:00:23. > :00:33.I have learned to hate caves more than any other. There is no where
:00:33. > :00:33.
:00:33. > :00:40.you can get so wet, so cold. It can be truly miserable. But for an
:00:40. > :00:50.explorer, it is so exciting. There are hundreds, possibly thousands of
:00:50. > :00:50.
:00:50. > :00:56.miles of cave passage that have simply never been explored. You're
:00:56. > :01:06.light from your home at is the fastest ever penetrated into the
:01:06. > :01:16.
:01:16. > :01:26.darkness. Into one of the most T? Is there some for me? Surrey.
:01:26. > :01:29.
:01:29. > :01:34.Never mind! She is all a dry! This is live and deadly. Our convoy is
:01:34. > :01:44.struggling UK in search of all things live. You're coming with us
:01:44. > :02:01.
:02:01. > :02:08.every step of the way. Start on a Good morning everybody! Welcome!
:02:08. > :02:14.This is the show that aims to get you outdoors, get you into nature.
:02:14. > :02:22.Where are we today? This strange building is the Belfast Activity
:02:22. > :02:31.Centre in Northern Ireland. I have decided to dredge the bowels of the
:02:31. > :02:41.Earth this week. Showing off their skills, please give it up for the
:02:41. > :02:42.
:02:42. > :02:52.audience! Plus, we're joined by world trial bike champion Joe
:02:52. > :02:53.
:02:53. > :03:01.Oakley. The bit I am least looking forward to it today, is the scary
:03:01. > :03:09.underwater cave dive. You get wet, cold and miserable. He has what is
:03:09. > :03:15.coming up. Steve SATs at deadly mission to go
:03:15. > :03:25.in search of red kites. And Naomi goes in search of a brilliant
:03:25. > :03:26.
:03:27. > :03:35.bouncing bird. We check out the stinky skunk. In keeping with the
:03:35. > :03:41.subterranean theme, some truly grim Cave critters. Cockroaches, scary
:03:41. > :03:50.underwater cave divers... This is payback for all of the challenges I
:03:50. > :03:56.have said Steve over the years. It is time for a big adventure. Come
:03:56. > :04:02.in with me, everybody. If you're watching last week, you would have
:04:02. > :04:09.seen a venture into a real cave. -- you would have seen me. This is
:04:09. > :04:14.somewhat of a luxury. Check out this chamber. This is obviously
:04:14. > :04:18.man-made. It is pretty realistic. Caves around the world and it could
:04:19. > :04:28.be carved out by the effects of rainwater. The results are pretty
:04:29. > :04:29.
:04:29. > :04:36.spectacular. Caves at the final frontier on Planet Earth. They can
:04:36. > :04:46.be incredibly beautiful. Some were deep enough to engulf the Empire
:04:46. > :04:49.
:04:49. > :04:53.State Building. Some are formed by the action of sulphuric acid. Who
:04:53. > :04:57.knows what amazing caves will be discovered next?
:04:57. > :05:05.Quite often the most exciting part of that Kate expedition is getting
:05:05. > :05:15.in. It involves ropes like this. It is wet and horrible! That is really
:05:15. > :05:17.
:05:17. > :05:22.impressive. It is all soggy! The good thing about the man-made caves
:05:22. > :05:27.is you can just switch the water off. Can we turn it off, please? I
:05:27. > :05:31.wish you could do that in a real cave! This opening section of the
:05:31. > :05:36.cave system is really important for naturalists. This is where you were
:05:36. > :05:46.most likely to find life. The things that live in caves can be
:05:46. > :05:48.
:05:48. > :05:53.Cave systems provide a home for different species. The backs that
:05:53. > :06:00.live there create enormous piles of who. Loads of other invertebrate
:06:00. > :06:04.feed off it. Some caves have weirder animals, like these
:06:04. > :06:10.salamanders. They have no functioning eyes. They do not need
:06:10. > :06:18.to. They will never see light. They are fully functioning predators
:06:18. > :06:25.scatters in for whatever food they can find. -- scavengers. Things
:06:25. > :06:29.like that and birds made roosting caves. They are not true cave
:06:30. > :06:38.dwellers. Animals that spend their lives in caves have to be specially
:06:38. > :06:46.adapted. Animals like this. This is a classic Cave critter. They are
:06:46. > :06:51.not true spider's. This is a whip spider. They have poor eyesight.
:06:51. > :06:58.They have extraordinary front legs. They tap around in the darkness.
:06:58. > :07:06.They will sense potential prey in the dark. They get snapped --
:07:06. > :07:14.snapped opera. It is coming on to your hand now. I do not like
:07:14. > :07:21.spiders. This is sensing its prey. It is almost like an insect's
:07:21. > :07:28.antennae. Those bits are used to catch the prey. It is a bit of its
:07:28. > :07:38.mouth. It will feed prey back towards the mouth parts. Toasty --
:07:38. > :07:38.
:07:38. > :07:43.they are remarkably strong animals. How about you hang on to that? No!
:07:43. > :07:48.This when you have no reason to be worried about. They are not
:07:48. > :07:52.venomous. That is not true of our next Craig -- cave critter.
