:03:35. > :03:39.pleased to be back and we are about to crank the deadliness up a notch
:03:39. > :03:43.or 3, isn't that right? Over the course of the series, I will be
:03:43. > :03:48.introducing you to some of the most lethal animals on earth. It will be
:03:48. > :03:53.things like the most venomous snakes, spiders and scorpions, and
:03:53. > :03:58.it will also involve me diving live with sharks. I'm not joking, we
:03:58. > :04:05.will be doing it, but today we start with one lethal hero inside
:04:05. > :04:13.this box. Pliny to make sure I am wearing this club because it has a
:04:13. > :04:20.sharp set of teeth, but firstly watch this. This is not a dinosaur,
:04:20. > :04:24.this lizard is a thoroughly modern animal. It Tong is what it uses to
:04:24. > :04:32.sense the environment, they are opportunists, not foresee. They
:04:32. > :04:36.will eat eggs no problem whatsoever, even go for turtle hatchlings. But
:04:36. > :04:42.this it is an animal that will take any opportunity that comes its way.
:04:42. > :04:46.They are great climbers, swimmers, and they can run. The biggest of
:04:46. > :04:53.all of them is the commode or a dragon. You can't believe it is not
:04:53. > :05:03.a dinosaur - look at that! I have a very keen lizard inside here now,
:05:03. > :05:03.
:05:03. > :05:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:05:46. > :05:54.and as he comes out into the open, Can you hear the crunching as its
:05:54. > :06:00.teeth go through the school? They appointed, very sharp. They look
:06:00. > :06:02.more in place in a shark's mouth. I more in place in a shark's mouth. I
:06:02. > :06:07.would not want to get bitten. Look at the way it is bracing itself,
:06:07. > :06:16.pushing backwards to get a really good hold of the fish. It is going
:06:16. > :06:20.to tear a chunk out and stuff it down in one go. You are absolutely
:06:20. > :06:24.wonderful. Monitor lizards are my favourite groups of animals. We
:06:24. > :06:31.will have lots more deadly creatures on the series and they
:06:31. > :06:37.will feature on the top 10 leaderboard. Definitely a contender
:06:37. > :06:44.for the ultimate top Ten deadliest, but what is the Live 'n' Deadly Top
:06:44. > :06:49.Ten deadliest? This is it. Each episode will be stacked with deadly
:06:49. > :06:54.animals from around the world, so let's get this list on the way with
:06:54. > :06:58.the fearsome water monitor. As we go through the show, we will put
:06:59. > :07:04.all the animals up here that we meet in each episode, so by the end
:07:04. > :07:09.of the series it will be up to us to decide which animal deserves a
:07:09. > :07:14.place on the Top Ten deadliest list. By the end of the series, this side
:07:14. > :07:22.of the board will be the who's who of deadly animals. You can join in
:07:22. > :07:26.as well, the way to do it is to go to the website. You can get on the
:07:26. > :07:36.message board, chat about the great adventures you have been doing over
:07:36. > :07:36.
:07:36. > :07:40.the summer holidays. You can send in questions for Steve, and you can
:07:40. > :07:46.also send in photographs. We would like to see pictures of you and
:07:46. > :07:55.your animals getting wet 'n' wild. If you have got a picture, send it
:07:55. > :07:59.in. Attach it to en email, he raised the address. Send your name
:07:59. > :08:06.and your phone number with your photograph, and may be some time in
:08:06. > :08:14.the series your photo may show up. Gaming fans - we have got two brand
:08:14. > :08:19.new games. Deadly scramble and dead planet. If you want to play dead
:08:19. > :08:24.the planet, stay tuned because you need a secret code to get a special
:08:24. > :08:30.power up within the game. Stay tuned to find out more details. The
:08:30. > :08:35.promise you some fun on the water, that is what you are about to get.
:08:35. > :08:40.If you were watching last time, you will know we introduce you to some
:08:40. > :08:44.inspirational people, people like James Bebbington. James, I have
:08:44. > :08:52.been impressed with you on the water. Will you show us some tricks
:08:52. > :08:59.now? Absolutely. The whole nation is watching, get stuck in. In he
:08:59. > :09:06.goes. Trust me, this is going to be extraordinary. He is dropping now
:09:06. > :09:13.over the fall into the first rapid. That wasn't supposed to happen! He
:09:13. > :09:23.managed to cope with it remarkably well. These are cartwheels and he
:09:23. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :09:29.is using the water itself. I don't believe he just did that! A fall on
:09:29. > :09:39.somersault, and another one. There is no doubt he is enjoying himself
:09:39. > :09:42.
