Australia's Deadly Monsters

Synopsis

AUSTRALIA'S DEADLY MONSTERS are supremely adapted to life in harsh and dangerous habitats, lurking deep within the heart of this ancient continent. Many of them have rarely been seen by human eyes. This series takes us on a journey through three Australian outback terrains and into the lives of some of Australia's frightening, ugly, freaky - but above all - deadly creatures. In the floodplains, in the desert dunes, and in the moisture-filled highlands of an otherwise arid landscape, we will explore the unique lives, habitats and hierarchies of some of Australia's monstrous creatures.

Episodes

Season 1

Nightmares of The North

Swinging between drought and deluge, Australia's tropical Top End is literally teeming with life - and death. When prey is abundant, the Nightmares of the North are on the prowl. Nowhere is safe - Saltwater Crocodiles terrorise river systems, while toxic Box Jellyfish lay waste to estuaries, and White-bellied Sea Eagles rain death from above. Ruthless monsters wreaking havoc in Australia's tropical north.

Outback Terrors

Fringed by tropical rainforests, the majority of the Australian continent's vast interior is dominated by arid grasslands and expansive red deserts. Scorched and drought stricken, these extreme conditions have given rise to dramatic outback monsters - iridescent scorpions, boxing kangaroos, and the world's most venomous snakes battle for supremacy, Between the Dunes.

Stone Cold Killers

Monstrous raptors, vicious devils, cunning death adders and more; meet the Stone Cold Killers patrolling the undergrowth of Australia's vast forest reserves. Adept survivors, these savage beasts stop at nothing to take their quarry any which-way they can - dead or alive.
