1
00:00:01,485 --> 00:00:04,525
We're coming back
in the Steve Irwin Reserve!
2
00:00:04,605 --> 00:00:09,286
Every year, me, Bindi and Robert go
in the Steve Irwin Reserve...
3
00:00:09,366 --> 00:00:10,525
Now!
4
00:00:10,605 --> 00:00:13,006
... let's study crocodiles.
5
00:00:15,405 --> 00:00:18,165
He's big, he's strong and he knows it.
6
00:00:19,925 --> 00:00:23,045
He gathers his strength,
then they crash all around.
7
00:00:23,366 --> 00:00:26,326
Catch him on this side!
8
00:00:26,885 --> 00:00:28,485
On him!
9
00:00:29,445 --> 00:00:31,565
There would be something in this world
10
00:00:31,646 --> 00:00:35,525
to determine me
should I give up what I'm doing now?
11
00:00:36,405 --> 00:00:37,405
Yes.
12
00:00:38,245 --> 00:00:40,966
To see my children in condition
13
00:00:42,085 --> 00:00:46,966
to take the baton from me and fight
to protect the species.
14
00:00:54,045 --> 00:00:56,006
AUSTRALIA ZOO, HOME
THE CROCODILE HUNTER
15
00:00:58,326 --> 00:01:01,445
I used to talk to Steve often
about our dream
16
00:01:01,525 --> 00:01:07,165
for Australia Zoo to be the largest
zoo in the world.
17
00:01:08,366 --> 00:01:11,326
It's like a luxury resort
for animals.
18
00:01:11,405 --> 00:01:14,765
You come into direct contact with the animals.
19
00:01:16,245 --> 00:01:19,925
You see them, you feel them. It's extraordinary!
20
00:01:20,205 --> 00:01:23,405
We want like wild animals
to be numerous
21
00:01:23,485 --> 00:01:26,725
and let's have a beautiful world
for the next generations.
22
00:01:27,646 --> 00:01:34,006
We carry on the father's mission,
fulfilling his goals.
23
00:01:39,445 --> 00:01:43,165
I'm proud to be a part of something
24
00:01:43,245 --> 00:01:46,205
what grew
beyond Steve's expectations.
25
00:01:50,966 --> 00:01:55,165
STEVE IRWIN'S LEGACY
26
00:02:00,006 --> 00:02:06,045
The crocodiles survived
dinosaurs, glaciations
27
00:02:06,125 --> 00:02:10,485
and hunters
to the point of extinction.
28
00:02:12,366 --> 00:02:15,925
I'm at the top of the food chain,
they are apex predators
29
00:02:16,006 --> 00:02:18,686
and has existed for 200 million years.
30
00:02:21,286 --> 00:02:23,165
They were Steve's favorites.
31
00:02:23,765 --> 00:02:26,366
Sorry, Victor.
Come on, grab your feet!
32
00:02:26,445 --> 00:02:29,925
I'm tickling you! That's right, boy!
33
00:02:30,006 --> 00:02:33,646
When Steve began to study them,
by 1980,
34
00:02:33,725 --> 00:02:36,845
they had already dwindled drastically.
35
00:02:36,925 --> 00:02:40,646
The crocodiles were shot
and hunted for their skins.
36
00:02:40,725 --> 00:02:45,725
He spent half a year at a time
in the wild
37
00:02:45,805 --> 00:02:47,485
catching them and trying to help them.
38
00:02:50,366 --> 00:02:54,565
Steve was passionately protective
these animals.
39
00:02:54,646 --> 00:03:00,165
Everyone from the rescue team
I work hard,
40
00:03:00,245 --> 00:03:03,525
to find out more
about these modern dinosaurs.
41
00:03:05,006 --> 00:03:08,245
Steve's studies must
carried on
42
00:03:08,326 --> 00:03:12,245
because saltwater crocodiles
they are still a vulnerable species.
43
00:03:13,165 --> 00:03:16,925
So every year, one month at a time,
44
00:03:17,006 --> 00:03:21,445
Me, Bindi and Robert are going north,
let's study crocodiles
45
00:03:21,525 --> 00:03:26,006
and mediate
their conflicts with people.
46
00:03:26,085 --> 00:03:32,125
I am driven by curiosity,
but also of necessity.
47
00:03:34,565 --> 00:03:38,885
THE STEVE IRWIN BOOKING
CAPE YORK, QUEENSLAND
48
00:03:45,245 --> 00:03:50,286
It's the most amazing place in the world.
49
00:03:50,366 --> 00:03:53,646
Below us we see the Steve Irwin Reserve.
50
00:03:57,165 --> 00:04:03,805
The reservation has been established
after Steve's accident in 2006.
51
00:04:03,885 --> 00:04:07,125
There was a cattle farm here.
52
00:04:07,205 --> 00:04:10,286
Now the field is
owned by the government
53
00:04:10,366 --> 00:04:14,045
and I was able to open
this reservation.
54
00:04:15,125 --> 00:04:22,565
This stunning wilderness area
it's as big as Chicago and New York combined.
55
00:04:22,646 --> 00:04:27,925
There are 135 ha of protected land here.
56
00:04:28,525 --> 00:04:34,326
I first came to Cape York
with Steve 25 years ago.
57
00:04:34,405 --> 00:04:37,725
He felt at home in the wilderness.
58
00:04:37,805 --> 00:04:41,045
For me, it was a magical land.
59
00:04:41,525 --> 00:04:42,845
Here's another one!
60
00:04:43,485 --> 00:04:45,205
Another one! That's bullshit.
61
00:04:45,286 --> 00:04:48,326
- Research the nest well!
- That's what I do.
62
00:04:48,405 --> 00:04:50,646
I have reached the bottom of the pit.
63
00:04:50,725 --> 00:04:52,525
We'll let them go here.
64
00:04:52,606 --> 00:05:00,125
I caught a crocodile for the first time
on the last trip with dad.
65
00:05:00,445 --> 00:05:04,165
Thank you! You are a reliable helper.
66
00:05:04,245 --> 00:05:10,045
On the next one, maybe you can help me
to make the knots.
67
00:05:10,405 --> 00:05:13,125
- I can do it!
- Good!
68
00:05:13,205 --> 00:05:18,006
Since then it has captivated me
the study of crocodiles.
69
00:05:18,085 --> 00:05:20,805
We set some traps,
let's catch more crocodiles tomorrow.
70
00:05:20,885 --> 00:05:22,165
- Yes.
- Okay.
71
00:05:22,245 --> 00:05:28,006
I don't even remember
since I study crocodiles.
72
00:05:29,405 --> 00:05:31,045
Bindi, catch him by the tail!
73
00:05:31,245 --> 00:05:33,565
I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps.
74
00:05:33,646 --> 00:05:38,485
I was excited to see him work.
