Africa's Deadliest Hunters | Extreme Snakes 102

The planet’s second largest continent straddles the equator and is the most tropical of all the land masses. Africa also has the world’s largest desert and all the habitats in between. With this vastness and extreme variation in habitats comes a huge variety in snake species. Forged by the extreme environments in which they inhabit, these formidable reptiles have adapted and overcome challenges in the most incredible ways. They are versatile, resilient, powerful, deadly, and diverse. In this one hour natural history special, we explore the innovative and highly flexible ways that snakes survive in these extreme environments. Along the way we examine Africa’s longest, strongest, heaviest, deadliest and most venomous snakes, and the continent that shaped them. We delve into the complexity of venom, new findings in snake locomotion, recent revelations about how constriction kills and discover that some snakes are able to use chemical cloaking to disguise themselves from prey. Masterfully crafted with blue-chip natural history material, including specialist high speed and macro footage of rarely captured natural behaviours, we showcase the incredible physiologies and extreme survival strategies of these remarkable predators.
