0:00:02 > 0:00:04My name's Steve Backshall.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09'And this is my search for the Deadly 60.'
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Amazing!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13'That's not just animals that are deadly to me,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16'but are deadly in their own world.'
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Ugh!
0:00:17 > 0:00:22'My crew and I are travelling the planet and you're coming with me every step of the way!'
0:00:30 > 0:00:34This deadly adventure begins here, in the Philippines.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37From the islands to the coasts, the coral reefs beneath
0:00:37 > 0:00:42and inland to the Philippine forests, this place is heaven for wildlife.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48The Philippines is a collection of thousands of small islands
0:00:48 > 0:00:50in the south-east corner of Asia.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54The pristine jungles and beautiful blue oceans
0:00:54 > 0:00:56are teeming with exotic wildlife
0:00:56 > 0:00:59and some of those animals are deadly.
0:01:01 > 0:01:08First up, we're going to look for an undersea predator, so the crew and I are heading out into the ocean.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17It's a little after four in the morning,
0:01:17 > 0:01:21which is a ridiculous time to be up, let alone going diving.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I think the whole crew are a little bit grumpy.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26But we're also very, very excited,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29because off there in the darkness, underneath the waves,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32is an animal that I've waited my entire life to see.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37That animal is a thresher shark.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41They're extremely elusive, solitary animals.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45During the daytime the threshers prowl the abyss of the deep oceans.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46It's always dark there
0:01:46 > 0:01:50and less known by humans than the surface of the moon.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53But where the terrifying and little-known deep blue
0:01:53 > 0:01:55meets the shallower coastal seas
0:01:55 > 0:01:59is a safe zone where ocean giants hang out with other fish
0:01:59 > 0:02:01they'd usually munch for breakfast.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03It's almost like a salon for sharks.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08This is a cleaning station, where small fish, known as cleaner wrasse,
0:02:08 > 0:02:13do their job of giving big fish a wash and brush up.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17They only start work when the sun comes up.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Timing now is absolutely everything.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24The animal we're looking for is a hunter
0:02:24 > 0:02:28that usually is either active at night or in the deep, deep sea.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33This is the only time when it's going to be up here at our level and we stand a chance of seeing them.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So we need to get in as soon as possible. Are you ready, Si?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Ready to go.- OK, let's rock.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Did I just say "let's rock" on camera?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Yeah.- Let's rock! Let's lock and load!
0:02:45 > 0:02:49So we have a narrow window between darkness and streaming light
0:02:49 > 0:02:52before our thresher sharks return to the deep.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00We're dropping down into the blue. This is really exciting!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03We're heading for one particular place.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10It's a real attractant for all kinds of fish.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16It's known as a cleaning station.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19There are lots of tiny fish in here
0:03:19 > 0:03:24whose job is to clean parasites off other fish.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31And they'll come in from miles around to take up that service.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35It's a great place to sit and wait
0:03:35 > 0:03:39to see some of the most spectacular creatures in the ocean.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Fingers crossed.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45'I have less than an hour before my air runs out
0:03:45 > 0:03:46'and the opportunity is lost.'
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Normally when you're going out diving, you swim around over the reef
0:03:50 > 0:03:53trying to find stuff, whereas just sitting here
0:03:53 > 0:03:57and waiting for it to come to you is a little unusual.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Oh, wow! Look at this!
0:04:02 > 0:04:06This is one of the most unusual jellyfish I've ever seen.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13It has a pulsating bowel
0:04:13 > 0:04:18which is used to drive it along through the water.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20And then, at the rear here,
0:04:20 > 0:04:25these tentacles are armed with stinging cells
0:04:25 > 0:04:29which it can use to paralyse and capture fish, which it then
0:04:29 > 0:04:33draws back to the mouth, under here.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38'A gently pulsating fish trap with venomous stings,
0:04:38 > 0:04:43'yet kind of looking like it's been made from orange jelly.'
