And I have Canon EOS 1D Mark II and Nikon D5 in Mind I don't Know Which is one better for me.

If I had to make a recommendation, I would suggest the 1D Mark II over the Nikon D5 for what you want to do.  Another option would be a 5D4 or Cinema EOS body for video, and a 7D2 or a 90D for wildlife photography.

Perhaps mistyping is contagious. I am sure he means 1Dx Mk II. I still have my 1D MkIIn but I would never recommend anyone buy one as an upgrade to almost any current camera.  Now, the 1D Mk II is even a lesser camera and a lesser choice. I sold mine when I got the Mk IIn.
