Ten Deadliest Snakes with Nigel Marven
Over four action-packed episodes, snake fanatic Nigel Marven journeys to Costa Rica, the USA, South Africa, and China, dodging snapping jaws and vicious fangs to count down his list of each country’s ten deadliest snakes.
Malaysia
On the trail of his top ten, Nigel meets worshippers and vipers at Penang’s famous Snake Temple and meets a new squeeze, a snappy reticulated python over 4 meters long! He joins fishermen to net some superb sea snakes.
Australia
Australia’s renowned deadly serpents include the inland taipan, the most toxic serpent in the world, and the enormous king brown. As Nigel counts down his top ten, he’s helped by Steve Irwin’s son Robert.
India
Every year over a million people are bitten by snakes, resulting in some 46,000 deaths. With the help of the Irula, a tribe of snake hunters, he faces off with kraits, vipers, and cobras.
Europe
Nigel travels all across Europe in search of the most dangerous snakes. Amid ancient Turkish ruins he uncovers a massive Ottoman viper, a snake once used as a weapon of war.