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Oh, wow! Look at that!
0:04:46 > 0:04:47It's a devil ray.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52They're like incredible flying spacecraft underwater.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54And he's come in here
0:04:54 > 0:04:57for exactly the same reason as all the other large fish.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00He's come in to get cleaned.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05'But this cruising marine wonder is about to be totally eclipsed.'
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Si! Si, Si, look!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Look! Simon!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Right in front of us!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Coming towards us.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18They're...
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Oh, my...
0:05:22 > 0:05:23It's a thresher shark.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Look at the size of that tail!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29That is just insane.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32'No other shark has a tail like the thresher shark.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36'In fact, that tail is even longer than the rest of the body.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39'The thresher shark can grow as long as a minibus.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42'I shudder to think what a slap from that tail could do.'
0:05:42 > 0:05:47The thresher shark's tail is its deadly weapon.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53First of all, it'll corral a big shoal of fish,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56concentrating them into a tight ball.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59And then, whack!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02The tail goes slapping into the centre of it,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05knocking a couple of fish unconscious,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08and it will come in then and pick those off.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15You can see him just hovering there
0:06:15 > 0:06:19to allow the cleaner fish to come in and pick off
0:06:19 > 0:06:22parasites, dead scales and scabs.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34If you look at the thresher shark's body,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37it's completely different to any other type of shark.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40The eyes are very big and dark,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44so it can see down in the deep waters or at night.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49It has a small mouth
0:06:49 > 0:06:51because it only feeds on fish
0:06:51 > 0:06:57and doesn't need a massive mouth like a great white, that feed on mammals.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04I've waited my entire life to see one of these things
0:07:04 > 0:07:08and it's still utterly, utterly awe-inspiring.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Don't go! Come on, come back!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Oh, my goodness! It's coming straight towards me.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I don't want to even breathe in case I scare him off.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33There's another one! There's another one coming behind it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35This is ridiculous.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39'Until recently, nothing at all
0:07:39 > 0:07:42'was known about the lives of these secretive predators.'
0:07:42 > 0:07:45These are not social sharks. They don't stay together.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49It's only because of the cleaning station that they've come in
0:07:49 > 0:07:52and they're here together in a pair.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Si, look at this! He's coming straight towards me.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Look at that!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00He's so beautiful.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05'This is a shark that cruises the deep ocean.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09'The two pelvic fins are like the wings on a plane,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12'giving it lift through the water and saving it energy
0:08:12 > 0:08:15'as it glides gracefully in search of prey.'
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I can't believe this, Simon!
0:08:20 > 0:08:24This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Here's the other one!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36'Shafts of sunlight pierce the blue
0:08:36 > 0:08:41'and like a vampire the thresher heads for the dark of the deep sea.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43'My air is done, our encounter is over...
0:08:43 > 0:08:46'a life's ambition realised.'
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Well, that was worth travelling halfway round the world for.
0:08:53 > 0:09:01I guess I expected to see an awesome, awesome killing machine,
0:09:01 > 0:09:05but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful, so graceful.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10The thresher shark is definitely going on the Deadly 60.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Unbelievable.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20hunting
0:09:29 > 0:09:32The thresher shark's one of my favourite animals on the Deadly 60.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42'As our threshers cruise down into the depths,
0:09:42 > 0:09:47'we're going in search of an animal that favours the shallowest of seas.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52'In fact, our next deadly predator moves easily between the sea and the dry land.'
0:09:55 > 0:09:59This imposing fortress of rock is our next deadly destination.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04It looks like the perfect place for an adventure, but there is a genuine reason for us coming here.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09One of the world's most venomous snakes lives here. There are hundreds hidden in rocks and crevices.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Our challenge is to find some.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15That snake is a sea krait.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18It can survive on land and in the sea, where it hunts eels and fish.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21It's loaded with fiercely toxic venom
0:10:21 > 0:10:23that could theoretically kill several people.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26They are, however, not given to biting people
0:10:26 > 0:10:30and there are no records of these snakes ever killing a person.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34But I need to be careful, cos I certainly don't want to be the first.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39And I'm going to start my search on the nearby rocks.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41If you've seen Deadly 60 before, then you'll know that
0:10:41 > 0:10:45rock climbing and snakes are two of my favourite things in the world.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50So going rock climbing looking for snakes is kind of my idea of heaven.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52But there is a very real reason for this.