:07:53. > :07:59.In a cave system in Venezuela lives one of the most remarkable
:07:59. > :08:03.invertebrates on the earth. It is moving over the floor of the cave,
:08:03. > :08:09.over the cockroaches it may normally feed on, and heading to
:08:09. > :08:14.the ceiling. This will be the perfect vantage point macro for
:08:15. > :08:20.catching a truly remarkable prey. This centipede is catching bats on
:08:20. > :08:27.the wane. It hangs down, waits for the bats, pounds it full of venom,
:08:27. > :08:33.and that bat is a goner. That is incredible. An invertebrate
:08:33. > :08:43.that munchers bat. Of all the animals on the show, this could
:08:43. > :08:45.
:08:45. > :08:53.cause me the most harm. He is very cool. He has his collars on. This
:08:53. > :09:03.is a scolopendra. It has got tiger stripes. This could do some damage.
:09:03. > :09:05.
:09:05. > :09:14.It has quite a serious neurotoxin. This is the head end. It has got a
:09:14. > :09:23.modified pair of legs. Sharp points. They are joined to a venom gland.
:09:23. > :09:28.Mostly they feed on cockroaches and cricket. He moves a really fast.
:09:28. > :09:32.This is nothing. These animals travel at a tremendous speed,
:09:32. > :09:39.particularly in the darkness. They will move at incredible speed. They
:09:39. > :09:44.do not need to be able to see in order to hunt. We have one more
:09:44. > :09:49.critter to introduce you to! I would love to hang about, but
:09:49. > :09:55.things to do! Scolopendra going back into the box. I have to
:09:55. > :10:01.introduce you to this fabulous snake. Look at this. This is a
:10:02. > :10:08.Taiwanese beauty. They are a kind of rat snake. They are specialist
:10:08. > :10:12.at hanging out in caves and catching animals that live there.
:10:12. > :10:17.They are not the only Kate snake that have learned to do this.
:10:17. > :10:27.Many different species of us makes have learned to make the most of
:10:27. > :10:29.
:10:29. > :10:36.the potential bounty of this lot, bats. They can snatch out at a bat.
:10:36. > :10:42.They have Super sensors which enable them to CVs animals. It is a
:10:42. > :10:47.perfect way of making the most of a constant conveyor belt of food.
:10:47. > :10:54.Unfortunately, he has got caught around my cables. I would have to
:10:54. > :11:00.pass back to you. I am offering you not just one, but three Cave
:11:00. > :11:04.specialists for the leaderboard. I hope he can untangle himself.
:11:04. > :11:10.They are definitely going up on the left-hand side of the board, all
:11:10. > :11:20.vying for that number seven spot. We will come back later to find out
:11:20. > :11:24.
:11:24. > :11:31.which one is the winner. Have you got a favoured out of these three?
:11:32. > :11:41.The whip spider. The whip spider. The whip spider. Have you been
:11:42. > :11:44.
:11:44. > :11:54.caving here before? Yes. It is great. It is definitely a once-in-
:11:54. > :11:57.a-lifetime opportunity. You do not get scared? No. The next deadly
:11:58. > :12:02.animal I am going to introduce you to is about to knock all of those
:12:02. > :12:10.once clean out of the competition. This is one of the UK's busiest and
:12:10. > :12:15.fluffiest capers, the mole. -- cavers. The mole is a strange beast.
:12:15. > :12:24.It is like a little velvet beanbag with its short powerful limbs and
:12:24. > :12:30.huge Paws. And it is the manic Miner or of the natural world. It
:12:30. > :12:36.lives a strange light in the dark. Enjoying its underground resistance,
:12:36. > :12:45.it can create a network of tunnels up to 200 metres long, twice the
:12:45. > :12:53.length of a football pitch. At many tunnels need constant maintenance.
:12:53. > :12:57.It is a life of endless toil for the mole. Their favourite food is
:12:57. > :13:03.earthworm. They are pretty much blind. To catch them, it uses its
:13:03. > :13:06.remarkable nose. By detecting minute vibrations, he mole can
:13:06. > :13:16.sense a wriggling Warham as it wriggles through the subterranean
:13:16. > :13:17.
:13:17. > :13:23.space. -- worm. But they do not eat them all at once. They store a few
:13:24. > :13:32.for a rainy day. Or perhaps for when the mole is worn-out and once
:13:32. > :13:38.a day off from all that digging. -- once a day off. I am really sorry.
:13:38. > :13:43.We begin the show with a little bad news. Due to the extreme weather
:13:43. > :13:48.forecast this weekend, our deadly weekend day it has had to be
:13:48. > :13:52.cancelled. We're so sorry. We wish there was something we could do. If
:13:53. > :13:57.you have a ticket, you should have received an e-mail. You will
:13:57. > :14:06.receive a little something in the post by way of course saying sorry.
:14:06. > :14:16.Last week we were at the zoo. You sense some pictures in. This from
:14:16. > :14:21.Helen Nall and George. This is then whip and a run at -- an orang-utan.
:14:21. > :14:26.Then came face to face with a snow leopard. This week in my never-
:14:26. > :14:31.ending mission to find the Cubist animals, we are after pictures of
:14:31. > :14:41.your pet. If you have got a photograph, attach it to an e-mail
:14:41. > :14:41.
:14:41. > :14:47.If you have a question for Beat Backshall do you think you can out
:14:47. > :14:53.wit Steve? If you do, you need to head to our website at
:14:53. > :14:57.livendeadly@bbc.co.uk. Click on Live 'n' Deadly and click on "have
:14:57. > :15:01.your say". Have we something seriously cool to show you now
:15:01. > :15:07.though. You will be gasping and biting your knuckles by the end of.
