fine for me, but obviously incorrect information is not.
@@jasondashney your math is crazy wrong. After they eat they weigh up to 27 ounces. That's 1.68 pounds. 10 tons is 20,000 pounds. 20,000 ÷ 1.68 is 11,904 bats per tree. So I have no idea how you came up with 300+ thousand bats per tree but you're way off. You added a decimal or something AND didn't account for them eating twice their weight in fruit.
@@themonsterbaby your math is crazy wrong" I did a google search and every single answer came in around 9oz. All of them. Where do you get the information that they triple their weight after eating? I wasn't able to find it.
And from the current capital of insanity everything, the US. The capital of 🤡world. Denver Colorado to be more precise. How are your countries doing these days? Best of luck to you All in the coming years. 🙏🙏
The congo river is certainly one of the coolest rivers on the planet...along with the Mekong, Yellow, and basically every major river of South America.
@@tommurphree5630 Being a southern American, I can say that the big muddy Miss is my absolute favorite of all rivers. Watching its flood stage from the bluffs of Vicksburg, MS is an intimidating sight to behold.
Thanks for this nat.geo and the free docu.about these animals I grow up watching this kind of docu back in my childhood Now i have my own family and have a son Im still watching 😘
Absolutely stunning picture quality, showing the dodo like Shoebill to the massive African rock pyphon in all their eerie glory..... and an excellent sound recording, amazing natural history programme.... Thank you and well done.
Extremely interesting and well put together documentary with excellent information on some very rare species. Captured by some astounding film work. Look fwd to the next.
Thank you for this great documentary.. Caught my eye the cutest baby elephant following mom @44:36 The young calf @46:29 what an adorable sight....one of the best animal doc lve ever seen....
Enjoyed your video! We recently returned from a photo safari to the Masai Mara and Kenya. What a beautiful part of the world. I created some on my best videos while in Kenya.

This is an exceptionally beautiful and informative documentary. It teaches receptive humans compassion, acceptance, and some tools for survival in our challenging world.
Absolutely lovely video that gives first class entertainment and education on wildlife in the Congo river basin, thanks so much for the hard work of preparing this lovely documentary, wish you all well.
My heart pounded in my chest as I witnessed the fierce battle between the lion and the injured leopard. Animal fights are a testament to the survival of the fittest.
Grateful for the ones who go out and video these amazing shows .how cool it must be at time for them to sit back and say wait I get paid for this . 😆 Lol
Have been watching this channel from the last two years and the video which got me here is a documentary on bohemian forest ( heart of europe) also it's my favourite
When I watch videos like this which is so amazing it makes me know that it took an almighty God to create these beautiful wonders on earth. So how beautiful heaven must be
Thanks. A wonderful dicumentary. Shoe bill and lungfish truly impressed me. Looking at the bats migration and look at them eating all the fruits was incredible. Love looking at the elephants, despite they were keeping in the mud. It is part of their natural habits though. Looking forward to see more documentaries about Africa.
The best 'monster' of the congo are the hydrocynus ...... At first a rumour then video footage of one taking a swallow in flight ! a difficult task for any animal let alone a fish. Great video.....
It's so fascinating to see how animals adapt and live in harmony with their surroundings, unlike humans, hey look, a beautiful valley, let's pave it over with asphalt.
Uh Congo! you never stop to amaze me. With all these natural resources, you are still the poorest country in the world. No country in the world comes close to what you have.

Wonderfull show about a wonderfull place
You should be my girlfriend. We will be watching them together.
Somehow I just feel like our nature and animals are so lucky to have Congo where human can not touch and damage its nature. Bro Congoooo🎉
Paradise on earth
Nature is freaking scary
Absolutely beauty sight .The Congo is the heart and lungs of Africa
That line about the shoebill actually being a sneaker was actually a really good piece of writing
Jurassic Park!
Africa is such an amazing continent 😃
Yep, the motherland 😊
Yet to develope and become humans
Bro that shoebill bird is the most diabolical looking animal I ever seen. Reminds me of " iT the clown "🤣
Imagine if they ostrich sized
There used to be birds like that called terror birds
😅😅
They're lovely though... you bow, they bow... then chatter their beaks and it sounds like gunshots
It's got some evil looking eyes!!!
Before the flood there was these huge birds that could easily kill a human and a lot of animals!!!
They had a huge beak like the shoebill and they used it like a hammer!!!
😅😅😅
Thanks to the Free Documentary Nature Team for producing some of the best documentaries that help us a lot to understand the African Continent.
thank you but we did not produce the documentary, we licensed it - that means we contribute with our licensing fees to help finance past and future documentaries. Like many channels do. But thank you and we will pass on the praise to the filmmakers.
Absolutely fantastic documentary. The amount of detail that this provides is extraordinary

Excellent job, thankyou!😊😊😊
Those lungfish fascinate me, strange creatures
This is so cool I'm glad we have nature nature is so sick I'm glad we have nature we all love it
Half of what your seeing is recorded in tanks. 100 fact

Would you ever swim in that river? I think it's absolutely terrifying, not knowing what mysterious creatures that lurk below
Not on your life. Sorry@@cwatson42785
Imagine if someone managed to film the Mokele Mbembe, sauropod dinosaur which still roamed the Congo wetlands in the 1950s.
Shoebills are without a doubt the creepiest birds I’ve ever seen!!😳
Scary looking.
The dinosaur shoe bill looks evil and he's a canabal .I absolutely loved this documentary.😊
If the Shoebill has more then 1 chick it picks the biggest/strongest and only feeds and gives water to that 1. That chick will usually end up killing the others.
Right 🤣 some ppl in villages have them as pets too..
@@timstar28 Do they really 😆That's so cool little dinosaurs for pets 😆😆😆😆

They could've done away with the " like a Roman orgy" part though, with the bats.

That SHOEBILL looks like something off of the Flintstones. Such a gorgeous dinosaur 🦕 looking bird.
This is an exceptionally beautiful and informative documentary. It teaches receptive humans compassion, acceptance, and some tools for survival in our challenging world.
I love the fact that people finally want to explore the last place we yet to go on this Plante other then the ocean.
Absolutely lovely video that gives first class entertainment and education on wildlife in the Congo river basin, thanks so much for the hard work of preparing this lovely documentary, wish you all well.
To seal a vent,
Bird 🐦 is definitely the scariest Bird on the planet Shoe Bill 🐦😈💚
the shoebill seems very determined and focused
I thought I saw one in TX. We get birds from all over the world. I just know it was big and flew right for the van
My heart pounded in my chest as I witnessed the fierce battle between the lion and the injured leopard. Animal fights are a testament to the survival of the fittest.
Beautiful documentary 👍

Awesome documentary! I love the congo. I wanna go there someday

The lady hippos could not take their eyes from the fight. Awesome!
It's not evolution but God who created all this beauty
Congo is an amazing place. Forest elephants are interesting.
Many thanks for the upload.
