Product Overview

Saltwater crocodiles are fearsome predatory giants. Flatback turtles are some of the most hard-nosed sea turtles in the ocean. Few people knew they ever met, let alone knew about the epic battle that kicks off when they do.

Every year, a tranquil tropical island off Australia's north coast is invaded by commando crocs and tank-like turtles, laser-fast lemon sharks and search-and-destroy seagulls. Crab Island's beautiful beaches become a tense arena, staging a gladiatorial showdown that happens nowhere else on the planet, and which has never been filmed before.
