0:00:02 > 0:00:04My name's Steve Backshall...

0:00:04 > 0:00:05Wow!

0:00:05 > 0:00:08..and this is my mission, to find the Deadly 60.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12It's not just animals that are deadly to me,

0:00:12 > 0:00:16but animals that are deadly in their own world.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20My crew and I are exploring the planet.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23And you're coming with me every step of the way.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35We are in one of my favourite wildlife spots in the world.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37This is British Columbia in Canada.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43British Columbia is as far north as Great Britain.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46and about 5,000 miles to the left.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50It's at the same latitude - that's as far from the equator as the UK -

0:00:50 > 0:00:54but it gets way colder. It's an explorer's paradise,

0:00:54 > 0:00:58with infinite untouched wilderness and spectacular animals.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02But our deadly expedition is all at sea.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06And for the next few days we're never going to stray very far away

0:01:06 > 0:01:09from these amazing seas.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14We're going to base operations on a boat.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Come and meet my crew.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Permission to come aboard?

0:01:18 > 0:01:19Granted.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Here you can see all of our dive kit.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25- This is John, who's going to be diving with me.- Hello.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30This is James the director, who's messing around with my mask.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34It has little microphones so you can never escape what I'm saying,

0:01:34 > 0:01:39even when I'm underwater. This is Simon, our underwater cameraman.

0:01:39 > 0:01:44- Hi, Steve.- So there you go. This is where it all gets started.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49'My first deadly animal could be waiting in the deep water

0:01:49 > 0:01:51'below the boat.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00'Everything here is super-sized.

0:02:00 > 0:02:05'The seaweed grows in a towering forest called kelp.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09'And this forest is a home for swimming giants.

0:02:09 > 0:02:15'This chilly water is full of nutrients. Basically, fish food.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18'Imagine the air around you full of cheeseburgers.

0:02:18 > 0:02:23'Well, that's what these seas are like. And the animals love it!

0:02:23 > 0:02:25'Massive plumose anemones,

0:02:25 > 0:02:28'starfish as big as dustbin lids...

0:02:30 > 0:02:35'..and giant sea urchins. That is a good sign.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38'Amazingly there's something down here

0:02:38 > 0:02:41'that hunts these giant spiked creatures.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45'Any monster that can munch one of these spiky horrors

0:02:45 > 0:02:48'is just begging to go on my Deadly 60 list.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52'It's enough to strike fear into the heart of any urchin...

0:02:52 > 0:02:55'well, if urchins had hearts.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57'This is a wolf eel.'

0:03:03 > 0:03:07This reef is covered with astounding predators.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10But there's one in particular I've been trying to find.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13And it's got its whole immense bulk

0:03:13 > 0:03:15just hidden, down here.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Come and have a look at this.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Whoa! Look at that!

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Please don't take my fingers off.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42This magnificent creature is a wolf eel.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Here, come on.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Wow, look at that!

0:03:53 > 0:03:55The front teeth...

0:03:55 > 0:04:00are fierce and spiky. But the back teeth...

0:04:01 > 0:04:06..are molars, much like our own.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Where are you off to now?

0:04:10 > 0:04:14I'm a little bit concerned about where you are at the moment.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16I don't want you down there.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20'Those teeth are his secret weapon.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24'After all, if you can munch through urchin's spines,

0:04:24 > 0:04:28'well, you could certainly make a right mess of my fingers.'

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Ah, look at that!

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Look at the size of the head on this magnificent creature!

0:04:41 > 0:04:45Actually, its head's probably as big as mine is.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49Though it's called the wolf eel,

0:04:49 > 0:04:54there not actually an eel at all. They are truly a fish.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56In fact... Oh!

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Don't you go for my fingers, son!

0:04:58 > 0:05:01..they are most closely related to the blennies,

0:05:01 > 0:05:05the tiny fish that you find in rock pools.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07I think you'd get a bit of a shock

0:05:07 > 0:05:11if you were to find one of these in a rock pool.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12You are magnificent.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Oh, look at that!

0:05:20 > 0:05:23He's nibbling on our second cameraman.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Whoa! He's... Ha-ha!