:15:07. > :15:17.This when our next guest, Joe Oakley, asked if he could demo his
:15:17. > :15:44.
:15:44. > :15:51.bike skills, person in the hole, he No! That was extraordinary! Wow!
:15:51. > :15:56.one last move. Oh, Joe. Give it up for, Joe. Spectacular. Welcome to
:15:56. > :15:59.Live 'n' Deadly. Unbelievable. Where was the saddle on your bike?
:15:59. > :16:04.You don't need when when you are doing this kind of thing. Anything
:16:04. > :16:12.else you want to tell us about your bike. Only one gear. Never need to
:16:12. > :16:17.change gear. It needs to be as easy as possible. Sharp brakes, you need
:16:17. > :16:22.to stop quick and as light as you can make it. Our audience will have
:16:22. > :16:29.seen you on Britain's Got Talent. You were awesome. Tell us about it?
:16:29. > :16:34.I saw a guy in America as's Got Talent doing a similar thing. I
:16:35. > :16:40.gave it a go and made it to the semi-final. It looks like it could
:16:40. > :16:47.be dangerous. It can be. I bet you have injured your self-? I broke
:16:47. > :16:52.both my wrists. What is the best way to get into it, how did you
:16:52. > :17:02.start? I used to ride on my street. You can ride anywhere. Always wear
:17:02. > :17:08.a helmet you are guaranteed it it to fall. You have moved up to
:17:08. > :17:13.bigger drop-offs. You have gone down the side of a waterfall.
:17:13. > :17:18.Fantastic. Look at these photos. This is called mountain bike trials
:17:18. > :17:21.riding. Tell us how it works? organisers of the competition will
:17:21. > :17:25.make a route and all the competitors have to get through the
:17:25. > :17:32.course without putting their feet down. The person who puts their
:17:32. > :17:36.feet down the least during the day is declared the winner. This has
:17:36. > :17:40.taken you all over the world Canada, New Zealand and all throughout
:17:40. > :17:44.Europe. Great to be to ride in exotic locations and to be taking
:17:44. > :17:49.something that you absolutely love around the world. Fantastic. Do you
:17:49. > :17:53.know what, I have a challenge for you two. There's a surprise. Follow
:17:53. > :17:59.me. Princess likes to get on his bike sometimes. Don't call me
:17:59. > :18:05.Princess. What I thought I would give you today is a challenge on a
:18:05. > :18:09.bike that doesn't work in, how shall I put it, the, "tradishal"
:18:09. > :18:13.way. We have Live 'n' Deadly bikes which are called, "swing bikes".
:18:14. > :18:18.You will find out why in a minute. Your mission, in this task, to get
:18:18. > :18:25.on a bike and cycle around our obstacle course. You have to go
:18:25. > :18:31.through the blocks, down and back again. The one back to these posts
:18:31. > :18:41.will be declared the winner. Are you up for it? I think so. If I can
:18:41. > :18:50.get my bike to work. Well done, give it a kick. Are you ready?
:18:50. > :19:00.3-2-1, GO! And off they go. Out of control already. The bikes have a
:19:00. > :19:00.
:19:00. > :19:05.mind of their own. I'd love to give them technical advice but it's more
:19:05. > :19:14.funny without. Let them figure it out. Look at the concentration on
:19:14. > :19:21.their faces. I wonder if Joe can do a stunt on this bike?! You are
:19:21. > :19:27.going in the wrong direction. Joe is in the lead. Steve has won three
:19:27. > :19:33.three challenges. He is determined to win it back. It doesn't look he
:19:33. > :19:41.is going to do it today. Joe is our champion. Oh, Steve, did you enjoy
:19:41. > :19:47.yourself? I was taking the scenic route. You don't have to be a world
:19:47. > :19:52.champion mountain biker to explore. Our next punch of explorers soon
:19:52. > :19:57.discovered when they were set their Deadly mission. This course is a
:19:57. > :20:01.Mecca for mountain bikers. I have choosen it not just because of it
:20:01. > :20:07.tough terrain because the skies above are home to awesome birpdz of
:20:07. > :20:11.prey, the red kite. The birds are true masters of the air, capable of
:20:11. > :20:14.snatching food from the ground, Wyles still on the wing. The team
:20:14. > :20:20.this week are going to have to and- a-half date this demanding course.
:20:20. > :20:24.That's not all. I also want them to keep one eye on the sky and spot
:20:24. > :20:31.some of the resident red kites. This hand-pick team love mountain
:20:31. > :20:41.biking. Are they up to the challenge? I'm ten years old.
:20:41. > :20:42.
:20:42. > :20:52.name is Daniel, I'm 12 years old. My name is Steph and I'm 11 years
:20:52. > :20:56.
:20:56. > :21:00.old. We love mountain biking! to meet up with, Bob, their
:21:00. > :21:05.mountain bike instructor for the day. How are you doing? Do you want
:21:05. > :21:12.to see what Steve's challenge is? Yes. You think you can ride. How
:21:12. > :21:16.about taking on a wilder track? Your challenge is to navigate the
:21:16. > :21:22.twists and turns while keeping an eye on the skies above. I'm hoping
:21:22. > :21:27.you will get a look at another rider with a wing span of two
:21:27. > :21:35.metres and a sharp beak used at tearing at meat. We are talking
:21:35. > :21:38.about the red kite. Are you up for that? YEAH! What we will do, before
:21:38. > :21:45.we head out on the trails, check the bike and make sure everything
:21:45. > :21:52.is all right. Check the front wheel first. Have a look at both sides of
:21:52. > :22:02.tyre and make sure there is no holes. Hold of your handle bars,
:22:02. > :22:05.squeeze your front brake. Roll your bike backwards. We will learn some
:22:05. > :22:15.skills before we tackle the terrain. We will look at riding positions
:22:15. > :22:21.how to brake and go around corners and react to things on the trail.