0:10:52 > 0:10:58If you look along the waterline here, you'll see the rock face is pockmarked with tiny holes,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00and that's where I think we're going to find our snake.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Unfortunately, Johnny, my cameraman, is, er...
0:11:04 > 0:11:07He's pretty tough, but even he can't swim over there
0:11:07 > 0:11:12carrying that huge camera and climb up the rock face filming using it.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16So everything I see I'm going to have to film myself in a Deadly 60 style.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Time to get wet.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- Good luck, Stevie!- 'The boat can't get any closer to the rocks,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29'so to get there I'm going to have to swim,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33'without getting the bag with the camera in wet, of course.'
0:11:38 > 0:11:40There's an entrance to a cave here.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I'm going to have a squeeze through and see what I can find.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46'The snake comes out onto the rocks after hunting in the sea
0:11:46 > 0:11:48'to chill out and digest its dinner,
0:11:48 > 0:11:52'so it's a good chance for me to get a closer look.'
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Kind of weird, this.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Crawling into a deep cave
0:11:57 > 0:12:00looking for deadly, venomous snakes.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Ooh! Look at that.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I've got it. I've got my first yellow-lipped krait.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18It's the exact kind of snake that we came here to this island to find.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21'This has to be one of the strangest snake captures I've ever done,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24'hanging off the edge of a rock with a camera in one hand
0:12:24 > 0:12:26'and a venomous snake in the other.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29'So I've got to keep my wits about me and concentrate.'
0:12:32 > 0:12:36If you're wondering how it got the name "yellow-lipped sea krait",
0:12:36 > 0:12:38have a look at the front of its head.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47'The bright yellow marking across the front of its snout gives it its name.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52'The snake is just resting on the rocks,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54'but I want to see them in action.'
0:12:54 > 0:12:57But I'm not going looking up there.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58I'm going down there.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01'So I've got to get kitted up for diving and search for
0:13:01 > 0:13:04'one of these venomous snakes in their watery environment.'
0:13:04 > 0:13:07One, two, three.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22It's a really murky, spooky place, this.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Just the kind of place you expect to find a sea monster
0:13:27 > 0:13:31or one of the most venomous snakes in the world.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37'The bright black and silvery blue bands are a warning colouration
0:13:37 > 0:13:39'that make it easy to spot.'
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Just lying resting on the wall here, curled up in the darkness.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52The yellow-lipped sea krait has a fiercely toxic venom,
0:13:52 > 0:13:59which works incredibly quickly on its chosen prey, but that isn't people,
0:13:59 > 0:14:00it's fish.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07The reason the venom needs to be so strong is that fish,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10once they're bitten, can swim away.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15If the venom is powerful enough to work quickly,
0:14:15 > 0:14:20the fish can't get far away and he gets a meal.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Ah, look at that! He's doing a little swim-through.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37'The snake searches for prey that's hiding in the rocks.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39'Sea kraits swim slowly
0:14:39 > 0:14:44'and rely on their fearsome venom to instantly paralyse fish.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46'This is because they don't stand a chance
0:14:46 > 0:14:49'of catching a fish in a swimming pursuit.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54'The sea krait can easily take on prey its own size
0:14:54 > 0:14:56'before devouring it whole.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59'A meal this big will last for weeks.'
0:15:07 > 0:15:10That banded black and white colouration
0:15:10 > 0:15:14is incredibly pretty and it's there for a reason.
0:15:16 > 0:15:22These markings show potential predators that it's dangerous.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24They're a warning.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Oh, wow! There's a big one!
