Steve Backshall, Animal Planet’s wildlife expert, is back with more fatal animals in a new season of Deadly 60. He will travel across six continents to find his "hit list" of the 60 most lethal animals on Earth. The 26-part series will premiere on Animal Planet at 9:30 p.m. from August 20 onwards every Saturday. The show will feature some of the fascinating — and deadly — creatures across Costa Rican jungles, deadliest desserts in Mexico, Panama’s Darien Jungle rainforest, waters of the Indian Ocean in Mozambique, arid landscapes of Namibia, rainforests of Madagascar to dig out the largest carnivore. Backshall will dig out world’s longest venomous snake in Thailand, deadliest sharks and poisonous snakes in Philippines, track the elusive lynx and Europe’s largest cat in Norway and many more. From black rhino to the blue whale, leopard seals to giant hornets, Steve will search for the animals that most people would happily avoid. Each animal has developed deadly characteristics, and Steve will show how these characteristics help the animal survive in the wild. Some use their weapons for defence, and some for attack, however, one thing remains, and that is that whatever their size, these animals are truly deadly. — TNS