:22:21. > :22:26.Steve's challenge is quite hard. could be hard cycling and looking
:22:26. > :22:34.in the air at the same time. I hope I learn more tricks by the end of
:22:34. > :22:41.the day. Where do you want to get your weight going down hill? Back.
:22:41. > :22:46.Over the back of the bike. As soon as I drop my meal heel my weight
:22:46. > :22:55.will come over the back, if we are riding down hill that is a safe
:22:55. > :23:05.position. Brilliant, really good. We will get out on the trail s now
:23:05. > :23:10.
:23:10. > :23:18.We will find out what happens later on in the show. Now, when Steve was
:23:18. > :23:24.in here earlier he introduced us to a world of deadly cave inhabitants.
:23:24. > :23:29.This is Larry. He is here with Donna. Tell me the story about
:23:29. > :23:34.Larry. Larry is the largest bat in Northern Ireland. How has he come
:23:34. > :23:40.to be in your company? I'm looking after him because he was brought to
:23:40. > :23:44.us as an injured bat. He was a cat injury. He has been getting fed so
:23:44. > :23:51.he can put on weight and had antibiotics and he will be released
:23:51. > :23:56.into the wild. He is so sweet. cute. We have food here to give him,
:23:56. > :24:02.meal worms. Shall I give him one of these. Oh, yes. It's wiggling. What
:24:02. > :24:07.do you think of that? Straight in there. Hungry boy. Is this what
:24:07. > :24:12.they would eat in the wild? No. He would eat 3,000 flying insects. I
:24:12. > :24:21.couldn't catch those. Those are high in protein they are a good
:24:21. > :24:27.supplement. D they eat that much all year round? They will hibernate
:24:27. > :24:33.during the winter. We want to get him fit enough. What is the plan?
:24:33. > :24:38.The first dry night he will go back into the wild with his friends.
:24:38. > :24:43.Spinning fingers crossed fr a dry night soon. He is so cute! You know
:24:43. > :24:48.this programme better than that. As if I will let you get awhich with
:24:48. > :24:56.that. Don't you come through the door like a normal person? No. My
:24:56. > :25:05.house doesn't have a door I come down the chimney. Bats are mighty
:25:05. > :25:12.moth munching masters. Bats are the only true truly flying mammals.
:25:12. > :25:17.They have censory mechanisms. They hunt over water using echo location
:25:17. > :25:26.to find their flying prey. They pounce clicks off the world around
:25:26. > :25:31.them. This one used that to zero in on this moth. It swings the feet
:25:31. > :25:36.forward and snatches the moth off the wing. It take it is back to a
:25:36. > :25:40.perch to munch down on the moth's head. They need to feed almost
:25:40. > :25:46.constantly. They will take the unusual step of sweeping down to
:25:46. > :25:52.the water to snatch a dying moth off the surface. I mean, apart from
:25:52. > :25:57.the fruit bats, there is no doubting that bats are absolutely
:25:57. > :26:01.supreme hunters. Fair enough. munch 3,000 to 3,500 insects in a
:26:01. > :26:07.single night. A lot. Taking all those insects in one end, they have
:26:07. > :26:12.to come out somewhere. They come out the back end. Oh! Sorry if you
:26:12. > :26:18.are eating your breakfast. imagine several million of bats
:26:18. > :26:23.living in a cave for a couple of hundred of years what they have
:26:23. > :26:28.been dropping creates mountains of what is known as guano. It looks
:26:28. > :26:32.like road or tarmac. It it's not. This is solid poo. I have been in
:26:32. > :26:37.this particular cave this was filmed in. It's horrific.
:26:38. > :26:47.Everything that drops down from the top is a feast for a whole host of
:26:47. > :26:56.invertebrates. The bats that die will get consumed by koch coaches
:26:56. > :27:05.and crickets. It's being recycles. Guano is one of the finest
:27:05. > :27:13.fertilisers known for man. What are here Critters who love poo. These
:27:13. > :27:18.are cockroaches. Get stuck in here. Get your hands full. These are
:27:18. > :27:28.hising koch coaches they will squeeze their bodies and get ier

:27:37. > :27:42.there is a lot of waste about. Don't worry, you don't need to
:27:43. > :27:48.clean it up. There is a whole army of critters working hard on your
:27:48. > :27:53.behalf in your back garden as I discovered when I met Scot from
:27:53. > :27:57.Buglife at a Deadly Day Out. We have rotting leaves. Masses of
:27:57. > :28:02.things in here. This guy is one of the coolest bugs you will get in
:28:02. > :28:07.the garden. He is called the devil's coach horse. We get phone
:28:07. > :28:12.calls saying, "I have a scorpion in my garden". It's this guy here. One
:28:12. > :28:18.of the defence things he does, he curves his tail up above his head.