75
00:05:38,885 --> 00:05:43,765
It made me feel three
generation of crocodile hunters.
76
00:05:43,845 --> 00:05:46,565
That fills me with pride.
77
00:05:53,686 --> 00:05:56,606
We're coming back
in the Steve Irwin Reserve!
78
00:05:56,686 --> 00:06:00,966
This year, we are catching new crocodiles
to monitor them.
79
00:06:01,045 --> 00:06:06,565
We will also catch older acquaintances,
let's see how I'm doing.
80
00:06:06,845 --> 00:06:09,885
- What excites you?
- To be with you.
81
00:06:11,245 --> 00:06:17,205
My main role is
to deal with the scientific part
82
00:06:17,286 --> 00:06:19,565
and I love it like crazy.
83
00:06:19,646 --> 00:06:22,765
I can't wait to catch crocodiles!
84
00:06:22,845 --> 00:06:26,725
I want to learn father's techniques.
85
00:06:26,805 --> 00:06:29,765
I am delighted
to sail the river...
86
00:06:29,845 --> 00:06:34,245
I love immobilizing crocodiles.
87
00:06:34,326 --> 00:06:40,445
Let me tell you how it was the first time.
88
00:06:40,525 --> 00:06:44,045
We had just gotten married in Oregon
and I got a phone call.
89
00:06:44,125 --> 00:06:48,725
A villain was trying to kill crocodiles
in a river in Australia.
90
00:06:49,205 --> 00:06:54,125
Steve asked me if I preferred
let's go on our honeymoon
91
00:06:54,205 --> 00:06:57,245
or try to save the crocodiles.
92
00:06:58,885 --> 00:07:06,045
Unfortunately, I didn't make it in time.
The big male had been shot.
93
00:07:06,606 --> 00:07:08,525
What a shame!
94
00:07:08,606 --> 00:07:10,525
He put a bullet in his head.
95
00:07:11,405 --> 00:07:13,725
And he died.
96
00:07:13,805 --> 00:07:17,525
I lost it. Great pity!
97
00:07:17,606 --> 00:07:23,485
If we convince people to
love and protect crocodiles,
98
00:07:23,565 --> 00:07:28,045
we will honor your father's work.
99
00:07:28,125 --> 00:07:31,286
We will all have to lose without them.
100
00:07:31,366 --> 00:07:36,006
Mud crabs and fish would disappear.
We must protect them.
101
00:07:37,686 --> 00:07:41,405
To get to the camp,
we have to pass the Stones pass.
102
00:07:41,485 --> 00:07:45,525
How interesting! It's kind of scary.
103
00:07:45,606 --> 00:07:50,765
There are deep pits, huge rocks
and in the river there are a lot of crocodiles.
104
00:07:51,926 --> 00:07:57,125
Well done! The River Wenlock is turbulent.
105
00:07:57,205 --> 00:07:59,125
We leave the car windows down.
106
00:07:59,205 --> 00:08:04,445
If something goes wrong,
so we can get out as soon as possible.
107
00:08:04,525 --> 00:08:08,606
- Now you climb the threshold.
- Yes.
108
00:08:08,686 --> 00:08:11,525
So this is the threshold... Perfect!
109
00:08:11,606 --> 00:08:13,805
How furious are the waters!
110
00:08:14,125 --> 00:08:16,205
How good!
111
00:08:16,286 --> 00:08:18,765
- Let's catch a crocodile!
- Yes!
112
00:08:18,845 --> 00:08:21,966
- We will catch a crocodile.
- Today!
113
00:08:22,245 --> 00:08:25,765
We feel great
when we enter the property.
114
00:08:26,885 --> 00:08:28,966
COOLIBAH CAMP
115
00:08:29,045 --> 00:08:30,565
Beautiful!
116
00:08:30,646 --> 00:08:32,686
- Hello!
- Hello!
117
00:08:32,765 --> 00:08:34,366
How do you do ?
118
00:08:34,445 --> 00:08:38,205
I like the camaraderie
of the team.
119
00:08:38,286 --> 00:08:41,006
Hugs for everyone!
120
00:08:41,085 --> 00:08:42,205
Hello, friend!
121
00:08:42,286 --> 00:08:46,205
With Professor Craig Franklin
from the University of Queensland
122
00:08:46,286 --> 00:08:50,525
we have been collaborating for about 15 years.
123
00:08:50,606 --> 00:08:54,805
Your welcome ! Drop to the tank.
124
00:08:54,885 --> 00:08:58,565
Toby is the crocodile superhero.
125
00:08:58,646 --> 00:09:00,366
How hot!
126
00:09:00,445 --> 00:09:03,966
He is the head of the research team.
127
00:09:04,045 --> 00:09:10,646
I'll show you the trap plan.
I put 18 along the river.
128
00:09:10,725 --> 00:09:14,085
They are of several kinds.
Some are floating.
129
00:09:14,165 --> 00:09:19,845
Crocodiles swim up to the trap,
bite the bait and trigger it.
130
00:09:19,925 --> 00:09:21,765
We also have a dry trap.
131
00:09:21,845 --> 00:09:26,966
Crocodiles come out of the water, enter,
I take the meat and the trap closes.
132
00:09:27,525 --> 00:09:34,565
On both sides of Stones Pass
there were many appearances.
133
00:09:34,646 --> 00:09:37,326
- Which crocodile will it be?
- I think Drew.
134
00:09:37,405 --> 00:09:40,686
I hope we catch him. That would be wonderful.
135
00:09:40,765 --> 00:09:45,606
Drew is the fourth largest
captured on the River Wenlock.
136
00:09:45,686 --> 00:09:48,485
He's big, he's strong and he knows it.
137
00:09:48,565 --> 00:09:52,525
From what Craig tells us,
crosses the pass daily.
138
00:09:52,606 --> 00:09:54,845
We really want to catch him.
139
00:09:54,926 --> 00:09:57,765
It's very important
for our study.
140
00:09:57,845 --> 00:10:00,485
We catch it annually.
141
00:10:00,565 --> 00:10:06,245
If we catch him again,
we find out if they keep their territory,
142
00:10:06,326 --> 00:10:09,646
if it has rivals.
143
00:10:10,245 --> 00:10:12,686
Understanding the life of large crocodiles,
144
00:10:12,765 --> 00:10:19,045
we know the whole ecosystem
of these top predators.
145
00:10:20,966 --> 00:10:23,245
FIRST DAY
146
00:10:23,326 --> 00:10:26,245
every morning
we tour the traps.
147
00:10:27,205 --> 00:10:31,245
I check the 18 traps with Toby.
148
00:10:31,326 --> 00:10:35,845
If we see a crocodile,
we notify the base and process it.
149
00:10:35,926 --> 00:10:37,805
Let's catch a crocodile!
150
00:10:50,926 --> 00:10:52,725
Here is the first trap!