0:05:30 > 0:05:34He's just gone between James, my director's, legs.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37You're looking a little bit worried there, James!

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Ah, look at that!

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Back into his burrow where he feels secure.

0:05:50 > 0:05:55This is how this magnificent animal will spend most of its daytime.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58But at night it's a very different story.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02They are much more active in their hunting.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05And if you see one of these tucking into a sea urchin,

0:06:05 > 0:06:08it's a truly awesome sight.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10'Watch this!

0:06:12 > 0:06:16'They have incredibly strong jaws and front teeth like chisels.

0:06:16 > 0:06:21'They munch through sea urchins like a bag of crisps.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25'Once they've discarded the needle-like spines,

0:06:25 > 0:06:28'urchins actually make a pretty good meal.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31'These guys are as hard as nails.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35'Well, actually they could probably eat nails.'

0:06:36 > 0:06:39They really are monstrous.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Amazing!

0:06:46 > 0:06:51I think you have to agree that the wolf eel has to be on the Deadly 60.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57'With a gigantic football-sized head,

0:06:57 > 0:07:00'its fearsome teeth look like ice picks

0:07:00 > 0:07:05'cheerfully munching its way through the world's spiniest creatures.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08'The wolf eel, ugly, yes.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10'But also on my list.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14'After so long under water it's time for new air cylinders

0:07:14 > 0:07:18'before I can get back on the trail of deadly animals.

0:07:18 > 0:07:23'And I've got a pretty strong idea of my next target animal.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25'A short boat-ride away is Dillon Rock.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29'The water below this lighthouse is home to a giant predator

0:07:29 > 0:07:31'that makes these waters famous.'

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Looks like John's found something cool.

0:07:36 > 0:07:41He's leading us off in a different direction.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Not sure what it is, but he seems quite excited.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Oh, wow! Look at this!

0:07:51 > 0:07:55There's a large area...

0:07:55 > 0:07:59of scattered shells...

0:07:59 > 0:08:03big chunks of dead crab...

0:08:06 > 0:08:12Look up here. We've got the carapace of a dead crab.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16This is definitely the work...

0:08:16 > 0:08:21of the super-predator that we've come here to find.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Now all we need to do is find the animal itself.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30'The huge creature we're looking for

0:08:30 > 0:08:33'is a specialist at dismembering its armoured prey.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36'And it's leaving us a trail of clues to follow.'

0:08:38 > 0:08:40I think Simon might have one.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43'And the clues lead us right to its den.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47'May I present the giant Pacific octopus.'

0:08:47 > 0:08:50And let's peek through this hole...

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Oh, my goodness! Yes, I see one.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55Oh, wow.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Now that is a big octopus.

0:09:01 > 0:09:07Apparently these octopus are so curious...

0:09:07 > 0:09:12that if they sense the warmth of your hand...

0:09:12 > 0:09:17they will actually come out to try and get a closer feel of it.

0:09:18 > 0:09:23'I just hope I don't get introduced to its vicious, biting beak!'

0:09:25 > 0:09:30Oh, wow, its tentacles are gripping my fingers! That's amazing!

0:09:30 > 0:09:31Come on then.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Wow, what a grip!

0:09:36 > 0:09:38That's phenomenal!

0:09:40 > 0:09:43They have amazing suction power.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Wow! Oh, my goodness.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50It feels like it could rip my arm out of its sockets.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51Oh!

0:09:51 > 0:09:55'The giant Pacific octopus is the largest on the planet.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58'It can be as big as a family-sized tent.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01'So how did it get into this tiny crack?

0:10:03 > 0:10:07'Well, that's because octopus have no bones in their body.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10'The only hard bit is their parrot-like beak,

0:10:10 > 0:10:15'so they can squeeze through a small space like a wet dishcloth.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24'Unfortunately this octopus is not coming out of its den.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27'To put this animal on my list I want to see one in the open.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31'For now, our dive is over. But we'll be back.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35'As I head towards the surface, I get a surprise...'

0:10:36 > 0:10:40I just heard in my earpiece, from the top,

0:10:40 > 0:10:43that there are whales in the channel.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46So I think we should go up and go and have a look.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Come on, let's go.

