Is the Dikkop the Bravest Bird in the World?
Clip: Season 35 Episode 8 | 1m 28sVideo has Closed Captions
Staring down a half-ton Nile croc isn't for the faint of heart.
The water dikkop (Burhinus vermiculatus) locates its nest close to the nest of the Nile crocodile for protection from other predators. However, Nile crocs are extremely territorial and being in such close proximity leads to some feather-raising situations.
