| Summary |
*This program features animals fighting, hunting and eating prey*From icy wastes to arid deserts, reptiles and amphibians have used their ancient, cold-blooded body plan along with sophisticated behavioural innovations to master the harshest environments on the planet. Using their ruthless hunting abilities, extraordinary camouflage, guile and downright physical toughness, they thrive where mammals and birds fear to tread.This week see Komodo dragons hunting buffalo; sea snakes with one of the most toxic venoms in the world which breed in caves; the seemingly suicidal leaps of a waterfall toad; the tender giant African bull frog that digs water channels to save not only its own young, but that of others too; and lizards that can walk on water.Key animal characters:*Komodo dragons*Sea snakes*African bullfrogs*Basilisk lizardsPRODUCTION DETAILS:A BBC/Discovery/SKAI/Open University co-production in association with RTI Spa and Arte.