0:10:48 > 0:10:54'These are no ordinary whales. They're killer whales, or orca.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Going to try and get ourselves ready and see if we can intercept them.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04That would be an absolute triumph. I've tried to film orca for years

0:11:04 > 0:11:06and never quite succeeded.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Can someone get my...

0:11:11 > 0:11:17'Orca are possibly the most awesome predators on the planet.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21'They have it all. Size, speed and power.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30'They have teeth the size of my thumbs

0:11:30 > 0:11:34'and perhaps the most deadly feature of all, they're clever.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40'These orca hunt sea lion pups,

0:11:40 > 0:11:44'risking stranding themselves on the beach in order to get their meal.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47'High risk, but child's play for the orca.'

0:11:54 > 0:12:00'If the reports are correct, they could be about to cruise past us.'

0:12:01 > 0:12:03There they are!

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Fantastic. No more than about 100 yards off the side of the boat.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09I see three animals already.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14There... Oh, my goodness! Almost like a breach.

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Oh!

0:12:19 > 0:12:22It's actually quite a large group.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Here, here!

0:12:32 > 0:12:36The dorsal fins are all quite small. They're females.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40This is incredible.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44The animal that I was most hoping to see is right here.

0:12:51 > 0:12:56I think I'm going to try and get in the water, in the kayak.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04'The orca round here mostly feed on fish.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07'But some orca feed entirely on mammals -

0:13:07 > 0:13:09'and I'm a mammal.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13'I'll come clean, this is a slightly nervy moment.'

0:13:13 > 0:13:15This is almost spooky.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19Just sitting here with the sea absolutely glassy-smooth

0:13:19 > 0:13:24but knowing that somewhere beneath me is possibly, I think,

0:13:24 > 0:13:28the most spectacular predator in the world.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31And they could pop up anywhere. They are so quick

0:13:31 > 0:13:34they could pop up half a mile in the distance, or...

0:13:34 > 0:13:36they could be right alongside me.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43My heart's going like I've just done the 100m sprint.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51There they are.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Wow!

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Oh, I don't believe how close they've come.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Oh!

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Wow!

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Wow, look at that tail slap!

0:14:16 > 0:14:18This is a small pod.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23There'll be males and females in this group. Some very young,

0:14:23 > 0:14:26but they all come from the same matrilineal -

0:14:26 > 0:14:28from the line of the mother.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Look at them. I reckon they're playing at the moment.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Orca are the largest of the dolphins and like all dolphins

0:14:43 > 0:14:47they have a lot of distinct parts to their day.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51So sometimes they'll be travelling, sometimes feeding, sometimes...

0:14:51 > 0:14:54they'll be playing, like now!

0:14:54 > 0:14:55Unbelievable!

0:14:55 > 0:14:59that's incredible. This is called breaching.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03It's supposed to remove parasites from the skins of the orca.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06But when you look at something like that you've got to say

0:15:06 > 0:15:08they are just playing!

0:15:08 > 0:15:11I mean, if you could do that you would, wouldn't you?

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Orca need to spend a good deal of their day

0:15:14 > 0:15:17interacting with the others in their group.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21They have such big brains, they need time to get to know each other

0:15:21 > 0:15:23and just to muck around.

0:15:23 > 0:15:29This has already been the most exciting two minutes of my life.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Look at that. They are magnificent.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36I don't want to chase them. It's very important

0:15:36 > 0:15:40that I don't go into their space, I let them come into mine.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44But they don't seem to be bothered by us.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Oh, my goodness!

0:15:52 > 0:15:56It just breached right in front of me.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Wow! Look at that.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06This is THE wildlife spectacle in this part of the world.

0:16:09 > 0:16:14'Rarely for my crew, they're almost speechless.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16'Apart from Johnny on the main camera.'

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Amazing. Really is.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22- They're very close to him. - How close are they?

0:16:22 > 0:16:2410, 15m, something like that.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26Should he be scared at this point?

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Steve? No.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39Every one of these orca could weigh as much as a small truck.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43But they are incredibly manoeuvrable, very, very fast.

