0:00:03 > 0:00:07On Deadly 60, I've had loads of incredible animal encounters.

0:00:11 > 0:00:15This is Deadly 60 BITES

0:00:15 > 0:00:17We're fishing for American crocodiles

0:00:17 > 0:00:20in a full-on thunderstorm.

0:00:20 > 0:00:24Oh! See that lightning!

0:00:24 > 0:00:27Crocs have well-developed senses of hearing and smell,

0:00:27 > 0:00:31and can also pick up vibrations of struggling prey in the water.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35And it doesn't take long for one to sniff out our bait.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39Ooh! Look at that, Johnny. He's right by us! He's HUGE!

0:00:40 > 0:00:43That is incredible! That must be...three metres?

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Now, THAT is a big croc.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Because the tail is paddle-shaped,

0:01:10 > 0:01:14it gives them great power through the water

0:01:14 > 0:01:16when they need it.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Which isn't often,

0:01:19 > 0:01:21because most of the time is spent

0:01:21 > 0:01:24almost motionless.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Effortless. Just effortless.
