0:00:02 > 0:00:04Welcome to my Nightmares Of Nature.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08I'm Naomi Wilkinson...
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Ah! Oh, my goodness!
0:00:10 > 0:00:12..and I'm coming face-to-face
0:00:12 > 0:00:14with the nightmares of the animal world...
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Ooh!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18..the ones that make your spine tingle...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21..your heart beat faster...
0:00:21 > 0:00:23SHE SCREAMS
0:00:23 > 0:00:25There it is, there it is!
0:00:25 > 0:00:27..and your blood run cold.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Are they truly terrifying?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Or is there a twist in the tale?
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Come with me as I shine a light on wildlife's deepest, darkest secrets.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45And see if you can guess which will be my worst nightmare.
0:00:51 > 0:00:5376,000 miles.
0:00:56 > 0:00:5955 nightmare contenders.
0:01:03 > 0:01:0612 worst nightmares.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12I'm home!
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Yes!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I'm back!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Water from the tap.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Cheers. Coffee!
0:01:22 > 0:01:23My pillow!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26With no spiders.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33So, my nightmare hunting may be over,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36but I still have one big choice to make.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Obviously, at the end of each episode,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I decide on my worst nightmare.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Giant hammerhead. Hibernation.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44The tarpon. My worst nightmare.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45CAMEL GRUNTS
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Like that. But as this is the end the series...
0:01:50 > 0:01:52SHE SOBS THEATRICALLY
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Why?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Why? Why?!
0:02:01 > 0:02:07..I have to decide on my Ultimate Nightmare from the whole series.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Yes, out of 55 nightmares.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Er, 55, guys.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Thank you.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I must choose one...
0:02:20 > 0:02:22One. So what will it be?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24How am I going to decide?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I have met some pretty heinous horrors
0:02:26 > 0:02:28on my search for nature's nasties.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31No!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34'I've taken to the skies...'
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Ah!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38'..and plunged to the depths...
0:02:39 > 0:02:41'..all to bring you the very best...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43SHE SHRIEKS
0:02:43 > 0:02:47'..of the very worst that nature has to offer.'
0:02:49 > 0:02:54'Let's hear it for the freaks, geeks and monsters
0:02:54 > 0:02:56'of the animal world.'
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Hey, maybe my Ultimate Nightmare could be a monster.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Or a dragon!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I've met a fair few of those.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Like that blue-skinned, red-eyed
0:03:08 > 0:03:09monster of the Cayman Islands.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Wow.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I actually quite liked them.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Or those monsters of the deep in the Bahamas.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18VOICE DISTORTED BY SNORKEL
0:03:18 > 0:03:21DISTORTED WORDS
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Super-sized super-shark.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25But my ultimate monster title
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and surely the strongest contender so far
0:03:28 > 0:03:30has to go to that clingy cephalopod
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I met in California.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36It's got three hearts, nine brains
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and can measure eight metres across.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42The Giant Pacific Octopus is a nightmare to behold.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45They are formidable predators
0:03:45 > 0:03:48who come out at night to hunt and have been
0:03:48 > 0:03:51known to eat birds and even sharks.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I've come to Monterey Bay Aquarium
0:03:54 > 0:03:57to meet octopus expert Alicia
0:03:57 > 0:03:59and one very special resident.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Let's see if she wants to come over.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Really? OK.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I'm going to just tempt her over with a little piece of shrimp here.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Is that her favourite food?- Uh-huh.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11She's got hold of you.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15It's like one of those mats you put in the bath.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Exactly.- How many suckers have they got?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20About 2,000.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Wow!
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Oh, it's a bit alarming how quickly they can capture you.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29So they've got a mouth somewhere in there, have they?
0:04:29 > 0:04:30The mouth is in the middle here.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34There goes the shrimp that we gave her.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- And is that quite dangerous?- Mm.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40It's the only hard part that they have in their entire body.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43But it's used to open clams and crabs,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45and so...