151
00:10:53,525 --> 00:10:56,606
Crocodiles are active
especially at night.
152
00:10:56,686 --> 00:10:58,966
In addition, it prefers high flow
of the river.
153
00:10:59,045 --> 00:11:02,085
I set the traps
at the highest water level.
154
00:11:02,165 --> 00:11:06,445
We see that none of them have been triggered.
The lead is still there.
155
00:11:06,525 --> 00:11:09,205
We see the bait right in front of the trap.
156
00:11:09,286 --> 00:11:10,885
- The next one!
- Yes.
157
00:11:13,885 --> 00:11:18,525
We see crocodiles of all sizes
and ages, males and females.
158
00:11:18,606 --> 00:11:22,845
They all teach us something
about their living.
159
00:11:22,926 --> 00:11:27,525
There is no crocodile,
but the bait is out of place, it's good.
160
00:11:27,606 --> 00:11:30,845
Now we know where they go and what they do.
161
00:11:30,926 --> 00:11:35,885
These details will help us
to coexist with them.
162
00:11:37,085 --> 00:11:38,966
The gate is left!
163
00:11:40,845 --> 00:11:45,125
- There's a crocodile in the trap.
- Yes!
164
00:11:54,525 --> 00:11:56,885
THE STEVE IRWIN BOOKING
CAPE YORK, QUEENSLAND
165
00:11:56,966 --> 00:12:01,366
The gate is left.
It means there's a crocodile in the trap.
166
00:12:02,286 --> 00:12:07,286
Robert and I are checking
if it sits well in the trap.
167
00:12:07,366 --> 00:12:09,445
Crocodiles can bite through the cage.
168
00:12:09,525 --> 00:12:12,606
Do not approach the other side
of the barricade.
169
00:12:12,686 --> 00:12:14,326
I understood.
170
00:12:15,205 --> 00:12:19,966
He seems to be safe. The most
the important thing is that it is in the shade.
171
00:12:20,046 --> 00:12:24,926
We will process it later,
after we check the other traps.
172
00:12:27,485 --> 00:12:30,606
It's great that we're hanging out
in the Steve Irwin Reserve,
173
00:12:30,686 --> 00:12:33,125
doing what we love:
catching crocodiles.
174
00:12:33,966 --> 00:12:37,445
All the animals in the area,
even from land,
175
00:12:37,525 --> 00:12:40,805
I'm doing well
thanks to saltwater crocodiles.
176
00:12:42,046 --> 00:12:45,926
Robert is out with Tobi
to check the traps.
177
00:12:46,006 --> 00:12:51,405
I handle the scientific part,
checking the equipment.
178
00:12:51,485 --> 00:12:55,205
We have the suture kit,
the transmitters... We are ready.
179
00:12:55,286 --> 00:13:01,565
I came to the reservation
precisely for these small devices.
180
00:13:01,646 --> 00:13:07,085
We implant them with acoustic detectors
behind the front leg.
181
00:13:07,165 --> 00:13:11,245
When I pass a transmitter,
182
00:13:11,326 --> 00:13:15,085
we find their position along the river.
183
00:13:15,165 --> 00:13:18,286
Satellite detectors
they are different.
184
00:13:18,366 --> 00:13:24,805
They transmit the position of the crocodile
no matter where they are in the world.
185
00:13:24,885 --> 00:13:28,845
The crocodiles do not notice their presence
and they come off by themselves after a while.
186
00:13:28,926 --> 00:13:30,326
Perfect!
187
00:13:30,405 --> 00:13:36,885
If we retrieve the detectors,
we get fresh data.
188
00:13:37,885 --> 00:13:42,845
This long-term study is
essential for the conservation of the species.
189
00:13:45,485 --> 00:13:50,245
We learned that crocodiles can swim
65 km per day.
190
00:13:51,445 --> 00:13:57,046
They can orient themselves,
finding the way home.
191
00:13:57,646 --> 00:14:03,885
We find out how their temperature reacts
to climate change.
192
00:14:04,525 --> 00:14:09,485
We need this knowledge
to protect both crocodiles and people.
193
00:14:09,565 --> 00:14:12,165
We have everything we need.
194
00:14:12,245 --> 00:14:14,485
Everything is packed and ready.
195
00:14:14,565 --> 00:14:16,286
Let's go!
196
00:14:16,366 --> 00:14:20,565
If Robert calls, that's good.
We found crocodiles.
197
00:14:24,245 --> 00:14:27,006
We check all the traps
before we call base.
198
00:14:28,405 --> 00:14:29,726
Not. It's open!
199
00:14:29,805 --> 00:14:35,485
Sometimes we catch one in the last trap
and he is the only one.
200
00:14:35,885 --> 00:14:37,565
No, the gate is up.
201
00:14:37,646 --> 00:14:41,286
Maybe the crocodile is not well,
it is in the sun.
202
00:14:41,366 --> 00:14:44,445
That's why we prosecute them
in order of priorities.
203
00:14:44,525 --> 00:14:47,405
The trap is closed.
204
00:14:49,046 --> 00:14:53,085
There's one inside. Yes!
205
00:14:56,125 --> 00:14:58,606
- There's nothing there.
- Nothing.
206
00:15:05,245 --> 00:15:07,885
Maybe he triggered the trap from outside.
207
00:15:07,966 --> 00:15:10,405
This is where he entered the water.
208
00:15:10,485 --> 00:15:13,726
At least we will know the time
thanks to the front camera.
209
00:15:13,805 --> 00:15:18,205
The camera takes a series of photos
at ten minute intervals.
210
00:15:19,006 --> 00:15:22,805
We can see if the crocodiles come in
in the trap and does not trigger it.
211
00:15:22,885 --> 00:15:26,326
Almost his entire body is visible
in the trap.
212
00:15:26,405 --> 00:15:29,245
It is a very clever animal.
213
00:15:29,326 --> 00:15:33,966
He took the bait,
the trap closed, but he disappeared.
214
00:15:34,286 --> 00:15:36,805
At 05:19.
215
00:15:36,885 --> 00:15:40,565
The scales are large. It could be Drew.
216
00:15:41,326 --> 00:15:43,125
Yes, here it is!
217
00:15:43,205 --> 00:15:45,885
It is the essential crocodile
for our study.
218
00:15:48,926 --> 00:15:52,286
We have great success with traps,
so we call the base.
219
00:15:52,485 --> 00:15:53,726
Hello! what are you doing
220
00:15:53,805 --> 00:15:55,125
We will process the first crocodile.
221
00:15:55,405 --> 00:15:58,046
- We're on our way.
- Soon!
222
00:15:58,765 --> 00:16:00,565
Yes!
223
00:16:04,646 --> 00:16:07,006
I caught a crocodile from the first day.
224
00:16:07,085 --> 00:16:09,805
- I can't wait to see him!
- Me too.
