American Crocodile Deadly 60 Bites

On Deadly 60, I've had loads of incredible animal encounters.

Here's just one of my many favourites.

This is Deadly 60 BITES

We're fishing for American crocodiles

in a full-on thunderstorm.

Oh! See that lightning!

Crocs have well-developed senses of hearing and smell,

and can also pick up vibrations of struggling prey in the water.

And it doesn't take long for one to sniff out our bait.

Ooh! Look at that, Johnny. He's right by us! He's HUGE!

That is incredible! That must be...three metres?

Now, THAT is a big croc.

He's turned towards us.

He's just there.

Got it, he's got the fish.

He's got the fish.

Come on, then, big fella.

Come on.

Let's get a look at you.

Aw, that's strong!

Because the tail is paddle-shaped,

it gives them great power through the water

when they need it.

Which isn't often,

because most of the time is spent

almost motionless.

Effortless. Just effortless.

That's not just one of the most deadly predators in Costa Rica,

that's one of the most deadly predators in the world.

THUNDER CRACKS

And WHAT a finale!

Lightning strike. Crocodile.

American crocs are going on the Deadly 60.

What an experience!