:09:42. > :09:47.fear. I wish I could do that! That was super. Joining us on the side.
:09:47. > :09:57.It is not artificial courses only that he does his paddling on, he
:09:57. > :10:20.
:10:20. > :10:27.does it in the wild world. If you I think I might have a new hero.
:10:27. > :10:31.was so amazed and impressed. That was phenomenal. Thank you.
:10:31. > :10:36.kayaking rather than any other sport? I started when I was 12
:10:36. > :10:42.years old, it is a passion of mine. It is a great way of experiencing
:10:42. > :10:49.nature and you get to go places you can't really go without getting out
:10:49. > :10:54.were in a kayak. So what got you into this sport? I saw a guy
:10:54. > :10:58.running a waterfall on TV. So one of you guys watching today might
:10:58. > :11:02.see him on the telly and think I might have a go at that. If there
:11:02. > :11:09.is somebody sitting at home right now, what advice would you give to
:11:09. > :11:14.them? Find your local canoe Club and they will teach you the basics,
:11:14. > :11:20.teach you how to be safe. Then they will put you on light-water and
:11:20. > :11:26.then you get to do stuff like this. It obviously takes a lot of hard
:11:26. > :11:31.work. It takes a bit of practice, and some people will like it, but a
:11:31. > :11:37.lot of people will really love it. You are being very modest but this
:11:37. > :11:45.has been a good year for you, hasn't it? It has been fantastic. I
:11:45. > :11:50.won the championships in July. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a
:11:50. > :11:55.world champion on our first programme! We wish you were all the
:11:55. > :12:00.best of future competitions, but it is not just in this country, is it?
:12:00. > :12:08.You have been out there in Uganda. I lived there for the year, working
:12:09. > :12:18.there. It is fantastic. From what I remember in Uganda, there is a lot
:12:19. > :12:24.
:12:24. > :12:29.of hippos. Yes, hippos, 200 he posed per kilometre. That is
:12:29. > :12:36.something I would love to see, hippos on the rapids. What other
:12:36. > :12:42.wildlife do you come across? Birds, otters, fish. What about
:12:42. > :12:47.crocodiles? You do see quite a few. It is funny you should mention that
:12:47. > :12:54.because we have some here now. I'm afraid I'm going to ask you to get
:12:54. > :12:59.back in the water, because our very own princess likes to challenge our
:12:59. > :13:04.celebrity guests so we are going to throw you in the white water for a
:13:04. > :13:10.challenge. Go and get into position and I will tell you what you have
:13:10. > :13:15.got to do in a minute. Now it is time to meet this week's intrepid
:13:15. > :13:25.adventurers. Steve set them a mission to go deep into a gorge in
:13:25. > :13:26.
:13:26. > :13:31.Snowdonia. This week's mission is not for the faint-hearted, and
:13:31. > :13:36.where better to set this challenge than in one of my favourite places
:13:36. > :13:41.in the UK - Snowdonia in North Wales, the perfect spot for an epic
:13:41. > :13:46.adventure. With its fast, furious rivers, and steep gorges, I am
:13:46. > :13:50.going to need a team with a head for heights and nerves of steel. I
:13:50. > :13:59.have tracked down a team of climbers who should be up for the
:13:59. > :14:09.challenge. My name is Sophie and I am 13. My name is Brian and I am 14.
:14:09. > :14:10.
:14:10. > :14:15.I am 13. I am 11 years old. I am Joe and I am 12 years old. We are
:14:15. > :14:23.young climbers. Their instructor has a message for them. Gather
:14:23. > :14:29.round, we have a mission from Steve. I it understand you are all
:14:29. > :14:33.climbers, good on you. Today I have a very special challenge for you, I
:14:33. > :14:36.want you to take those indoor skills and drive them out in the
:14:36. > :14:41.great outdoors. I want you to follow the journey of one of the
:14:41. > :14:46.most extraordinary creatures on the planet. Atlantic salmon make the
:14:46. > :14:50.journey from the sea back to rivers, swimming against the flow, so your
:14:51. > :14:55.mission is to follow their journey, gorge scrambling up stream. You
:14:55. > :15:05.will need some assistance but I have found the perfect group to
:15:05. > :15:10.
:15:10. > :15:17.take care of you. Up for it? The team make their way to meet
:15:17. > :15:20.their instructive. Well come, my name is Lawrence and I am you are
:15:20. > :15:25.scrambling instructor for today. But there is a little bit of extra
:15:26. > :15:30.kit needed. Because this will be a whole different world of climbing.
