Nature's Deadliest: Africa

Nature's Deadliest: Africa

Author: Animal Planet February 8, 2024 Duration: 38:32
Africa is populated by some of the most bizarre, beautiful, and deadly animals on earth. Some kill in just minutes with lethal venom, like the Black widow spider, and the Snouted cobra. Others kill with devastating horns and crushing force like the Rhino and Cape buffalo. But Africa's number one killer, the Hippopotamus, is armed with the world's most powerful bite force. Nature's Deadliest examines these animals' unique methods of killing. Whether it is teeth capable of lacerating flesh and bone, or swift-acting venom, all of these creatures are capable of inflicting death or severe trauma. Their hunting strategies and weaponry vary, as do their catastrophic effects on a victim. Inside the human body we explore this life and death struggle for survival, and what it takes to survive Nature's Deadliest.