225
00:16:13,686 --> 00:16:18,606
It is a crocodile almost 3 m long.
226
00:16:18,926 --> 00:16:25,726
We're going to lift the trap altogether.
We release his head area.
227
00:16:25,805 --> 00:16:27,805
We tie his jaws with string.
228
00:16:27,885 --> 00:16:34,686
Then we take him out of the trap,
we bring him here and tie him up.
229
00:16:34,765 --> 00:16:38,006
When Terri jumps on him,
not to open their jaws.
230
00:16:38,085 --> 00:16:40,206
He wrapped his muzzle about three times.
231
00:16:40,286 --> 00:16:46,006
Harrison is going to pull the strings for us
me and Robert.
232
00:16:46,086 --> 00:16:49,006
Robert learned at the zoo
how to feed crocodiles
233
00:16:49,086 --> 00:16:54,126
Today I will learn it
how to tie their upper jaw.
234
00:16:54,206 --> 00:16:55,206
Good.
235
00:16:55,286 --> 00:17:00,006
Robert accompanied us
since he came into the world.
236
00:17:00,086 --> 00:17:03,886
This year, I will learn it
how to get crocodiles out of traps.
237
00:17:03,966 --> 00:17:08,686
Having the string,
I never open the trap directly.
238
00:17:08,766 --> 00:17:12,526
In case he comes back, he can do it
anything, even run away here.
239
00:17:12,606 --> 00:17:17,726
I am excited to learn father's techniques.
240
00:17:17,806 --> 00:17:22,566
Someone is ready with the string.
If he returns, give the signal.
241
00:17:22,646 --> 00:17:28,646
I feel honored and proud
that I teach Robert
242
00:17:28,726 --> 00:17:31,046
what his father taught me.
243
00:17:31,766 --> 00:17:35,166
It's Toby's turn.
Will you be up to it?
244
00:17:35,246 --> 00:17:38,366
Do you want to be the team leader?
Do you accept the challenge?
245
00:17:39,446 --> 00:17:40,566
Very good!
246
00:17:41,166 --> 00:17:43,446
Carrying on Steve's legacy.
247
00:17:43,526 --> 00:17:50,046
We have invented new, safe techniques
to use in the future.
248
00:17:51,046 --> 00:17:55,206
- You pass the noose over his jaw.
- Yes.
249
00:17:55,446 --> 00:17:58,126
I pass the string over his teeth.
250
00:17:58,206 --> 00:18:03,726
When it's positioned, pull a little,
then take out the stick.
251
00:18:04,246 --> 00:18:07,886
If you pull too much,
the crocodile can roll.
252
00:18:07,966 --> 00:18:10,966
The string on the upper jaw
it is well placed.
253
00:18:11,046 --> 00:18:14,006
- Beautiful!
- Great! After it is fixed...
254
00:18:14,086 --> 00:18:15,766
We take him out of the cage.
255
00:18:15,846 --> 00:18:18,926
It takes until you sedate a crocodile.
256
00:18:19,006 --> 00:18:24,606
You can't release him while he's vulnerable,
other crocodiles will attack him.
257
00:18:24,686 --> 00:18:28,126
The safest
is to be targeted by people.
258
00:18:28,206 --> 00:18:30,766
Are you ready ? One, two, three, start!
259
00:18:30,846 --> 00:18:34,926
Beautiful! Slowly...
260
00:18:39,326 --> 00:18:40,526
I think he's tired.
261
00:18:40,606 --> 00:18:42,566
Now you will roll.
262
00:18:42,846 --> 00:18:44,406
I would be happy.
263
00:18:44,486 --> 00:18:48,926
Everyone must jump quickly
behind him.
264
00:18:49,406 --> 00:18:52,246
It is well wrapped.
The team can prepare.
265
00:18:52,326 --> 00:18:55,446
I wound the string five times
around the muzzle.
266
00:18:55,526 --> 00:18:58,166
- Can you get ready?
- We are ready.
267
00:18:58,246 --> 00:19:04,646
When he feels heavy,
blindfolded, the crocodile surrenders.
268
00:19:05,286 --> 00:19:07,446
- When you want, Terri.
- Yes.
269
00:19:09,926 --> 00:19:11,446
Adhesive tape. The eyes.
270
00:19:12,966 --> 00:19:14,646
Did you catch the back paw?
271
00:19:18,766 --> 00:19:23,926
After they all jumped on it,
we immobilize the legs and tail.
272
00:19:24,126 --> 00:19:27,886
With their help maybe
to roll or run away.
273
00:19:28,326 --> 00:19:32,646
I immobilized him at all points.
It's okay.
274
00:19:33,286 --> 00:19:35,926
We have two teams in this program:
275
00:19:36,006 --> 00:19:41,646
hunters and explorers,
i.e. Professor Craig and Bindi.
276
00:19:41,726 --> 00:19:45,286
- Craig, it's yours.
- Thanks, Toby.
277
00:19:45,366 --> 00:19:49,566
With Professor Craig Franklin
from the University of Queensland
278
00:19:49,646 --> 00:19:53,766
we have been collaborating for about 15 years.
279
00:19:53,846 --> 00:19:56,326
Cut to this length.
280
00:19:56,406 --> 00:20:00,406
It helps us organize programs
for visiting researchers
281
00:20:00,486 --> 00:20:06,086
and makes sure they are published
the results of our study.
282
00:20:06,846 --> 00:20:09,966
It's almost part of the family.
283
00:20:10,366 --> 00:20:15,446
- I shield my eyes when you use...
- The scalpel?
284
00:20:15,526 --> 00:20:17,486
Yes. does it bother you
285
00:20:17,566 --> 00:20:21,126
Bindi has been helping me for a long time.
286
00:20:21,206 --> 00:20:23,366
- That's great information.
- Thank you very much.
287
00:20:23,446 --> 00:20:27,126
I have seen her grow up since she was six years old.
288
00:20:27,206 --> 00:20:31,686
She became an organized nurse,
efficient and professional.
289
00:20:31,766 --> 00:20:33,526
Let's check!
290
00:20:33,606 --> 00:20:35,566
First, I check if he has a microchip.
291
00:20:36,206 --> 00:20:41,886
First, we find out if it's a new crocodile
or if he has been captured before.
292
00:20:41,966 --> 00:20:45,646
I don't detect any chip
along the length of the tail.
293
00:20:45,726 --> 00:20:49,846
If it's a new crocodile,
we determine if it is male or female.
294
00:20:50,606 --> 00:20:53,766
It's the male. Great!
295
00:20:54,166 --> 00:21:01,366
We measure it. If we capture him again,
we will find out how much it has grown over time.
296
00:21:01,446 --> 00:21:03,926
He is 2.77 m. Did you notice?
297
00:21:04,006 --> 00:21:06,526
We take blood and tissue samples.
298
00:21:06,606 --> 00:21:07,606
Good.
