00:00 Some of the most powerful jaws in the animal kingdom clamp down on slippery hippo flesh.

00:14 Regardless of the danger, the pride must cross the river.

00:20 Keenly focused, the lionesses forge ahead.

00:26 The whole family is on edge.

00:38 There's just one problem.

00:40 A mother with her cub and two young males still on the opposite side.

00:48 The Luangwa River has one of the highest concentrations of crocodiles in the whole of Africa.

00:58 Lions may have the upper hand on land, but in water, the tables turn and it's the crocs

01:04 that rule.

01:08 The desire to join their family drives them into the water.

01:13 This is the one time lions are really vulnerable.

01:22 As the crocs begin to close in, the mother and the boys pick up the pace.

01:32 Someone's been left behind.

01:34 The cub.

01:39 He is petrified.

01:41 He's never seen water like this before.

01:44 At first, the mother doesn't seem to care.

01:51 But something draws the mother back.

01:58 It's now or never.

02:02 The worst possible thing he can do is stop.

02:09 The croc moves in for the grab.

02:20 But the mother's growl sends it on its way.

02:24 An external threat to her cub has triggered her maternal instincts.

02:34 Despite all, there's one more challenge.

02:38 The two brothers approach the river with trepidation.

02:48 The first lion cautiously stepped into the river, his amber eyes flickering with a mixture

02:54 of fear and determination.

03:01 Their senses were on high alert.

03:08 Their instincts telling them that one false move could spell their doom.

03:15 One lion was not so fortunate as a crocodile suddenly lunged out of the water and clamped

03:21 its powerful jaws around its neck.

03:27 He fought valiantly, his claws raking the crocodile's snout as he struggled to free

03:38 himself.

03:39 His struggles quickly subsiding as the crocodile claimed its prize.

03:49 One had triumphed while the other had fallen prey to the ruthless forces of the river.
