It is one of the largest and most feared reptiles on our planet.

The naturalist operator Brad Bestelink is planning an incredible feat, he wants to dive into the waters of the Okavango Delta, to study these unpredictable creatures in their natural habitat. The goal is very ambitious. To erase the polio virus from the face of the Earth by 2013, to cause its extinction.