:15:30. > :15:34.A wet suit will keep them warm in the fast-moving water. A climbing
:15:34. > :15:39.harness will help them tackle the tricky parts of the gorge. A
:15:39. > :15:46.buoyancy aid to keep them afloat in the deeper pools. And of course,
:15:46. > :15:56.the all important Helmut. Now we are all kitted up, let us go and
:15:56. > :16:01.
:16:01. > :16:09.Good stuff. Get a little deeper here. There is a lot more where
:16:09. > :16:15.that came from! Welcome to the World of the salmon. OK, we are
:16:15. > :16:20.heading into the gorge so we have some say to rules. First is Gray is
:16:20. > :16:24.the grip, Green is for slept. If it looks green, it is probably slippy.
:16:24. > :16:29.The rock might be wet, it does not mean it is that the, if you are not
:16:29. > :16:37.sure, give it at Test with you for it and see if it is slippy. But as
:16:37. > :16:42.head on. Good luck. I think you will need it! Atlantic salmon are
:16:42. > :16:50.powerful swimmers, able to jump up waterfalls over three metres high.
:16:50. > :17:00.And all against the flow of the surging river. Now, it is up to our
:17:00. > :17:01.
:17:01. > :17:06.team to follow their path. OK, guys. Welcome to the gorge, this is colt
:17:06. > :17:10.the elephant. We are going to go through this and under it. You can
:17:10. > :17:16.imagine how hard that would be for the salmon. If you want to go first,
:17:16. > :17:26.OK? It is time to put those in poor climbing skills to the test.
:17:26. > :17:42.
:17:42. > :17:47.climb when ready. Key to the right. As our team make great progress up
:17:47. > :17:51.the waterfall, using their climbing skills and a little help from the
:17:51. > :17:58.ropes, the salmon used their powerful muscles and streamlined
:17:59. > :18:08.bodies to battle against the current. Well done ex-pats good
:18:09. > :18:10.
:18:10. > :18:14.stuff. Well done! That was quite hard, but it was really fun. Well
:18:14. > :18:18.done, you made it, do you think the salmon could do it? Yes, but it
:18:19. > :18:22.would be really hard. We have not got as wet as the salmon yet and we
:18:22. > :18:26.are going to do that now. I am going to show you how to do at
:18:26. > :18:32.belly-flop jump into the pool. I think the salmon would probably
:18:32. > :18:38.like this pool. Lawrence knows this caught inside out and can show the
:18:38. > :18:43.team the safest places to jump. But he cannot let them have all the fun.
:18:43. > :18:53.Just down here, I am going to put my arms out and a nice big belly
:18:53. > :18:57.
:18:57. > :19:07.flop. Three, too, one, go! OK, now it is your turn. Three, two, one,
:19:07. > :19:25.
:19:25. > :19:29.Bands, Steve, I am having a great day. Brilliant work. You have
:19:29. > :19:32.really put those climbing skills to the test in the big outdoors. And
:19:32. > :19:40.you have given those salmon a run for their money. I am very
:19:40. > :19:43.impressed. I think the salmon are amazing. They can jump up what -- a
:19:43. > :19:48.waterfall that is really high. really enjoying it because all the
:19:48. > :19:51.water is coming down on you. It is really fun to climb out doors.
:19:52. > :19:58.wonder what the team think of the salmon now they have been submerged
:19:58. > :20:03.in the world. Salmon are really amazing! I could not agree but you
:20:03. > :20:08.more. As a qualified gorge scrambling instructor, Lawrence has
:20:08. > :20:13.found the perfect spot to end the day. This may not be part of the
:20:13. > :20:23.salmon's journey, but it does look like a lot of fun. I am loving this
:20:23. > :20:49.
:20:49. > :20:53.One's ambition! Well done, that was brilliant. -- what a mission. They
:20:53. > :20:57.have both had to contend that crocs in their time, but today there croc
:20:57. > :21:01.will become their friend. We will send at them what could be the pop
:21:01. > :21:04.-- the hardest whitewater course in the world with an inflatable croc.
:21:05. > :21:08.We do not make it easy for them. The first one through the red-and-
:21:08. > :21:14.white poles will be the winner but I think they must have their crops
:21:14. > :21:24.with them or I will disqualified them. -- clocks. Hold on tight and
:21:24. > :21:26.
:21:26. > :21:31.fingers crossed we will see them at the end. Free, two, one, go! Can he
:21:31. > :21:41.do as well this time? James, you can tell he has been under water so
:21:41. > :21:43.
:21:43. > :21:53.13,000 litres of water running down here every second, that is enough
:21:53. > :21:59.
:21:59. > :22:06.to fill an Olympic swimming pool. And here they come. Go on, James.