299
00:21:07,686 --> 00:21:11,926
We find out what it feeds on and where.
300
00:21:12,006 --> 00:21:18,086
The crocodile does not feel
how we take the tissue samples.
301
00:21:18,166 --> 00:21:23,206
Now we implant under the skin
an acoustic detector.
302
00:21:23,966 --> 00:21:28,646
That's how we do it
with each captured crocodile.
303
00:21:28,726 --> 00:21:34,046
The area is completely numb.
He won't even know it's there.
304
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:37,126
You won't feel it.
305
00:21:37,446 --> 00:21:41,086
For each newly captured crocodile
we give it a name.
306
00:21:41,166 --> 00:21:44,526
I know what I will tell him.
307
00:21:44,606 --> 00:21:50,886
Craig, you saw
what a magnificent animal it is
308
00:21:50,966 --> 00:21:54,166
He looks quite old.
309
00:21:54,566 --> 00:21:59,006
Toby, what did you suggest we name him?
310
00:21:59,086 --> 00:22:01,886
- Shall we call him "Craig Franklin"?
- Yes!
311
00:22:03,486 --> 00:22:05,806
- Craig Franklin!
- Thank you very much.
312
00:22:05,886 --> 00:22:12,966
I'm a little embarrassed
that the team gave him my name.
313
00:22:13,046 --> 00:22:16,286
For me, it's just the crocodile 168.
314
00:22:18,006 --> 00:22:20,406
I'm done. Thanks, Toby!
Thank you, mother!
315
00:22:20,486 --> 00:22:26,366
I'm curious how they will release it.
That's what I'm going to learn.
316
00:22:26,446 --> 00:22:34,006
When released, we wind the string
around the jaws, but no knots.
317
00:22:34,086 --> 00:22:39,246
When we remove the tape,
he will still have his muzzle tied with string.
318
00:22:39,326 --> 00:22:44,846
I like to learn.
I absorb information like a sponge.
319
00:22:45,086 --> 00:22:48,726
You will have to pull the strings.
320
00:22:48,806 --> 00:22:52,166
Then we peel off the adhesive tape,
we make eye contact
321
00:22:52,246 --> 00:22:54,806
and his jaws shall be loosed.
322
00:22:54,886 --> 00:22:55,926
Good.
323
00:22:56,486 --> 00:23:00,286
Are you ready? Good. Now!
324
00:23:12,446 --> 00:23:14,246
Great!
325
00:23:14,726 --> 00:23:16,966
- Well done!
- Thank you.
326
00:23:17,046 --> 00:23:19,406
It's a wonderful feeling.
327
00:23:19,486 --> 00:23:21,286
I am excited.
328
00:23:21,366 --> 00:23:25,646
Thank you. Thanks Toby for letting me
to get more involved. It was great.
329
00:23:25,726 --> 00:23:29,966
I will not lead expeditions forever.
Robert will do that.
330
00:23:30,046 --> 00:23:36,966
He is already 14 years old.
Soon he will lead us like his father.
331
00:23:37,046 --> 00:23:39,966
Wonderful! Thanks, that was great.
332
00:23:43,006 --> 00:23:44,566
What a tail!
333
00:23:44,646 --> 00:23:46,806
What a big crocodile!
334
00:23:46,886 --> 00:23:51,086
Drew is big, strong and heavy.
335
00:23:51,166 --> 00:23:54,126
He is not afraid of traps at all.
336
00:24:16,406 --> 00:24:21,566
It's great to come here year after year,
we feel at home.
337
00:24:22,566 --> 00:24:28,486
We camp on the banks of the River Wenlock,
a splendid place.
338
00:24:30,406 --> 00:24:37,766
The view is breathtaking
and we see incredible animals.
339
00:24:41,286 --> 00:24:46,366
Here I sat, looking at the river,
and I saw
340
00:24:46,446 --> 00:24:53,926
crocodiles making their peace
known presence.
341
00:24:54,006 --> 00:24:55,606
What a beauty!
342
00:24:58,326 --> 00:25:04,526
Here we take refuge to have peace.
343
00:25:04,606 --> 00:25:08,926
Let's see!
It's my tent and Robert's.
344
00:25:09,006 --> 00:25:13,566
It's very beautiful.
We brush our teeth there.
345
00:25:13,646 --> 00:25:16,606
When we take water from the river,
we drop the bucket.
346
00:25:16,686 --> 00:25:20,446
We don't go down to the river,
for there are large crocodiles.
347
00:25:20,526 --> 00:25:22,366
Below is the shower.
348
00:25:22,446 --> 00:25:28,046
You know those luxury hotels,
where do you shower under the starlight?
349
00:25:28,126 --> 00:25:33,046
This is not a five-star hotel,
but billions of stars! Great!
350
00:25:34,046 --> 00:25:37,086
Here we hang out the laundry.
351
00:25:37,166 --> 00:25:42,326
We have a snack area
and provisions for river expeditions,
352
00:25:42,406 --> 00:25:44,446
when we study crocodiles.
353
00:25:44,526 --> 00:25:49,206
This is where we drink our morning tea,
we have breakfast...
354
00:25:49,286 --> 00:25:51,966
Everything here is beautiful.
355
00:25:52,046 --> 00:25:59,926
The view and the animals here
I am without a pair.
356
00:26:00,006 --> 00:26:06,806
I counted about a fourth
from Australian bird species
357
00:26:06,886 --> 00:26:08,846
in this reservation.
358
00:26:08,926 --> 00:26:13,166
One of four species
found throughout the country!
359
00:26:13,926 --> 00:26:16,966
It's spectacular. It's a quiet, beautiful place.
360
00:26:17,046 --> 00:26:22,766
We are blessed
that we can admire it year after year.
361
00:26:23,246 --> 00:26:27,966
In the evening, after we talk
about crocodiles,
362
00:26:28,046 --> 00:26:31,206
we talk about everything that comes to mind.
363
00:26:31,286 --> 00:26:34,726
We share our experiences of the day,
364
00:26:34,806 --> 00:26:37,606
plans, hopes, dreams.
365
00:26:37,686 --> 00:26:43,526
We often talk about Steve,
because it was his favorite place.
366
00:26:43,606 --> 00:26:47,086
He always said
that it is the most beautiful place in the world.
367
00:26:47,166 --> 00:26:53,886
Here we remember him, we honor him
and we think about him in silence.
368
00:27:02,086 --> 00:27:07,246
This year, we are catching new crocodiles
and we revisit old acquaintances...
369
00:27:07,326 --> 00:27:08,366
Beautiful!
370
00:27:08,446 --> 00:27:12,606
... to understand them better
and protect them in the wild.
371
00:27:19,126 --> 00:27:22,406
Charlie the crocodile is a male
very energetic.
372
00:27:22,486 --> 00:27:25,086
I captured it for the first time in 2013.
