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