:28:18. > :28:23.When he is threatened. He tells everybody to back off and leave him
:28:23. > :28:29.alone. Totally. What we found today was this female wolf spider. If you
:28:29. > :28:33.look on her back, can you see fuzzy things on her back? Yes. She is
:28:33. > :28:39.carrying her babies. They have climbed on to her back. She is
:28:39. > :28:44.protecting them and keeping them safe. That is wicked! What are
:28:44. > :28:49.those bits at the front? The cool thing about those are, you can tell
:28:49. > :28:55.the difference between a male and female spider by those. Females
:28:55. > :29:01.have almost like little extra legs, but males have got little boxing
:29:01. > :29:05.gloves, which is pretty cool. Bocking gloves it's a boy. Little
:29:05. > :29:10.fingers, it's a girl. I will look out for thark are you? It's well
:29:10. > :29:16.worth leaving a section of your garden to go rotten and messy like
:29:16. > :29:22.this. You have look around and see what you can find inside. You will
:29:22. > :29:26.find some brilliant bugs guaranteed. So, particularly this time of year
:29:26. > :29:32.as bugs repitiles and mammals are needing places to spend the winter
:29:32. > :29:38.be careful about what you do with your garden the winter leaves could
:29:38. > :29:48.be someone's home or somewhere they want to hibernate. If you want more
:29:48. > :29:48.
:29:48. > :29:53.information we have loads on the We have had a comment from Lydia.
:29:53. > :30:01.She is scared of spiders. But she held one in her hand. That is
:30:01. > :30:10.brilliant. We are very proud of you. I have got a wonderful predatory
:30:10. > :30:16.cave critter here. This is a Chinese gecko. They specialise at
:30:16. > :30:20.hunting inside caves. I can see almost straight through his head,
:30:21. > :30:30.looking through the years. It is bizarre. His Taylor looks a bit
:30:31. > :30:35.
:30:35. > :30:39.like that turn up. -- his tail. Now, back to our a deadly mission. We
:30:39. > :30:45.left it with the adventurous having done their training. Now it is time
:30:46. > :30:51.for them to wander in the woods. So far the challenge is going well.
:30:51. > :31:01.For the second part of the nation, time to find those red kites. -- of
:31:01. > :31:13.
:31:13. > :31:23.the mission. Come on, keep up! is the best challenge ever, Steve!
:31:23. > :31:24.
:31:24. > :31:28.Have you seen any kites yet? Their year go. -- there you go. You could
:31:28. > :31:38.say that his mission accomplished. I know for this team, that will not
:31:38. > :31:45.
:31:45. > :31:50.be good enough. I reckon we could Bob is taking them to meet Sarah,
:31:50. > :31:57.who works for the Forestry Commission. They have been working
:31:57. > :32:07.hard to save these beautiful birds from extinction. How many are here?
:32:07. > :32:09.
:32:09. > :32:15.A on a good day, 150. 150! When they are hungry, they will come
:32:15. > :32:22.into feet. They said up and red kite restaurant. We feed them
:32:22. > :32:27.butcher's of cuts. At one point Kuyt numbers were really very low.
:32:27. > :32:32.It was thought it was down to one breeding pair in mid-Wales.
:32:32. > :32:38.Something needed to be done. They had been extinct from England and
:32:38. > :32:43.Scotland and Ireland. The last remaining kites were here in Wales.
:32:43. > :32:53.Lot of feeding stations said up so we could give the kites an extra
:32:53. > :32:54.
:32:54. > :33:01.hand. We make sure they are OK and keep track of them. They can feed.
:33:01. > :33:08.When you are feeding them, it is quite amazing really. 150 coming in
:33:08. > :33:16.for some neat and you're in the middle of it... They are quite big
:33:16. > :33:25.birds. If you put one on its side, they would be taller than me.
:33:25. > :33:30.old are the oldest kite? They generally live for about 25 years.
:33:30. > :33:40.This is really amazing. To think not long ago there were hardly
:33:40. > :33:41.
:33:41. > :33:51.Annie and there are so many now. is incredible. It has been a day of
:33:51. > :33:53.
:33:53. > :33:58.a lifetime. Mission accomplished! Admission was so brilliant. -- that
:33:58. > :34:07.mission. We appreciate you cannot get out with the dark nights coming
:34:07. > :34:17.in. You may like to go on the Web site and play some games. Like
:34:17. > :34:25.
:34:25. > :34:30.If you like that, you may like deadly planet, our other again. You
:34:30. > :34:38.have to navigate steep around some wonderful environment. You have to
:34:38. > :34:43.take some great photographs. The secret code we are giving you today.
:34:43. > :34:53.It is called a him Olga -- aim of chameleon. I continually make out
:34:53. > :35:17.
:35:17. > :35:25.the cold. The cameraman can zoom in and focus... Well done. What is bad
:35:25. > :35:35.smell? Steve! What are you talking about? Was that you, Pat? I bet it
:35:35. > :35:35.
:35:35. > :35:41.was! It was the power more of pong, the stallion of stench, the skunk!
:35:41. > :35:46.Isn't he delightful? Look at that. He has got the most delightful
:35:46. > :35:50.gorges friendly little face. He looks like he wants a cuddle. When
:35:50. > :35:56.you think about skunks, you think about their ability to create the
:35:56. > :36:00.most noxious substance on earth. It is truly extraordinary. Their smell
:36:00. > :36:09.is no laughing matter. In the various environments around the
:36:09. > :36:15.world worse go sour friend, other animals stay well away. It is the
:36:15. > :36:19.stickiest substance on earth. This young Lyon is about to learn the
:36:19. > :36:27.value of them less and. It seems like an interesting toy. No, it is
:36:27. > :36:35.not! Runaway! You're about to get squirted! It is absolutely awful.