373
00:27:31,526 --> 00:27:37,286
We are waiting for the roll. One more time.
We leave it one more time. Start!
374
00:27:39,766 --> 00:27:41,326
Thought to thought with joy.
375
00:27:41,406 --> 00:27:45,406
Crocodiles have a bite
with the most kilograms-force.
376
00:27:45,486 --> 00:27:49,126
That's right! Blood, tissue, measurements.
377
00:27:49,206 --> 00:27:52,646
It reaches 210 kgf/cm².
378
00:27:52,726 --> 00:27:55,326
Of a rottweiler
it has only 6.32 kgf/cm².
379
00:27:55,966 --> 00:27:59,166
DAY 13
380
00:27:59,606 --> 00:28:03,566
Jarrah is an old acquaintance.
I captured it for the first time in 2013.
381
00:28:03,926 --> 00:28:05,366
Now!
382
00:28:08,446 --> 00:28:10,566
Adhesive tape. The eyes.
383
00:28:10,646 --> 00:28:14,446
It is important to monitor them,
to find out where they go
384
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:17,726
while I hold my breath
what distances they can cover.
385
00:28:20,006 --> 00:28:25,886
Of the 25 existing species
around the world,
386
00:28:25,966 --> 00:28:28,806
half are endangered.
387
00:28:28,886 --> 00:28:36,486
Just understanding these top predators
we can protect them.
388
00:28:37,166 --> 00:28:40,446
Ready, let's go!
One, two, three, we're back. Wait!
389
00:28:42,086 --> 00:28:44,806
It's Wes. I captured Wes again!
390
00:28:44,886 --> 00:28:46,766
WES
SALTWATER CROCODILE
391
00:28:46,846 --> 00:28:48,806
Good, let's start!
392
00:28:51,126 --> 00:28:55,166
We monitor how much the crocodiles have grown
which we capture again.
393
00:28:55,246 --> 00:28:59,526
In five years, it has grown phenomenally.
394
00:28:59,606 --> 00:29:05,006
This is also how we estimate the number of crocodiles
from the River Wenlock.
395
00:29:05,086 --> 00:29:07,526
- Done! For you.
- Excellent!
396
00:29:07,606 --> 00:29:11,806
Surprisingly, we catch
more males than females.
397
00:29:12,286 --> 00:29:17,886
We find out what territories they have,
how to move on this huge river.
398
00:29:20,166 --> 00:29:23,126
It's great when we catch one female at a time.
399
00:29:23,686 --> 00:29:26,006
What a cutie you are!
400
00:29:26,086 --> 00:29:32,606
It was something special. I no longer immobilized
such a small crocodile.
401
00:29:32,686 --> 00:29:34,606
When you are ready...
402
00:29:35,526 --> 00:29:37,366
What a successful immobilization!
403
00:29:37,446 --> 00:29:38,966
Adhesive tape. The eyes!
404
00:29:40,686 --> 00:29:42,006
Great!
405
00:29:43,806 --> 00:29:46,806
It was the most successful immobilization!
406
00:29:46,886 --> 00:29:50,366
The female is extremely important
407
00:29:50,446 --> 00:29:55,286
because we do not know the fate of their nests
408
00:29:55,366 --> 00:29:58,606
or how many chicks reach maturity.
409
00:29:58,686 --> 00:30:02,846
It doesn't have a chip. It's fresh.
410
00:30:02,926 --> 00:30:04,126
You are new!
411
00:30:04,206 --> 00:30:09,006
We have to give it a great name.
412
00:30:09,206 --> 00:30:11,086
What name should we give it?
413
00:30:11,166 --> 00:30:13,206
We don't have any crocodile named Terri.
414
00:30:13,286 --> 00:30:16,046
- Let's call it that!
- Terri sounds good.
415
00:30:16,126 --> 00:30:19,406
- In honor of the colossal immobilization?
- Yes!
416
00:30:19,486 --> 00:30:24,166
She is the perfect candidate to carry the name
our beautiful mother.
417
00:30:26,446 --> 00:30:29,966
It is very thrilling to catch crocodiles.
418
00:30:30,046 --> 00:30:32,046
But we're still waiting for Drew.
419
00:30:32,126 --> 00:30:35,366
- What a long tail!
- What a big crocodile!
420
00:30:35,446 --> 00:30:38,166
He's legendary for our team.
421
00:30:38,246 --> 00:30:40,206
He is not afraid of traps.
422
00:30:40,286 --> 00:30:43,246
It is an essential crocodile
for our study.
423
00:30:43,326 --> 00:30:45,166
The tip is blunt.
424
00:30:45,246 --> 00:30:48,046
He still has the GPS device.
425
00:30:48,126 --> 00:30:52,206
If we get it back,
we will get a lot of information.
426
00:30:52,286 --> 00:30:54,046
With leeches.
427
00:30:54,126 --> 00:30:59,566
We have been here for many days.
The desperation to catch him grows.
428
00:30:59,646 --> 00:31:01,246
This is the last chance.
429
00:31:02,726 --> 00:31:06,286
LAST DAY - 30TH DAY
430
00:31:07,526 --> 00:31:09,286
This is the first trap.
431
00:31:09,366 --> 00:31:15,886
We will check 15 traps from the boat
and three others, by car.
432
00:31:17,286 --> 00:31:19,046
The lead is still there.
433
00:31:20,246 --> 00:31:22,766
- None disappeared?
- No.
434
00:31:22,846 --> 00:31:27,806
I didn't see the crafty Drew.
It doesn't show.
435
00:31:28,126 --> 00:31:31,446
I'm beginning to fear we won't find anything.
436
00:31:31,526 --> 00:31:34,326
Maybe we don't catch him this time.
437
00:31:34,406 --> 00:31:36,286
- One more?
- Yes.
438
00:31:36,366 --> 00:31:39,006
Only in this could it be.
439
00:31:41,686 --> 00:31:45,966
Toby and I are impatient
and we hope to be in this one.
440
00:31:46,206 --> 00:31:48,686
Emotions increase. Keep your fingers crossed!
441
00:31:49,726 --> 00:31:51,606
We come to the last trap...
442
00:31:53,046 --> 00:31:54,806
- No.
- No!
443
00:31:57,286 --> 00:31:59,726
Nothing. No sign of crocodiles.
444
00:32:00,886 --> 00:32:03,246
And the lead is still there.
445
00:32:04,046 --> 00:32:06,446
- Shall we call the camp?
- Yes.
446
00:32:06,526 --> 00:32:08,846
Maybe they found something upstream.
447
00:32:08,926 --> 00:32:15,086
The terrible burden comes upon me
to return empty-handed.
448
00:32:15,806 --> 00:32:18,166
Coolibah, Terri.