0:16:43 > 0:16:48Killer whales are probably the fastest mammal in the seas.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50And certainly, for long distances,

0:16:50 > 0:16:54they can travel enormous distances in a day.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02I don't believe what I'm seeing here.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08Look at this. They are coming together right in front of me!

0:17:08 > 0:17:12They call orca the wolves of the sea. Not just because

0:17:12 > 0:17:13of their incredible teeth,

0:17:13 > 0:17:18but also because they hunt cooperatively, together in groups.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21And I think that's what's happening around me now. Look!

0:17:21 > 0:17:27I think now I've probably got about 15 animals, all very, very close.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33'It's not just adults here.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36'There are plenty of young calves in amongst them.'

0:17:37 > 0:17:42Oh! It frightens the life out of you

0:17:42 > 0:17:44when they come to the surface like that.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48It's like an explosion of air and water out of their blowhole.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52He's going right underneath me! I can see him.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Right underneath my boat!

0:17:54 > 0:17:56That's...

0:17:56 > 0:18:00He's about three metres away from me, looking up at me.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04He turned on his side and looked straight in my eye!

0:18:06 > 0:18:07Oh!

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Wow, he just...

0:18:10 > 0:18:13he just popped up, right alongside me.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18I think they just really want to find out

0:18:18 > 0:18:22what this strange, plastic, yellow boat in their world is.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25'I'm seeing firsthand how intelligent they are.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29'But let's not forget, that's what makes them deadly.'

0:18:33 > 0:18:38And then they disappear and the surface just goes completely glassy

0:18:38 > 0:18:40and you'd never know they were here.

0:18:46 > 0:18:51Well, if you needed any evidence that that is an animal

0:18:51 > 0:18:55with a big brain, that's incredibly curious and incredibly playful,

0:18:55 > 0:18:59you just couldn't want for more than that. That's unreal.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03Absolutely unreal. One of the best wildlife experiences I've ever had.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06And orca are definitely going on the Deadly 60.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09Yes!

0:19:12 > 0:19:16'As fast as a speedboat, they're the quickest mammal in the sea.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19'Weighing as much as two elephants,

0:19:19 > 0:19:23'they hunt as a team using submarine-style echo location.

0:19:23 > 0:19:28'Orca could be the most deadly animal in the world.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31'That's two deadly animals down

0:19:31 > 0:19:36'but it's time to get back on the trail of the giant octopus.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39'I know they're here, but haven't managed to get one to pop out

0:19:39 > 0:19:42'and say hello. I reckon my best chance will be to dive at night

0:19:42 > 0:19:44'when they might be out hunting.'

0:19:47 > 0:19:50This is amazing.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54Just looks so wild and weird down here at night.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58Lots of unusual creatures looming out of the darkness.

0:20:01 > 0:20:06These bizarre, primitive looking fish

0:20:06 > 0:20:10are called chimera.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13What a wonderful creature. And they're everywhere.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23'This is a whole lot of crab.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27'Perfect food for a giant octopus.'

0:20:27 > 0:20:31It's a king crab.

0:20:31 > 0:20:36Look at that. Absolutely magnificent.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39But the giant octopus makes short work of them.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Just rips them apart with its muscular arms.

0:20:45 > 0:20:51'So, the octopus' dinner is here, but where's our hero?'

0:20:57 > 0:21:00We were looking for a giant Pacific octopus

0:21:00 > 0:21:04and Simon's found a tiny Pacific octopus.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Look at that.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Rather lovely.

0:21:15 > 0:21:20But we were really rather hoping to find one of your big brothers.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Any idea where I can start looking?

0:21:25 > 0:21:28'So, all we had for our efforts was a charming,

0:21:28 > 0:21:30'but very small, baby octopus.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32'I wasn't going to give up though.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35'Tomorrow we're going to get one last go.'

0:21:39 > 0:21:42'We know the giant Pacific octopus are here.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45'We found their dens, we've even seen a baby.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48'But our goal is to see one out in the open.'

0:21:54 > 0:21:57It's our last day, very early in the morning.

