Behind the façade of the Australia’s dramatic scenery lies a seedy underbelly... A den of iniquity, in which the wildlife should be considered armed and dangerous. Australia is home to the world’s most toxic, venomous and dangerous creatures. From the forests to the deserts, it’s a continent teeming with a hugely disproportionate number of creatures that can envenomate, poison or maim.

00:00 – Australian forests are mysterious, deadly places. Dubbed the Daintree Strangler, the amethystine python chokes the life from its victims. Golden orb weaver spiders and giant centipedes use chemical weapons to snuff out their marks. To the south, the tiger quoll inflicts grievous bodily harm on pademelons and wallabies. And then there's the Tasmanian devil – the cartoonish carnivore who shows no mercy, especially for their own kind. While the redbellied black snake actively pursues frogs along the river, the redback spider traps its prey in a web that it will never free itself from. Prepare to meet these killers in Deadly Australians: Forests.

47:32 – There are more reptiles in Australia’s arid heartland than anywhere else on earth...many of which are deadly. The Inland Taipan is the world’s most venomous snake. But, terrifyingly, there are fiercer snakes in the Australian desert. The much larger Mulga Snake is immune to even the deadliest of snake venoms. A Mulga could eat a Taipan for breakfast. Yet, neither of these formidable predators sits at the top of the food chain. That honor is bestowed upon the Perentie. Weighing in at 15 kg and measuring up to two and a half meters long the Perentie is the undisputed heavyweight champion of Australia’s reptiles. It hunts kangaroos, lone dingoes, and considers the world’s deadliest snakes to be appetizers. To survive here, native species have had to develop some rather extreme strategies. While the Death Adder connives and cons, and Wedgetailed Eagle rains death from above... Even insects are prone to antisocial behavior. In Australia’s desolate heartland, it’s everyone for themselves. Enter Deadly Australians: Deserts.