:36:35. > :36:43.It is a smell that makes you want to puke. Yes, have been in a dog
:36:43. > :36:47.that has been sprayed by skunk. The smell was so overpowering,
:36:47. > :36:53.everything the dog touched had to be thrown away and the dog had to
:36:53. > :37:03.be shaved. Extraordinary. This one is friendly. Let's put him down and
:37:03. > :37:10.see him at work. Come on, little fellow. In these leaves, there are
:37:10. > :37:16.some little meal worms he can snuffle. Have you found something?
:37:17. > :37:25.No. He is wonderful. He is laying down reserves for his period of
:37:25. > :37:32.winter hibernation. He is off! He is wonderful. You cannot go that
:37:32. > :37:37.way! He is so delightful. In the wild, they tend to be active around
:37:37. > :37:43.about dusk. If there is a possibility of food, he will keep
:37:43. > :37:49.on trucking. He is fantastic. I promise you will not swear at you.
:37:49. > :37:56.He has got a delightful character. Hyperactive. And an explosive
:37:56. > :38:01.bottom. Does he remind you of anyone, Naomi! What are you
:38:01. > :38:05.implying? Definitely going on the board. We will find out the win or
:38:05. > :38:13.later. Tens of thousands of you have been getting it to the spirit
:38:13. > :38:23.of enjoying your very own deadly day out. This week we are at
:38:23. > :38:37.
:38:37. > :38:45.This odd looking animal is a toad. It lives in a dark waters around
:38:45. > :38:55.the Amazon basin. How does it find and cats its food? Has it got along
:38:55. > :38:59.Tonge? Most frogs do. This one has no Tonge at all. It is very unusual.
:38:59. > :39:07.Does it sends vibrations? That is about as perfect a description as
:39:08. > :39:11.you can have. The back feet hour would. The front feet have tiny
:39:12. > :39:21.stars like structures and it taps around in the darkness using those
:39:21. > :39:26.until it finds its food. Spot on. Well done. Generally speaking, they
:39:26. > :39:36.are quite lazy animals. The males and females get energised when they
:39:36. > :39:38.
:39:38. > :39:43.come together. How do they impress each other? James Connor. Jump.
:39:43. > :39:47.Jump on the back leg. The males will stand up behind the females,
:39:47. > :39:51.grab their back legs and they do somersaults together in the water.
:39:51. > :39:58.It may seem hard to believe, but Surinam tolls are extraordinary
:39:58. > :40:05.mothers. How do the look after their young? Does it keep them in
:40:05. > :40:15.its mouth? There are frogs that do that. They are called gastric
:40:15. > :40:19.brooding frogs. This is not one of them. She does not just carry them
:40:19. > :40:23.around on her back. This sink into their skin. The eggs will get
:40:23. > :40:27.beneath the surface of the skin and they will grow and emerge out of
:40:27. > :40:32.her back. It is one of the most incredible thing she will ever seen
:40:32. > :40:39.from one of the weirdest looking animals. I know it looks kind of
:40:39. > :40:49.like it has been run over, but it is actually at toe-tapping
:40:49. > :40:50.
:40:50. > :40:55.amphibian and mother keeps her As Naomi said earlier, we are
:40:55. > :40:59.really sorry. I know everybody is disappointed. But the day out at
:40:59. > :41:05.Castlewellan has had to be cancelled. There are high winds
:41:06. > :41:11.projected. We cannot guarantee a good day out for everybody. It past
:41:11. > :41:16.have to be cancelled. The tour goes on. Look at the website and see if
:41:16. > :41:20.you could find a date close to you. You have to get an adult to apply
:41:20. > :41:29.for a ticket. They are completely free. We will contact you if you
:41:29. > :41:39.have got a ticket. Or you can call the ticket hotline. The people in
:41:39. > :41:50.
:41:50. > :41:54.It is best if we just shut the door! Coles cost no more than the
:41:54. > :42:00.local rate, even from the mobile. We have to decide who will win
:42:00. > :42:06.today's ultimate Top Ten deadliest. Is it me choice back at a getting
:42:06. > :42:10.worse? I think they are getting worse! We have five contenders here.
:42:10. > :42:17.The mole, incredibly cute and cuddly. Definitely not going on
:42:17. > :42:23.there. The snake, I think we will get rid of that. We have three main
:42:23. > :42:33.contenders. Scolopendra, whip spider and skunk. Should it be the
:42:33. > :42:39.
:42:39. > :42:46.skunk? How about the whip spider? Yes! And the scolopendra? No that
:42:46. > :42:52.has got to be, surely? I would have thought so. I am going to cut for
:42:52. > :42:58.the -- cut to the chase and go to the scolopendra! With your help we
:42:58. > :43:05.will decide who gets the prize, a number one deadliest. Steve has
:43:05. > :43:10.taken himself over there because he knows what is coming next. It is
:43:10. > :43:17.time for beat back show. Steve is going to make -- make his way up
:43:17. > :43:22.this wobbly poll. Thank you if you have sent in some questions. We do
:43:22. > :43:32.not have time to ask all of them. You have sent in some good ones.
:43:32. > :43:42.am at the top. We are going to ask you to do a handstand. I do not
:43:42. > :43:43.
:43:43. > :43:49.know how he is going to do it. How long is a gannet's wingspan? It is
:43:49. > :43:55.the largest wingspan of a any seabird in the UK, getting on for
:43:55. > :44:05.two metres. Adams says, of which big cat cannot retract its claws?
