Deadly 60 - Series One - South Africa

Wildlife presenter Steve Backshall is on a quest to meet 60 of the deadliest animals on the planet. Steve and his team are on a fun-filled, adrenalin-fuelled journey to find those animals most people spend their lifetime avoiding. The action kicks off in Hoedspruit, South Africa. The adventure is nearly over before it's even begun as an angry hippo surprises Steve in a tense encounter on the river. Unscathed and undaunted by the first deadly animal on his list, Steve gets up close and personal with some of South Africa's deadliest snakes and spends the night under the stars in order to find a particularly venomous scorpion.