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I can't believe how many there are here.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37'Sea snakes have one specialised, elongated lung,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40'meaning they can stay underwater for over two hours,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43'but because they're air-breathing reptiles,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46'they need to come to the surface to breathe.'
0:15:46 > 0:15:50The yellow-lipped sea krait is not dangerous to people at all.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52They're really not aggressive.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58But there's no getting away from the fact
0:15:58 > 0:16:00that it does have a ferocious venom.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04If it could get a decent bite on you,
0:16:04 > 0:16:05it would be all bad.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09'Catching a snake underwater is very different to on land.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13'I'm clumsy and cumbersome in dive gear and need to
0:16:13 > 0:16:18'make sure I handle it gently and don't let it feel too restrained.'
0:16:30 > 0:16:33The yellow-lipped sea krait.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35They're beautiful,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40they're not at all aggressive to us,
0:16:40 > 0:16:45but they're incredibly toxic, venomous fish killers.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47And for that reason,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51they're going on the Deadly 60.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Yellow-lipped sea krait swims and slithers to my list.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17'So we're drying off and heading inland to the Philippine jungles.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21'Our next fierce creature only comes out at night.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28'I'm never one to miss an adventure, so as we wait for the sun to go down,
0:17:28 > 0:17:32'I'm going to drag the crew out to a nearby mangrove swamp,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34'in case we see something exciting.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36'This stork-billed kingfisher
0:17:36 > 0:17:40'is a mangrove forest resident and it's looking for a meal.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48'In the thick mangrove mud we find something that could be on its menu.'
0:17:48 > 0:17:54These mudskippers really are remarkable little fish.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58There's hundreds of them all round the water's edge here.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00They can breathe air.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03They're equally at home in the water or on land.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09The thing is, these fish are right at the bottom of the food chain.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Almost everything round here would love to get a mouthful of one.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18So if they're attacked, they either scuttle for the water or the land.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26'With dusk approaching,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29'we need to get on the trail of our deadly animal.'
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Our next target animal
0:18:39 > 0:18:43is a vicious little demon that haunts these forests by night.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47It's an animal I've been hoping to see for many years,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51but they're very shy, very secretive and very, very rarely seen.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54They have tiny, pointed teeth
0:18:54 > 0:19:00and eyes are bigger than their own brain and they're called the tarsier.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07'The tarsier is one of the freakiest-looking animals
0:19:07 > 0:19:09'we'll see on the Deadly 60.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12'And when it comes to hunting at night,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15'this furry critter turns into a monster...
0:19:15 > 0:19:19'And munches its prey head first.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21'Grim!'
0:19:26 > 0:19:27During the daytime,
0:19:27 > 0:19:32tarsiers hang out in dense thickets and they don't do very much.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34But early evening, like now,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37is when they start heading out to try and find a meal.
0:19:37 > 0:19:44We're looking for a tiny, bouncing, hunting shape about this big.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53'We found a bouncing shape, but it's not a tarsier
0:19:53 > 0:19:57'and it says hello with a weird amphibian greeting.'
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Oh, you!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Phantom wee-er of the Philippines!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10'This big, ugly critter is a cane toad
0:20:10 > 0:20:14'and we've already encountered him on the Deadly 60.'
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Even though it's an amphibian it's much bigger and heavier
0:20:19 > 0:20:21than the mammal that we're looking for.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26But he feeds on very much the same kind of things, so I guess
0:20:26 > 0:20:30he's something of a competitor, only he's down on the ground
0:20:30 > 0:20:35and the tarsiers are bouncing around looking for insects in the trees.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42'With our search focused on the trees, suddenly the shout goes up.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44'A springing shape has been spotted.'
0:20:44 > 0:20:50Oh, wow! Johnny. Johnny. Where's Johnny? Come in here.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Oh, there he goes.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02OK, look. He's moving quite quickly, Johnny,
0:21:02 > 0:21:06so you'll have to stick with me... If I can stick with him. Wow!