:22:06. > :22:16.Grab the rope, Steve. I am afraid hour when there is James and he is
:22:16. > :22:19.
:22:19. > :22:29.just floating off into the distance. We have lost James. No crocodile
:22:29. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:37.tears from you! It was horrible! Get your breath back. It is time
:22:37. > :22:41.for the part of the programme where I make it my personal mission to
:22:41. > :22:48.find the friendlier, fluffier and cut their side of deadliness. In an
:22:48. > :22:54.item I like to call Dead Cute. Hello, nice to meet you. Who have
:22:54. > :23:00.we got in here? To Baby West African dwarf crocodiles. Would you
:23:00. > :23:05.like to hold them? Is it safe? These guys are brilliant. We use
:23:05. > :23:11.them for Educational Tools. They will not bite. A wild one would buy.
:23:11. > :23:15.If you can hold its tail like that. I never thought I would be meeting
:23:15. > :23:23.a crocodile. But these guys, how can you resist them? They are
:23:23. > :23:27.lovely. What got you into crocodiles? I am quite another to
:23:27. > :23:31.person, I could not keep cats and rabbits and things like that as
:23:31. > :23:35.pets, so why pestered mum and dad until they gave in and let me start
:23:35. > :23:43.keeping reptiles. I have always had a fascination with crocodiles, they
:23:43. > :23:46.are the perfect predator. And they have massive IDPs. The reason they
:23:46. > :23:51.have big guys when they are a young like this is because they have a
:23:51. > :24:00.lot of predators, a lot of animals eat them and have very small amount
:24:00. > :24:04.of them survive. Just 1%? Do they have any defence mechanisms?
:24:04. > :24:09.thing they use is this little square patch, which is light brown
:24:09. > :24:19.at the moment, it is a camera flash thing they used, it looks like a
:24:19. > :24:27.dead floating leaf. They are cute! Little short snouts. At this size,
:24:27. > :24:30.they are irresistible. There is no doubt that croc Dow hatchlings are
:24:30. > :24:36.very cute. But eventually they will grow up into something like this.
:24:37. > :24:42.This is an adult African dwarf crocodiles. And even though it is
:24:42. > :24:46.not massive, it is still a very stocky and sturdy and powerful
:24:46. > :24:50.animal and it has all the features you might find on some of a lot has
:24:50. > :24:56.crocodiles. It has this flattened tail which is great for driving it
:24:56. > :25:01.through the water. And it can be surprisingly quick and snappy! I
:25:01. > :25:05.have to restrain it a little bit. Even though that's now it is very
:25:05. > :25:11.broad and it is quite short, it is good for snapping down on
:25:11. > :25:15.crustaceans, it is very powerful when it closes shut. But to keep it
:25:15. > :25:21.closed, it only requires a single finger. The doors that open the
:25:21. > :25:25.mouth are nothing like as strong. You can see this is an animal that
:25:25. > :25:33.actually, it could really do an enormous amount of damage. What
:25:33. > :25:39.hatchlings, even when they are very That could be a year after they
:25:39. > :25:44.have hatched out, they can still call. And the female will come
:25:44. > :25:49.rushing to their aid. And a female, even an African dwarf crocodiles,
:25:49. > :25:54.is not something to be trifled with. This one is quite small. They are
:25:54. > :25:57.not all small. If you do not believe me, look at this. There are
:25:58. > :26:02.just over 20 different species of crocodile around the world and they
:26:02. > :26:06.have the same basic body plan. They have a flattened head to drive them
:26:06. > :26:12.through the water, eyes and nostrils on top of the head so they
:26:12. > :26:16.can remain under water but still be able to see their prey. They come
:26:16. > :26:21.and a variety of different sizes. A smaller crocodiles might take birds
:26:21. > :26:27.or fish. But there are true monsters out there, monsters like

:26:31. > :26:37.They can take prey as large as does wildebeest. Look at it there, just
:26:37. > :26:47.dragging these animals into the water. The power and ferocity is
:26:47. > :26:48.
:26:48. > :26:52.absolutely extraordinary. Look at that, that is a true dinosaur.