:44:05. > :44:06.
:44:06. > :44:13.The cheetah. How big do crocodiles Croke? The biggest debate was found
:44:13. > :44:18.in India and it is said to be 6.4 metres. There are reports of
:44:18. > :44:28.crocodiles reaching as much as nine. Personally I think sex is about
:44:28. > :44:28.
:44:29. > :44:35.right. Georgia says, why do camels have Homs? Fat reserves. You can
:44:35. > :44:39.metabolise fat to create Water, which they used in the desert.
:44:39. > :44:44.Apparently if they're hungry, a hump goes Fluffy. What is the
:44:45. > :44:54.slowest bird in the world? Hummingbirds actually stayed where
:44:55. > :45:00.
:45:00. > :45:08.Sorry. Give me a second. What would it be? It would be. Things like
:45:08. > :45:18.chickens. You are balancing on some of it. Wood... What? We've run out
:45:18. > :45:18.
:45:18. > :45:26.of time. Well done, Steve, down you come. OK. Wow, didn't he do well!
:45:26. > :45:32.Bright purple. That is just my face. How do you do it, amazing. I while
:45:32. > :45:37.I get ready for the under water cave dive I will introduce you to a
:45:37. > :45:40.UK bird. It uses the water like a bit of a dance floor.
:45:40. > :45:44.# Just dance # Going to be OK
:45:44. > :45:50.# Just dance... # Do you know what, us humans think
:45:50. > :46:00.we have this musical thing sort the. We think we have the best rhythms,
:46:00. > :46:05.
:46:05. > :46:09.best beats and there are animals who could give us a run for our
:46:09. > :46:14.money. # Look at her go on the dance floor
:46:14. > :46:17.# She's amazing on the dance floor # When she moves
:46:17. > :46:24.# Girl, I want more # Keeping it going girl
:46:24. > :46:33.# Like I got to know # You got me saying
:46:33. > :46:37.# Go little bad girl # Go little bad girl... #
:46:37. > :46:43.Most of these animals are from locations arnt around the globe.
:46:43. > :46:53.Even we have our own little movers right here in the UK. Make way for
:46:53. > :46:58.
:46:58. > :47:03.the dipper. Now, that is one funky little bird. I come to south Wales
:47:03. > :47:10.to try to track one down. Me and the Dipper are going to get along
:47:10. > :47:14.famously. I'm meeting up with James Byrne from the RSPB, an all round
:47:14. > :47:19.bird expert. I'm hoping we might catch sight of a dipper or two
:47:19. > :47:24.today. They are groovy little birds. They are. This is fast flowing
:47:24. > :47:28.water. We have a tiny little song bird hanging out next to it, which
:47:28. > :47:31.is unusual? Yes. Dippers love this environment, fast flowing water.
:47:31. > :47:37.They are designed to hunt in these conditions, while not many other
:47:37. > :47:44.birds are. They have the whole place to themselves. What do they
:47:44. > :47:48.sneet They love fish. If there is food here they will be here. This
:47:48. > :47:52.water looks powerful compared to the size of him. Yep. It's a
:47:52. > :47:58.stirredy little bird. They can go in faster water than this. I have
:47:58. > :48:05.seen them around waterfalls, fast flowing white water. Seriously?
:48:05. > :48:11.They have strong toes and cling to the rocks. If they are here in a
:48:11. > :48:16.shallow area they will dip their head under the water, but if it is
:48:16. > :48:21.deeper they can swim around under the water.. How do they stop it
:48:21. > :48:25.going up their nostrils? They have special nasal flaps. They close
:48:25. > :48:30.when they are going under water. No water can get up there. On their
:48:30. > :48:34.eyes as well, they have a special membrane that comes over. They can
:48:34. > :48:39.adapt to the under water conditions, but not get water in their eyes.
:48:39. > :48:44.They are quipped with clever tools to help them thrive in this
:48:44. > :48:50.environment. They all the kit.they are the James Bond of the bird
:48:50. > :48:55.world. They really are! To prove what a perfect spot this is for a
:48:55. > :49:02.dipper, it wasn't long before one made an appearance. Through the
:49:02. > :49:10.trees. Yes, there it is. YES! Big, round bird. There he is behind the
:49:10. > :49:19.rock. Can you see him, he's dipping. Look at him against that water.
:49:19. > :49:24.It's clinging on with those strong toes. Not getting moved at all.
:49:24. > :49:30.He's preening himself. They have a large preen gland which they use to
:49:30. > :49:36.oil their feathers. That oil makes their feathers waterproof. Pretty
:49:36. > :49:43.important for the dipper. He's dancing. I knew I was going to like
:49:43. > :49:51.him. Yeah. Very beautiful bird. They love to dance. A bit like your
:49:51. > :49:55.dad dances though! Now I've seen the dipper in action, I want to
:49:55. > :49:59.learn more about how well prepared they are to survive in their world.
:49:59. > :50:03.The crew have handed me this and told me my mission is on its way to
:50:03. > :50:10.me, down the River as we speak. I have no idea what they have in
:50:10. > :50:16.stone for this one. Here it comes. I'm hoping it will be a dancing one.