0:04:45 > 0:04:47it could definitely cut through bone.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50So you want to stay away from the beak.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Yeah, I guess, if it can eat a crab...
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- Yeah.- That's a pretty strong mouth part.- Uh-huh.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Uh-oh!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Are you OK? Do you need any help? - I'm fine.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I'm not sure I'd know what to do to help, to be honest.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I'm offering to help, but I don't know how.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06What does that mean, when it does a massive, wide open...
0:05:06 > 0:05:08HOLLOW GURGLE
0:05:08 > 0:05:10That's what it means!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13It's taking in the water, is it?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Yep.- Oh!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19This is the weirdest creature ever.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Would you like to pet her?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Er...
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Yes?
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Look at this.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It's an absolutely brilliant strategy, isn't it,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36to capture their prey?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40My goodness. Just to suck it in towards you.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I mean, imagine if all these arms were on you.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44You wouldn't be able to get away.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Imagine a small animal.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47- Doesn't stand a chance.- Mm-mm.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50It's really pulling me in.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53There's being friendly and then there's being very, very clingy.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Can I just say, that octopus
0:05:56 > 0:05:59actually left sucker marks on my hand?
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Hm. Evidence.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Admittedly, the light wasn't very good when I took the photo.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It's quite hard to see how red it was.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07It was really red, angry and sore for...
0:06:08 > 0:06:12It's only just gone away, really. Anyway, shall we carry on?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15They wouldn't ever go for a human, would they?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18No. I mean, it's never happened.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Till today!
0:06:22 > 0:06:27It's not every day you get to meet an eight-limbed sea creature with
0:06:27 > 0:06:29a fondness for arm wrestling.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Can I have my arm back now, please?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I think that might be octopus for "no".
0:06:37 > 0:06:38True monster.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Could definitely be a contender for my worst nightmare.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44But I don't want to be a sucker, and go for the first option.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Get it? Like the octopus's suckers.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Anyway...
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Being home from my nightmare adventures
0:06:53 > 0:06:54does have its drawbacks, though.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56All those time zones.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I never know if it's breakfast...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Ooh, whoops.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Dinner...
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Middle of the night...
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Morning!
0:07:11 > 0:07:15And if I can't sleep, I just count nightmares.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Rodents.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22It's a horse.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Head lice.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Pigeon poo.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Camel spider.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Well, that's not helping me sleep,
0:07:35 > 0:07:36especially the camel spider.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Ow! What was that?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Aha!
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Come with me.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Come and have a look at this.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48So, when I get back from my travels,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I like to put a pin on a map.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54This is where I've been before.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Now, for series four.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Brazil!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02British Columbia in Canada.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04California.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07The Bahamas.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Oh, the Cayman Islands!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11New Zealand.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14The Arabian desert.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Kalahari safari.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Rio de Janeiro!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Welcome to Iceland.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29My house of horrors... Come in.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34So how do I fathom out my Ultimate Nightmare?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Haven't got a clue.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Clues! Maybe that's it.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40I have had to turn detective
0:08:40 > 0:08:43on quite a few of my nightmare encounters.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Like in the Cayman Islands,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55working out what was causing that ghostly glow.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56SHE GIGGLES ANXIOUSLY
0:08:58 > 0:09:01It turned out to be a magic soup
0:09:01 > 0:09:03of tiny twinkly plankton.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's incredible!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's like my toes are casting a magic spell.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Or in the Arabian desert,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15what was that nightmare hiding
0:09:15 > 0:09:18in the burrow of the spiny-tailed lizard?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Oh, my goodness. Oh!
0:09:23 > 0:09:25But my detective skills were tested
0:09:25 > 0:09:29to the max by those mystery monsters in the Bahamas.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35My first job was to build up an image of the creature.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37And like any good detective,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I appealed to the general public for help.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I've been told there are monsters lurking around here.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Oh, yeah!- Could you tell me, what do they look like?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Teeth in the front, and these teeth down here,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54and they have a great big snout that looks like a snorkel.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Let's ask these guys, cos they look a lot friendlier than my picture
0:09:56 > 0:09:59so far. What are their eyes like?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Eyes? Pretty squinty.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Squinty eyes.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Nasty-looking teeth.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Nasty-looking teeth?