0:21:57 > 0:22:01The water is looking particularly cold. This is our very last chance

0:22:01 > 0:22:05at tempting one of those giant Pacific octopus out of its den.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08I think it's safe to say that we've pretty much given up hope

0:22:08 > 0:22:11of doing it. Is that fair to say, Simon?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13No. No, never give up hope.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Oh, well at least he's positive. Ha-ha!

0:22:18 > 0:22:20'OK, so I wasn't hopeful.

0:22:20 > 0:22:26'But not long into the dive and signs were looking good.

0:22:26 > 0:22:30'The water was clear. Everywhere I turned there was life of some sort.'

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Simon!

0:22:42 > 0:22:45'And then we spotted the trail of crab bodies and shells

0:22:45 > 0:22:48'left behind by a hunting octopus.'

0:22:50 > 0:22:52I think Simon might have one.

0:22:54 > 0:22:55Oh, yes! I see it.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00There he is.

0:23:02 > 0:23:03Wow!

0:23:05 > 0:23:07Now that is a big octopus.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Oh, my goodness.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18He's absolutely monstrous.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22And I thought this was a small one!

0:23:26 > 0:23:30Look at those tentacles.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34That is just insane.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41Oh, wow! So strong.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49I don't want my hand too close to his mouth.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53Because he could actually do me quite a lot of damage.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Let's just see if we can get him out into the open.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Look at the size of him!

0:24:02 > 0:24:08This is one of the most intelligent invertebrates on the planet.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12And I think one of the most extraordinary creatures

0:24:12 > 0:24:15that we'll ever see on the Deadly 60.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Look at the way the mantle, the head,

0:24:20 > 0:24:24bobbles up with these tiny projections, and changes in colour

0:24:24 > 0:24:27so that he blends in with his background.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33Moving across the bottom with that beautiful

0:24:33 > 0:24:36stretching out of the tentacles.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40Just feeling his way through his environment.

0:24:41 > 0:24:48He is the weirdest, most majestic creature I've seen in these seas.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52But they are also phenomenal predators.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02'A giant Pacific octopus can move around underwater

0:25:02 > 0:25:04'in several ways.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07'It can propel itself with a water jet called a siphon,

0:25:07 > 0:25:09'driving it along at speed...

0:25:11 > 0:25:15'..or grapple and crawl its way along using its eight tentacles.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18'As a crab killer, it is without equal.

0:25:18 > 0:25:23'It can catch hold of a crab with just the tip of one tentacle.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26'Engulfed in those arms, a hard beak goes to work,

0:25:26 > 0:25:28'smashing and ripping through the crab's shell,

0:25:28 > 0:25:33'tearing its armour off and leaving its soft body exposed.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35'It's dinner time.'

0:25:38 > 0:25:40What a creature!

0:25:41 > 0:25:43He is utterly phenomenal.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48At first it's kind of tentative,

0:25:48 > 0:25:51but the power, when they actually pull back,

0:25:51 > 0:25:56and decide to really pull towards their beak-like mouthparts

0:25:56 > 0:25:59is actually very frightening.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05Particularly when you consider that this is actually quite a small

0:26:05 > 0:26:09Pacific octopus. They can get to be, wait for it...

0:26:09 > 0:26:12nine metres in width!

0:26:14 > 0:26:17So, if you can try and imagine an octopus

0:26:17 > 0:26:24that has an arm span like a truck, I think you'll have the idea.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31Wow, that is just stunning.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36I've waited a long time

0:26:36 > 0:26:39for my encounter with a giant Pacific octopus,

0:26:39 > 0:26:41but it was well, well worth it.

0:26:41 > 0:26:46The giant pacific octopus is definitely going on the Deadly 60.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Come on!

0:26:51 > 0:26:54'It's the world's biggest octopus,

0:26:54 > 0:26:57'with a brain capable of cunning.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00'And it cane be twice the length of a van.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04'One of my favourite submariners on the Deadly 60.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07'The giant Pacific octopus.'

0:27:10 > 0:27:11Woo!

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Last dive.

0:27:18 > 0:27:23And that big, beautiful octopus came out to say hello.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25How about that.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Next time on deadly 60...