:26:52. > :27:02.I can show you some of those crocodiles Features right now, if
:27:02. > :27:08.Pat Wall coming closer. -- if Pat will coming closer. I can show you
:27:08. > :27:13.that I lead. See if it will blink. It has a main I live here and this
:27:13. > :27:17.one below. There is also a third eyelid which acts like a pair of
:27:17. > :27:22.goggles, cleaning the high and helping them to see underwater. You
:27:22. > :27:26.can see now that the eyes are on top of the head. Then australs as
:27:26. > :27:32.well. So this animal can be completely under water and still
:27:32. > :27:37.see an breeze. It is marvellously camouflaged. None of it is uniform,
:27:37. > :27:41.it is a morass of different shades and sports and different shapes
:27:41. > :27:46.that are made by piece gales, it breaks up the outline. It is a
:27:46. > :27:52.wonderfully camouflaged animal. It can swim at great speed. It can run
:27:52. > :27:59.along the bottom. It is an absolute master. When it is fully grown, it
:27:59. > :28:04.is definitely deadly. Well, I am going with irresistibly cute when
:28:04. > :28:08.they are small, but when they grow up, definitely a contender for
:28:08. > :28:12.Ultimate Top Ten Deadliest. Up it goes. We will see what animals from
:28:12. > :28:17.today's programme will go on to the ultimate leaderboard later. Last

:29:21. > :29:25.them, you can only unlock with a secret code. You get special powers

:30:02. > :30:12.part of the show we like to call... The Big Adventure! Although this
:30:12. > :30:12.
:30:12. > :30:17.We have some incredible birds of prey living on our doorstep. There
:30:17. > :30:23.is some impressive talent out there - the peregrine falcon, the goshawk
:30:23. > :30:28.with its astonishing precision accuracy, and of course the golden
:30:28. > :30:35.eagle. But the one that always catches my eye is the one we refer
:30:35. > :30:39.to as the aerial gymnast. It is of course the hobby. Powering through
:30:39. > :30:49.the air at incredible speeds, and one of the most agile birds in the
:30:49. > :30:52.
:30:52. > :30:57.sky. I am pretty eager to experience a piece of their world.
:30:57. > :31:04.Let's do it! I am clearly not able to fly by myself, so the only way I
:31:04. > :31:07.can get anywhere near his by wing walking. This is the closest I will
:31:07. > :31:13.ever come to experience in aerial acrobatics and catching a small
:31:13. > :31:18.glimpse of what it might be like to be a master of the skies, just like
:31:18. > :31:22.the hobby. Earlier today, I met up with Philip Holmes who knows about
:31:23. > :31:30.these incredible birds and might be able to prepare me for what is in
:31:30. > :31:36.store. They are aerial acrobats, aren't they? Yes, they are very
:31:36. > :31:41.fast birds, they can do 100 mph. They are in the air all the time as
:31:41. > :31:49.well. They don't stop when they catch a dragonfly, they just carry
:31:49. > :31:52.on. They can stop in the air, turnover, almost fly upside-down.
:31:53. > :32:02.Because they are chasing the dragon flies, they have got to be very
:32:03. > :32:03.
:32:03. > :32:13.fast. They are built for speed, and for a can they speed. So it behaves
:32:13. > :32:16.
:32:16. > :32:23.like a stunt plane. Yes, loop the loop, it can do all of those things.
:32:23. > :32:33.So, if the hobby performs like a stunt plane, what better way to
:32:33. > :32:52.
:32:52. > :32:58.This is amazing! It really is a bird's-eye view. This is phenomenal.
:32:58. > :33:07.Wow! I do feel like a bird. It is incredible to think a hobby can
:33:08. > :33:17.travel at the speed of this plain, around 100 mph. It is so hard
:33:18. > :33:30.
:33:30. > :33:35.against the immense pressure of the I can barely see anything. I don't
:33:35. > :33:45.know how to a hobby can see a dragonfly, and then captured
:33:45. > :33:55.between its legs! I have to say, this is not as scary as I first
:33:55. > :33:55.
:33:56. > :34:05.thought. So far, it has all been plain sailing. The hobby... I think
:34:06. > :34:42.
:34:42. > :34:47.They do that all day! OK, so perhaps my enthusiasm got the
:34:47. > :34:57.better of me on this occasion. I have a new-found respect for the
:34:57. > :35:06.
:35:06. > :35:16.hobby. I can't believe what I have just gone. Honestly! I can't
:35:16. > :35:17.
:35:17. > :35:25.believe I just did that. It was crazy. Hobbies are crazy. I lost my
:35:25. > :35:33.bearings, I was disorientated, I didn't know if I was up or down. I
:35:33. > :35:37.loved it. Brilliant. So good, but do you know what? I think I might
:35:38. > :35:45.leave the high-speed flying and aerial acrobatics to the experts. I
:35:45. > :35:50.don't think I will be taking this up as a hobby!
