Deadly Predators

In this episode, Steve goes in search of Deadly Predators with the greatest super-senses on earth. First up, Steve heads up into the canopy to get a unique view of the UK's largest bat, the noctule bat, as he wants to witness bats echolocating first hand. He then meets human echolocator Juan, who has been blind from birth, and uses echolocation just like a bat to see his world. Steve learns all the tips and tricks to see if he can learn to echolocate and complete our Deadly obstacle course. The mighty sperm whale creates the loudest sound on earth. Using the latest CGI, we take a trip inside a sperm whale's huge head to discover how they achieve such an extraordinary sound and perform a demonstration with an air vortex canon to see just how powerful it really is. Finally, Steve comes face to face with a copperhead snake. These phenomenal snakes are pit vipers, meaning they have heat-sensing pits that enables them to sense their prey in complete darkness. Steve puts the snake to the test by seeing whether it will strike a cold water balloon or a warm one. He then puts his heat sensing to the test in the weirdest game of hide and seek, as he uses a thermal imaging camera to try and track down his team in our Deadly Junkyard.

In this episode, Steve finds out which Deadly Predators have the best weapons on earth. Using the latest CGI, we bring the colossal squid to life, test the strength of its tentacles, and show how its mighty beak could slice through a car like butter. When it comes to weapons, snakes have some of the best on earth. Steve goes in search of the adder, the UK's only venomous snake and an endangered species. Then he sets out to blow our minds by showing us the fastest snake on earth: the diamond rattlesnake. By filming it in super-slow motion, we get to see just how impressive it is at catching prey. Then we have the crocodile, one of the planet's ultimate predators. Steve puts it to the test, but this time it's not about its phenomenal bite, it's all about its ability to hold its breath. Steve puts himself through his paces to see how he compares to a crocodile - in the battle of the breath hold, who will be crowned king? And, finally, an animal whose weapon is silent but deadly - the barn owl. They are the ultimate stealth killer, able to completely surprise their unwitting prey - but just how quiet are they? Steve heads to a sound studio to put this to the test, and the results are mind-blowing.

In this episode, Steve goes in search of the wildest Deadly Predators and takes a closer look at what makes them weird.

In the final episode, Steve looks back at his top Deadly Predators from the series and meets the ultimate predator. He reviews the biggest and best stunts from the series and reveals how the team bought a giant air vortex cannon to the Deadly junkyard to demonstrate the predatory prowess of the sperm whale.