0:21:06 > 0:21:09They don't half move.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I'm sure he came through this way.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19'That bouncing bundle of deadliness just disappeared into the night.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24'But another intriguing beast is curdled up in the undergrowth.'
0:21:26 > 0:21:28That is a big old millipede.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33See if he'll unfurl on my hand.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36There he goes.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41The likelihood of a tarsier
0:21:41 > 0:21:46eating a millipede, like this anyway, is fairly slim.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51The reason is, they have their own defence in the way of a whole
0:21:51 > 0:21:55bunch of toxins that they secrete from down here near the leg joints.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58It's rather poisonous and it also tastes absolutely foul.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I don't know that for a fact, I haven't tried to eat a millipede,
0:22:02 > 0:22:06but I guess a tarsier probably wouldn't either.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11OK. Back to the leaf litter for you.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14And back to our tarsier hunt.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26There! There! I see him. Johnny, come here.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Up there, look.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Coming down this tree here.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37Oh, he's going to bounce. He's looking off to his left.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Off like a shot.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48We've found our tarsier.
0:22:48 > 0:22:54He's just sat in a tree just a couple of feet in front of me.
0:22:56 > 0:23:02The most remarkable, bizarre little gremlin I've ever seen.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05It's almost like a hodge-podge...
0:23:05 > 0:23:09a mix of other nocturnal animals.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14Those huge eyes and the swivelling, turning head
0:23:14 > 0:23:17are very much like you'd see in an owl.
0:23:17 > 0:23:23The great big, thin, membranous ears and those sharp teeth
0:23:23 > 0:23:25are more like those you'd see on a bat.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29But in its own way it's even more effective than either.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34This is the consummate killer of the night.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39Let's see if we can see those incredible teeth in action.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44He spotted it straight away.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Look at those eyes. Straight on to it.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Go on! It's incredible.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58He sprung in.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Look at that. He's just a metre above my head.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06He's getting ready to spring.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Yes!
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Oh! That was awesome. And he's going to settle down
0:24:14 > 0:24:19over there somewhere and munch his way through that huge cricket.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Wow!
0:24:24 > 0:24:30Back legs seem to be completely disproportionately long to the body
0:24:30 > 0:24:35and allow it to make massive springs, bouncing in between the trees.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40Particularly if he's seen an insect that he's going to leap on,
0:24:40 > 0:24:44he could easily bounce three metres or so
0:24:44 > 0:24:48to just about any tree around here.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52So it's really, really difficult for poor Johnny, our cameraman,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55to try and keep him in the shot. Look at that!
0:24:55 > 0:24:58He's just the most impossible little gremlin.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01His ears are moving in every direction,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04focusing the sound, like a satellite dish.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06And he's spotted something.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11He's seen something. You can see his ear focus on it.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Then his head goes round. He sees it with his eyes and then... Boing!
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Just pounces off and grabs it.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Then off. Whoa!
0:25:28 > 0:25:33A pounce and a bite, all in one.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Look at that.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Mouth full to bursting.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Cheeks bulging with bush cricket.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44They look like they weigh about half as much as he does.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Though the majority of their diet is made up of insects,
0:25:48 > 0:25:52like this bush cricket, they will,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56if it comes down to it, feed on mammals smaller than themselves.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Lizards, frogs.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00They're not fussy.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08This is a really friendly little tarsier. He's actually coming to me.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Look at that!
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I think because I fed him before,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18he instantly thinks that I'm a source of food,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21so he's following me around.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29That was incredible!
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Yes! Oh!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Whoa! Look at that!
0:26:42 > 0:26:44They rock.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52The high-bouncing gremlin of the jungle,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54the tarsier, is on the Deadly 60.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13..the tarsier boings and bounces on to my list.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Coming up next time...
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Aaagh! Ooh! Hoo!
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Here they come.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Ooh!