:35:50. > :35:55.The most terrifying, yet utterly thrilling, experience of my life. I
:35:55. > :36:01.was reliving it for about a week afterwards and I have a new respect
:36:01. > :36:06.for the hobby. You may hear more screaming now because I am joined
:36:06. > :36:12.by the Great Britain rafting team. So you are currently the British
:36:12. > :36:17.junior champions, how does it feel to represent your country? It is
:36:17. > :36:22.brilliant. It is great to train for future events. What have you got
:36:22. > :36:28.coming up? The World Championships in Costa Rica. Are you going to
:36:28. > :36:34.bring home gold? Definitely. long have you been involved?
:36:34. > :36:39.Personally I have been kayaking since I was 10. We have been
:36:39. > :36:42.together for about two years, and we represented Great Britain at the
:36:42. > :36:48.world championships last year. Hopefully we will bring home gold
:36:48. > :36:54.this year. Do you fancy having a novice crew member on board? Jump
:36:55. > :37:01.in. I might slow you down but at least I will be in safe hands. So
:37:01. > :37:09.my feet go in these bits. What do I do? Hold the paddle with this hand,
:37:09. > :37:15.and copy everything I do. unofficial time to get down the
:37:15. > :37:22.course is 93 seconds, do you think we can beat that? I will try not to
:37:22. > :37:32.let you down. This is quite nice actually, it is quite calm. And
:37:32. > :37:39.
:37:39. > :37:44.about, it is getting crazy. Off we go! Lean back over the big drops.
:37:44. > :37:51.They have obviously put me in the front seat because it is the most
:37:51. > :38:01.important position on the boat. Watch and learn, boys. Big strokes,
:38:01. > :38:10.
:38:10. > :38:20.come on. Lean back! Go, power. This is fun. If you get a chance to do
:38:20. > :38:21.
:38:21. > :38:31.this, go. This is cool. What did I say? 13,000 litres of water, I
:38:31. > :38:49.
:38:49. > :38:54.Do we have a time? 75! That is amazing. They broke the record and
:38:54. > :39:00.Naomi didn't slow them down too much. I love the way she is in the
:39:01. > :39:05.front of the boat, giving orders! I should say to you that grafting is
:39:05. > :39:09.a sport anyone can try. You don't have to be particularly fit, there
:39:10. > :39:13.are white water rivers you can go to. If you were watching last
:39:13. > :39:18.series, you will know we came across an enormous amount of crime
:39:18. > :39:26.scenes. There have been heinous murders affected against Tyrone
:39:26. > :39:30.animal powers. It is time for Deadly Scene Investigation. This is
:39:30. > :39:37.a reconstruction. No real animals were harmed in the making of this
:39:37. > :39:43.programme, but let's see what we think has happened here. So we have
:39:43. > :39:51.some feathers first of all. I would say these are probably the remnants
:39:51. > :39:57.of the victim. Look at that. It is incredibly beautiful. We have
:39:57. > :40:04.electric blue aquamarine colours, and orange on the underside as well.
:40:04. > :40:11.It is quite a small wing. What are the audience think? Any ideas?
:40:11. > :40:16.Kingfisher. I have to say, spot-on. We are by the riverside, it is the
:40:16. > :40:23.right size, but what has happened to it? How do we think this animal
:40:23. > :40:29.has ended up as prey? I think maybe a hobby has come to do it? Why do
:40:29. > :40:34.you think that? Probably because they live near the water and they
:40:34. > :40:38.are the right speed. I like the where you are thinking. Hobbies
:40:38. > :40:44.will definitely take swift, swallows, house martins over the
:40:44. > :40:49.surface of the water. I have not heard examples of them taking the
:40:49. > :40:53.kingfisher but I think they probably could. The time of year,
:40:53. > :41:01.most hobbies are migrating back south so they are unlikely to be
:41:01. > :41:07.here. We have another clue. We can see a line of perfect tracks
:41:07. > :41:14.running down here. Has anybody got any ideas what that might be?
:41:14. > :41:18.a cat. It is very good thinking, and there is no doubt a cat could
:41:18. > :41:23.take a kingfisher. They are predators of some of our wonderful
:41:23. > :41:30.native birds, but if you look closely you can see it has five
:41:30. > :41:37.toes and the profile is very different. A cat's shape is very
:41:37. > :41:42.Oval and they have four toes. You can see a claw at the end, and in
:41:42. > :41:51.cats that law would be retracted. I think it is something different.
:41:51. > :41:58.The grey wolf. That is a great idea, I'm not sure we have any in the Lee
:41:59. > :42:03.Valley Whitewater Centre. Shall we find out? One of the CCTV cameras
:42:03. > :42:09.was rolling when this happened. Let's have a look what actually
:42:09. > :42:13.happened. Here is a pair of very happy kingfishers at the Riverside.
