Gently Smiling Jaws Narrated by David Attenborough
With sinister grin, powerful jaws and fearsome reputation, Nile crocodiles are, to most of us, creatures to be avoided.
But naturalist Tony Pooley has made a remarkable observation which shows that this living relative of the dinosaur can be a caring and sensitive creature, using its mouth to cradle its young as well as to crush its prey. What's more, they come when they're called! Filmed and directed by RODNEY BORLAND
