Footage by Luke Oches and Alex Braczkowski has shown Jacob and Tibu successfully swimming across the Kazinga Channel, a piece of water notorious for its crocodile and hippopotamus populations. The swim was recorded to be approximately 1 mile long, a feat never before seen in the species. Read the full story in the New York Times, the Telegraph and the Live Science.