:50:16. > :50:21.Fingers crossed. Probably, unlikely. Right. Scary bit. You have seen the
:50:21. > :50:24.UK's toughest song bird in action, swimming against the fast flowing
:50:25. > :50:30.water and overcoming the current to pick out their prize. It's your
:50:30. > :50:39.turn to be as streamed lined, and successful against the current like
:50:39. > :50:44.the dipper. A white water rafting course will prove your skills with
:50:44. > :50:54.the crew in charge of the water. You guys can change the flow of
:50:54. > :50:57.
:50:57. > :51:03.water whenever you want. CAMERA NODS I'm going to get soaked. It's
:51:03. > :51:08.not a fair test, I don't think I should do this challenge. A
:51:08. > :51:13.wetsuit... Yep. I still can't do this. The dipper's have that nasal
:51:13. > :51:20.flap that stops the water going up their nose. Yeah, of course. You
:51:20. > :51:24.thought of that. What about the eye membrane, built in goggles, I don't
:51:24. > :51:34.have built in goggles. You've thought of everything. There's no
:51:34. > :51:36.
:51:37. > :51:46.getting out of this, is there? GERAT! --GREAT! Release the water.
:51:47. > :51:47.
:51:47. > :51:52.OK, water being released. So, the team are busy planting weights with
:51:53. > :52:02.floating ribbons for me it grab. I will try to hunt them out in the
:52:03. > :52:21.
:52:21. > :52:28.water like the dipper does with its I can't even get near them. Got
:52:28. > :52:38.them. That was easy. That's not it, is it? Are you going to make this
:52:38. > :52:39.
:52:39. > :52:45.more difficult. Can we turn up the water. OK, the flow is turned up.
:52:45. > :52:53.HATEYOU. The dipper has a strong current to battle through. It's
:52:53. > :52:59.only fair I tackle the equivalent for my size. The dipper is a clever
:52:59. > :53:09.bird much I could do with long gripy toes. Try again. I don't know
:53:09. > :53:13.
:53:13. > :53:23.what technique to use. I wonder if No! It didn't work. I think I may
:53:23. > :53:30.
:53:30. > :53:40.need a little work on my dipper This current is getting the better
:53:40. > :53:45.of me. Bye! So, we are back in the cave, heading towards the grand
:53:45. > :53:48.finale which is, Naomi's cave dive of justice. To get there we have to
:53:48. > :53:55.go through this little squeeze. another little squeeze. I'm not
:53:55. > :53:59.built for caving. Go on, Steve. That's horrid. Naomi, hopefully you
:53:59. > :54:05.should get through better than I did. Coming through. I don't like
:54:05. > :54:12.caves very much. One of the biggest expeditions I have done was in a
:54:12. > :54:17.cave system. We spent nearly three- and-a-half weeks under ground.
:54:17. > :54:21.Papua New Guinea is an extraordinary place. This cave has
:54:21. > :54:26.a river which has been underground for many, many miles. Inside was a
:54:26. > :54:30.world that no-one had explored before. The water here is very fast
:54:30. > :54:35.flowing and deep. That is why we are wearing life jackets. If you
:54:35. > :54:41.are spending a lot of time in the water, try not it get too cold. We
:54:41. > :54:48.are battling against the flow. There are these lines so we can get
:54:48. > :54:53.across safely. It's pretty fast through here. You don't want to get
:54:53. > :54:58.swept away there, do you? These cave passages have never before
:54:58. > :55:02.seen light. Every step was the first taken here by any explorer. I
:55:02. > :55:07.don't know if you can make this out. We haven't got enough light to show.
:55:07. > :55:16.We are sitting at the top of a white water cataracts which is
:55:16. > :55:20.raging off down into the mountain. It's incredible the amount of water
:55:20. > :55:26.going through here. If you lost your footing you could get swept
:55:26. > :55:34.into a place where the water goes under ground with no air or swept
:55:34. > :55:39.over the top of a waterfall. This have to be one of the most exciting
:55:39. > :55:44.thing I've ever done. No-one has ever seen any of this. In a river
:55:44. > :55:47.cave quite often you come to obstacles where the water seems it
:55:47. > :55:53.disappear, the hits a blank waut wall and it's gone. It continues on.
:55:53. > :55:59.The only way to get into it is exploring it and ducking under the
:55:59. > :56:06.water. We have got a sump right here. It's leading to the outside
:56:06. > :56:11.world. I can go under here. It's freezing! You have to get right
:56:11. > :56:15.down, as low as you can to the ground. It's tight through there. I
:56:15. > :56:18.will make sure your head gets clear of. It you should pop-up on the
:56:18. > :56:28.other side. It will be great. I will give you a countdown. Are you
:56:28. > :56:32.
:56:32. > :56:38.ready? Yes. 3-2-1, GO. Go on. Go on, girl. It's freezing. Oh, my
:56:38. > :56:45.goodness, that is so cold. That is cold. That was fun! Big round of
:56:45. > :56:52.applause for Naomi Wilkinson. I tell you what, we should stop
:56:52. > :56:57.calling this show Live 'n' Deadly we should call it Naomi the Awesome
:56:57. > :57:00.Faces Her Fear. I would like to say I've had a lovely time here.
:57:00. > :57:07.would be a lie.. Thank you to everyone at Belfast Activity Centre
:57:07. > :57:12.for keeping us safe and looking after us. Thank you to our Live 'n'

:57:28. > :57:35.Where Deadly goes no-one knows, here's a clue, it could be near you.
:57:35. > :57:43.Next week Steve takes to two wheels and tests his skills on the UK's
:57:43. > :57:47.biggest peaks. There is a bird brained deadly mission for