:42:13. > :42:19.They are extraordinarily beautiful birds, but territorial disputes
:42:19. > :42:23.between these animals can be ferocious. They need to get out of
:42:23. > :42:31.the water quickly or they become waterlogged and possibly drowned,
:42:31. > :42:38.so maybe that's what happened? Hang on the second. I didn't expect that.
:42:38. > :42:44.Who is the culprit? That is the face of the mink, one of the most
:42:44. > :42:49.ferocious predators found on the riverside. There we go, the mink
:42:49. > :42:55.was the culprit. It has to be said they are animals which are doing an
:42:55. > :42:59.enormous amount of damage in this country. It was an American animal
:42:59. > :43:03.brought here for its For. Some were released deliberately into the wild,
:43:03. > :43:08.some escaped, and they are such ferocious predators they are wiping
:43:09. > :43:15.out things like water voles. But you have to say it was a pretty
:43:15. > :43:19.exciting Deadly Scene Investigation. We have some very special Deadly
:43:19. > :43:24.Scene Investigation activities going on around the country.
:43:24. > :43:29.Someone has committed a wildlife crime, it is down to you to become
:43:29. > :43:36.a detective. To find out where the activities are hopping near you, go
:43:36. > :43:42.to the website, click on DSI. There will be new events going on all the
:43:42. > :43:49.time. We have a whole bunch more invaders over here. Don't look just
:43:49. > :43:55.yet because here is a clue of what our first animal is. These are the
:43:55. > :44:01.hairy legs and furry mittens of the Chinese mitten crab. This animal
:44:01. > :44:07.was introduced in the UK about 75 years ago from Asia. Chinese mitten
:44:07. > :44:13.crabs dig burrows and they make the river banks unstable. The mud falls
:44:13. > :44:21.into the river, and these animals reproduce in enormous numbers.
:44:21. > :44:27.These animals could spell disaster for Britain's rivers. We have
:44:27. > :44:33.actually got a Chinese mitten crab here in this tank. You can see it
:44:33. > :44:38.does have these fabulous furry mittens. You should stay away from
:44:38. > :44:44.the pincers because it can give you quite a pinch. That isn't the
:44:44. > :44:51.reason why this animal is doing so much damage. They burrow into
:44:51. > :44:55.riverbanks and rivers are collapsing. Silting up the rivers.
:44:55. > :45:02.Why is that a problem, the river banks collapsing? The animals can't
:45:02. > :45:06.live where they would normally be? Exactly. The river banks are bound
:45:06. > :45:16.together by roots and all sorts of things that these things will just
:45:16. > :45:18.
:45:18. > :45:25.get rid of. The natural way of This one is from the States, it is
:45:25. > :45:29.a signal crayfish. And it is signalling, leave me alone! Yes,
:45:29. > :45:32.the name comes from the red underside of these clause. It was
:45:32. > :45:37.brought here for food, but people did not think about that they can
:45:37. > :45:41.travel over land, so they climbed out of their food pommes Anna to
:45:41. > :45:46.rivers and other ponds and lakes and they are driving out her own
:45:46. > :45:49.white clawed crayfish. Which is a wonderful animal but it is nothing
:45:49. > :45:55.like as they and Hardy and it is becoming increasingly rare, thanks
:45:55. > :46:00.to these. We have one other alien invader. But this is a reptile and
:46:00. > :46:05.it has its own fabulous shell protection. Have a little look at
:46:05. > :46:09.this. This is how you would normally see terrapins, hauled up
:46:09. > :46:14.out of the water, basking in the sunlight. They look lazy and
:46:14. > :46:24.harmless but once they get into the water, the whole thing changes.
:46:24. > :46:24.
:46:24. > :46:29.This becomes a formidable predator. Beat -- lead in vertebrates, but
:46:29. > :46:36.sometimes even snatched ducklings from the surface. No, leave them
:46:36. > :46:40.alone! That is just gross. These animals live for a long time and
:46:40. > :46:44.there is no predator in this country that has evolved to Kate --
:46:44. > :46:49.to take care of them, so they continue their reign of terror.
:46:49. > :46:55.cannot look! I am still recovering from a rafting experience. And I
:46:55. > :47:01.have got one here as well. It looks pretty harmless and he is an a
:47:01. > :47:06.defensive posture. But these animals live for an awful lot
:47:06. > :47:10.longer than people realise. Someone buys them as a pet. With the
:47:10. > :47:15.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and stop. How long will they live?
:47:15. > :47:19.record for the species is over 70 years. That is a lifetime for us.