449
00:32:18,246 --> 00:32:21,566
Mom, we're Robert and Toby.
how is it going
450
00:32:23,126 --> 00:32:27,406
It's Robert. We know what that means!
451
00:32:28,646 --> 00:32:31,006
What did you find upstream?
452
00:32:33,486 --> 00:32:35,686
Nothing at all... On Drew!
453
00:32:35,766 --> 00:32:40,486
Did you catch Drew? Yes!
454
00:32:41,886 --> 00:32:44,926
I captured Drew again.
455
00:32:45,006 --> 00:32:48,726
It is over 4 m long.
He is a dominant male.
456
00:32:48,806 --> 00:32:51,246
Great! I can't wait to see him.
457
00:32:54,686 --> 00:32:56,486
Here he is!
458
00:33:03,406 --> 00:33:08,606
DREW
SALTWATER CROCODILE
459
00:33:08,686 --> 00:33:15,206
Drew is amazingly big, tough,
a dominant crocodile.
460
00:33:15,286 --> 00:33:18,286
Toby will have the fork.
461
00:33:33,486 --> 00:33:37,366
Drew is a crocodile
extraordinarily strong,
462
00:33:37,446 --> 00:33:43,046
but he is also unusually clever.
463
00:33:46,086 --> 00:33:50,726
The trap is made
so that the crocodile can see the river.
464
00:33:50,806 --> 00:33:53,646
It is closed on the side and in the back.
465
00:33:53,726 --> 00:33:59,246
The crocodile will strive
to reach the river again.
466
00:33:59,326 --> 00:34:02,846
Drew took it in the opposite direction.
467
00:34:04,486 --> 00:34:07,566
Toby will have the fork.
468
00:34:08,606 --> 00:34:11,326
It will be very difficult.
469
00:34:11,406 --> 00:34:13,806
The net is tight.
470
00:34:13,886 --> 00:34:19,206
Gotta get it off his head
to bind his jaws.
471
00:34:19,286 --> 00:34:23,446
Robert, go ahead with the boys,
to handle the strings!
472
00:34:23,526 --> 00:34:26,006
First you have to
let's tie his muzzle tight.
473
00:34:26,686 --> 00:34:31,286
We enter through the bottom of the trap,
to catch his upper jaw,
474
00:34:31,366 --> 00:34:34,406
probably behind
helped by sticks.
475
00:34:35,486 --> 00:34:42,406
We put the three loops,
then I look for a way to remove the mesh.
476
00:34:44,686 --> 00:34:49,526
Drew has been captured many times,
he knows how things go.
477
00:34:49,806 --> 00:34:55,526
Take care of the strings!
I will remove the net.
478
00:34:57,966 --> 00:35:04,126
He takes the net off her head
to see the water, to believe himself liberated.
479
00:35:04,206 --> 00:35:06,366
Hopefully it will come out on its own.
480
00:35:06,926 --> 00:35:09,726
Let him move. Wonderful!
481
00:35:09,806 --> 00:35:11,046
That's right!
482
00:35:11,126 --> 00:35:16,486
I'm satisfied if it moves forward on its own.
Then we'll rotate it.
483
00:35:16,806 --> 00:35:20,206
- It's done! Harrison!
- It's going.
484
00:35:23,566 --> 00:35:26,726
Wonderful! I hold this string.
485
00:35:27,046 --> 00:35:29,206
Now let's pull him up on the bank.
486
00:35:29,566 --> 00:35:34,046
Fresh out of the trap,
he looks at us fiercely.
487
00:35:34,126 --> 00:35:37,726
"Let me see you!
I'm the biggest crocodile here."
488
00:35:37,966 --> 00:35:39,646
Good, start! A little more...
489
00:35:39,726 --> 00:35:42,646
I think he's tired.
A little more!
490
00:35:44,606 --> 00:35:45,926
Roll, buddy!
491
00:35:46,006 --> 00:35:47,326
All right.
492
00:35:48,646 --> 00:35:49,926
Well, that's it!
493
00:35:56,126 --> 00:36:02,926
Try to roll down the hill.
Need a little help.
494
00:36:03,286 --> 00:36:04,286
I'm sorry.
495
00:36:04,366 --> 00:36:07,366
But the crocodile gets tired quickly...
496
00:36:07,446 --> 00:36:08,606
It's nothing, honey.
497
00:36:08,686 --> 00:36:12,006
... he regains his energy
and it gushes out again.
498
00:36:12,726 --> 00:36:14,966
You can't let your guard down.
499
00:36:15,046 --> 00:36:16,046
Help!
500
00:36:16,126 --> 00:36:20,086
It is an incredibly strong animal.
501
00:36:20,526 --> 00:36:24,806
The team to prepare to jump.
After rolling this!
502
00:36:25,406 --> 00:36:27,606
As soon as it is in position.
503
00:36:28,806 --> 00:36:31,206
- Adhesive tape. The eyes.
- Welcome!
504
00:36:35,686 --> 00:36:40,086
Move his tail a little! Help me!
505
00:36:40,166 --> 00:36:45,806
We all feel his every muscle.
It is extremely powerful.
506
00:36:45,886 --> 00:36:48,166
Guys, feet up!
507
00:36:49,086 --> 00:36:51,126
It shakes!
508
00:36:51,206 --> 00:36:57,846
The warning means that the crocodile
gathers his energy to attack.
509
00:36:57,926 --> 00:36:59,926
It shakes.
510
00:37:00,006 --> 00:37:05,126
He gathers his strength. He tenses up,
then they start crashing around.
511
00:37:10,686 --> 00:37:12,246
Catch him!
512
00:37:12,326 --> 00:37:14,206
The tail, on both sides.
513
00:37:15,366 --> 00:37:19,606
We try our best
let's not let him go.
514
00:37:19,686 --> 00:37:21,966
How to succeed!
515
00:37:22,046 --> 00:37:25,806
He must remain completely still
until we release him
516
00:37:25,886 --> 00:37:28,446
for his safety and ours.
517
00:37:29,086 --> 00:37:32,926
I tied his jaws!
Craig, are you okay too?
518
00:37:33,006 --> 00:37:37,006
Mommy! What a breath!
519
00:37:38,126 --> 00:37:42,526
We proceed as usual. We measure it.
520
00:37:42,606 --> 00:37:45,206
He is 4.41 m.
521
00:37:45,286 --> 00:37:47,286
We take tissue and blood samples.
522
00:37:47,366 --> 00:37:50,326
We need very little.
523
00:37:50,406 --> 00:37:53,166
We put another satellite transmitter on it.
524
00:37:55,166 --> 00:38:00,806
I recovered the mounted transmitter
a few years ago.
525
00:38:00,886 --> 00:38:05,446
The data stored will be phenomenal.
526
00:38:06,406 --> 00:38:11,526
You won't even feel it
the presence of the transmitter.