:47:19. > :47:23.It is an enormous commitment. People do not think about: they
:47:23. > :47:28.will have to have them for. consider it carefully before you
:47:28. > :47:31.buy one. Absolutely. One of the missions of this programme is to
:47:31. > :47:34.convince you that we have incredible animals out there in the
:47:34. > :47:40.countryside of the UK, you do not need to think about buying exotic
:47:40. > :47:46.animals. While we do, when we have creatures like this in our country?
:47:46. > :47:51.That is a huge fish. This is a pack. I am guessing it is a female,
:47:51. > :48:00.because the males are generally smaller. It is just a stunning
:48:00. > :48:05.predator. What does it feel like? It is kind of glossy, almost slimy.
:48:05. > :48:09.Stay away from the business end the! It has a very bony and
:48:09. > :48:13.flathead, the eyes a position on top of the head, so it can catch
:48:13. > :48:20.fish in the what about potentially, catch birds and things on the
:48:20. > :48:28.surface. The pelvic fins here. Just to hold station, Tiedemann one
:48:28. > :48:34.position. It is all about keeping its ambush position. The stripes
:48:34. > :48:38.here, it kind of matches with light coming down onto the water. And it
:48:38. > :48:44.just hides it, it gives a camouflage. The fines at the back,
:48:44. > :48:48.these are the ones that give it most of its drive, and a torpedo
:48:48. > :48:54.shaped body so they have minimum drag. When this animal wants to
:48:54. > :48:57.motor, it gives a great big whack of its tail and will zoom forward
:48:57. > :49:04.at incredible speed. It will grab hold of anything that comes too
:49:04. > :49:08.close. I would like to see that happening. It would take on quite a
:49:08. > :49:14.few of our alien invaders. It would be the crowd than the crayfish.
:49:14. > :49:18.When they shed their hard, it has come, they are more vulnerable. And
:49:18. > :49:26.the terrapin, when it is actually, the pike would love eating that. We
:49:26. > :49:30.have some footage of some pike, hunting. So, here is a plate in his
:49:30. > :49:35.natural environment. It is such a sinister, menacing fish. Most of
:49:35. > :49:40.the time, they just hang around. But once in a while, that mouth
:49:40. > :49:45.opens and you see those incredible teeth. This one is doing a patrol,
:49:45. > :49:49.but mostly they just hang there. They wait for prey to come nearby.
:49:49. > :49:54.All the fish that swim in this aquatic world are in danger of
:49:54. > :49:58.getting snapped up by the pike. It is always on the lookout, just
:49:58. > :50:04.waiting for a potential meal. When it comes to close, the movement is
:50:04. > :50:08.unbelievably quick. As it strikes, it sucks it in. This thing is like
:50:08. > :50:18.a bear trap and a vacuum cleaner rolled into one, with needle-sharp
:50:18. > :50:19.
:50:19. > :50:23.teeth. That is one mega fish. Every Sunday, we will have at Deadly Day
:50:23. > :50:27.Out, your chance to come along, Beatson deadly animals, me and
:50:27. > :50:31.Steve will be there and you can try out some activities. Before we tell
:50:31. > :50:41.you about how you can get tickets, let me give you a little taster of
:50:41. > :50:42.
:50:42. > :50:48.what you can expect. Deadly Day Out rock. There is plenty to see and do
:50:48. > :50:58.a lot of fantastic activities to get involved in. There is a chance
:50:58. > :50:58.
:50:58. > :51:08.to see some of my animal pals. Following Steve's footsteps and
:51:08. > :51:08.
:51:08. > :51:14.swim with sharks. Or try out claiming, like Naomi did. Not as
:51:14. > :51:19.easy as it looks! Pass, keeps more staff to see and do. If you feel
:51:19. > :51:26.break, you can come face-to-face with some exotic beasties. -- if
:51:26. > :51:30.you feel brave. It is an unforgettable, wondrous weekend.
:51:30. > :51:37.Steve will be doing his deadly roadshow with a whole heap of
:51:37. > :51:42.deadly friends. How cool is that! If there is one thing we can
:51:42. > :51:45.guarantee, it is that everyone will have a deadly time. I can
:51:45. > :51:50.absolutely vouched, it will be one of the best things you have done in
:51:50. > :51:55.ages. But this time, you must have a ticket. Tickets are free but you
:51:55. > :52:01.will be to get a grown-up to get one for you. You can go to our
:52:01. > :52:07.website, bbc.co.uk/cbbc. Come along and see us. Make sure you get a
:52:07. > :52:17.grown-up to do that for you. Or you can always ring our ticket hotline,
:52:17. > :52:17.