527
00:38:12,526 --> 00:38:17,846
Looking closely at Drew,
see some black dots,
528
00:38:17,926 --> 00:38:23,086
intertegumental sensory organs,
that feel the vibrations in the water.
529
00:38:23,166 --> 00:38:29,166
When hunting in murky water,
locate animals on the ground by footsteps
530
00:38:29,246 --> 00:38:33,446
or in water, after vibrations,
precisely finding their position.
531
00:38:36,046 --> 00:38:39,486
The most difficult is the release.
532
00:38:39,566 --> 00:38:46,886
As with every crocodile,
I tie it with knotless strings.
533
00:38:46,966 --> 00:38:52,006
It is so big that it immobilizes him
almost the whole team.
534
00:38:52,086 --> 00:38:54,806
Bindi handles it
from the string of the blindfold.
535
00:38:54,886 --> 00:38:57,366
Bindi, look at the eye contact!
536
00:38:57,446 --> 00:39:02,846
It's hard to care
that no one is in danger.
537
00:39:03,046 --> 00:39:07,726
As usual there will be two commands:
"start" and "now".
538
00:39:07,806 --> 00:39:12,086
Now cut the ties.
Keep your eyes peeled!
539
00:39:12,166 --> 00:39:15,246
When you get off it,
it can come back.
540
00:39:16,926 --> 00:39:19,726
Steve, get ready to run!
541
00:39:23,006 --> 00:39:27,566
Are you ready? Start! Now!
542
00:39:30,766 --> 00:39:34,366
We all jump off him.
The crocodile looks great.
543
00:39:34,446 --> 00:39:36,926
Then, suddenly, he turns.
544
00:39:38,526 --> 00:39:41,046
- It's moving.
- Come on, good people!
545
00:39:41,126 --> 00:39:43,246
Bindi holds the string of the blindfold.
546
00:39:45,406 --> 00:39:47,406
It's a moment of balance.
547
00:39:47,486 --> 00:39:53,726
I'm trying to get his link to
the right time and it's very difficult.
548
00:39:53,806 --> 00:39:55,366
Come on, good people!
549
00:39:55,646 --> 00:40:03,126
If I hurry, Drew will try
to catch those in front of him.
550
00:40:03,646 --> 00:40:04,646
We take it out!
551
00:40:04,726 --> 00:40:08,406
If you're late, he'll end up in the water
still blindfolded.
552
00:40:08,486 --> 00:40:11,166
- Shoot, B!
- Shoot! That's right!
553
00:40:11,526 --> 00:40:17,086
But how do I remove the link,
Drew eased into the water
554
00:40:17,166 --> 00:40:19,166
and the operation is a success.
555
00:40:21,086 --> 00:40:24,406
- How fast it goes!
- Great!
556
00:40:27,206 --> 00:40:28,206
Well done!
557
00:40:28,286 --> 00:40:30,886
Well done, honey!
558
00:40:31,566 --> 00:40:34,886
Drew is among them
my favorite crocodiles.
559
00:40:34,966 --> 00:40:39,446
It's heartwarming to see him back in the water.
560
00:40:39,526 --> 00:40:44,886
Congratulations! You performed perfectly
this mission impossible. Wonderful!
561
00:40:45,366 --> 00:40:47,806
I am very excited.
562
00:40:47,886 --> 00:40:52,046
I no longer work with zoo animals,
but with wild beasts.
563
00:40:52,126 --> 00:40:53,806
It's amazing!
564
00:40:53,886 --> 00:40:55,686
Well done Toby!
565
00:40:55,766 --> 00:41:01,566
The data from the satellite transmitter
were the target of this expedition.
566
00:41:04,886 --> 00:41:07,606
COOLIBAH CAMP
567
00:41:08,406 --> 00:41:11,326
The transmitters
they will reveal places to us
568
00:41:11,406 --> 00:41:14,126
and information
about the diet of crocodiles.
569
00:41:14,206 --> 00:41:17,046
These are Drew's movements
from the last year.
570
00:41:17,126 --> 00:41:20,966
He moved on the river,
upstream and downstream.
571
00:41:21,046 --> 00:41:24,206
He kept crossing the Stones pass.
572
00:41:24,726 --> 00:41:29,006
In one year, he traveled over 1,600 km.
573
00:41:29,086 --> 00:41:35,726
The study indicated the presence
several dominant males
574
00:41:35,806 --> 00:41:39,886
who divided their territories
from the river
575
00:41:39,966 --> 00:41:44,326
patrols and defends them
by other males.
576
00:41:44,406 --> 00:41:50,006
I also found out data about diving.
Some are as long as six hours.
577
00:41:50,246 --> 00:41:57,446
That's the most for any vertebrate
which breathes oxygen. It's a record.
578
00:41:57,526 --> 00:41:59,806
It's huge!
579
00:41:59,886 --> 00:42:06,646
It's amazing that crocodiles
I can hold my breath for six hours.
580
00:42:06,726 --> 00:42:11,246
That's why this information
are essential.
581
00:42:11,326 --> 00:42:14,766
Instilling fascination in people
for crocodiles and educating them,
582
00:42:14,846 --> 00:42:17,166
we contribute to the efforts
conservation of the species.
583
00:42:17,246 --> 00:42:22,406
It's hard work,
but it motivates our desire
584
00:42:22,486 --> 00:42:26,086
to learn more about
the magnificent saltwater crocodiles.
585
00:42:31,206 --> 00:42:34,886
It was a wonderful expedition
for many reasons.
586
00:42:37,886 --> 00:42:42,926
I caught crocodiles in 2018
also captured in 2008.
587
00:42:43,726 --> 00:42:45,806
How fast it goes!
588
00:42:45,886 --> 00:42:49,046
We also captured new crocodiles.
589
00:42:50,446 --> 00:42:52,886
What a cutie she is!
590
00:42:52,966 --> 00:42:56,406
This is where I used to bring the children
along with Steve.
591
00:43:04,726 --> 00:43:09,846
The fact that I can go on
the tradition started by Steve
592
00:43:09,926 --> 00:43:11,966
it is something very special.
593
00:43:12,046 --> 00:43:17,286
We're sitting by the campfire
and we solve stories, in the family.
594
00:43:18,486 --> 00:43:21,286
I feel like dad is still with us.
595
00:43:21,366 --> 00:43:25,406
It was his favorite place.
He adores this corner of the world.
596
00:43:25,486 --> 00:43:27,926
He loved crocodiles,
he loved all animals.
597
00:43:28,006 --> 00:43:32,726
You wish he was here too.
598
00:43:32,806 --> 00:43:35,446
But I think he is, somehow, among us.
599
00:43:36,446 --> 00:43:40,086
The greatest achievement
my professional
600
00:43:40,166 --> 00:43:43,926
it's work
for the conservation of global fauna.
601
00:43:44,006 --> 00:43:48,366
Greatest personal achievement
they are my children