0:10:06 > 0:10:07- Yeah!- Big and nasty!
0:10:08 > 0:10:14With my sketch complete, our mystery monster can be revealed.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16So THIS is our culprit.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19A...monster indeed!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21A true nightmare of nature!
0:10:25 > 0:10:2950 years ago, these beasts were introduced to an island.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33It's believed the man who brought them here
0:10:33 > 0:10:36had hoped to return and eat them.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39But...they changed.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40They grew.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43They became clever and resourceful,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47and now demand food from the very people who put them there.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51It's time to meet this monster face-to-face.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00We come in peace!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Oh, there! There, there, there!
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Gosh, that's big.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09What?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I don't believe it. It's a pig!
0:11:12 > 0:11:15It's all right, though, cos we're on the boat, they're on land.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18So we can figure out what we're going to do next.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21What? It's swimming?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23It's a swimming pig.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24What?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27They're really good swimmers, aren't they?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Oh, hello. You're not scary.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Look at your big snout poking out the water.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35And big ears!
0:11:35 > 0:11:38How hilarious is this?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41And we brought them a little offering.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Yum, apple.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Mmm!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46His little curly tail!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50But it's not just food these pigs are after.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Oh, that one opened its mouth!
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Fresh water is at a premium on this desert island.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00The only reason they can survive here
0:12:00 > 0:12:03is cos there's a fresh spring on the island.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05But, as you can imagine,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07they are always... PIG GRUNTS LOUDLY
0:12:07 > 0:12:09..keen to enjoy...
0:12:12 > 0:12:15So the island mystery may have been solved.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19But, before I left, there was one more thing I had to do.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22I'm going in!
0:12:22 > 0:12:26How often do you get to say you've been swimming with pigs?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Play nice, OK? I haven't got any apple.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It's quite cold.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Not doggy paddle, it's piggy paddle.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Hello.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43These pigs may have been introduced to the island as a source of food.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48But my porky pals now so popular with visitors that they are well
0:12:48 > 0:12:49and truly here to stay.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54It's actually not that surprising that pigs swim.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56They've got to cool down somehow and, unlike us,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58they don't have sweat glands,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01so getting in the water is their best option.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Backstroke!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Breaststroke!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11You make it look so easy.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Look at you. But I can't possibly call a swimming pig
0:13:16 > 0:13:19my Ultimate Nightmare.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Hmm.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Back to the drawing board.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Now, THIS is my idea of a great creature.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Hello, Wiggles.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Did you miss me? Did you?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35You're not a nightmare, are you?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39No! But actually I have met quite a few animals that didn't look like
0:13:39 > 0:13:43a nightmare, but were hiding some pretty terrifying traits.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47ELECTRONIC ZAPPING
0:13:47 > 0:13:49How did you just do that with your eyes?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Maybe one of those could be my ultimate series nightmare, eh?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Sweet...or sinister?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I'm going to put you back now
0:13:56 > 0:13:59just in case you're hiding a terrifying side.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Like the lovable dolphins,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10who are prone to bully-boy tactics.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14One just jumped over my head!
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Fighting hummingbirds in Brazil.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21That is one brawl I would not want to be in the middle of.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Or those desperately cute meerkats that turned out to be murderers.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32And it didn't end there.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Ladybirds who eat their brothers and sisters.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36SQUEAKY VOICE: Everybody loves me.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I'm shiny and spotty.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Yes, but we do squirt blood from our knees.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47To be honest,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51if you are nightmarish, I'd rather you just came straight out with it.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Perhaps I could give my series nightmare title to one of these?
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Maybe...head lice?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00ALL: Eurgh!
0:15:02 > 0:15:03That camel spider?
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Or the worm-munching sharp-toothed snail
0:15:09 > 0:15:10in New Zealand.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19BUT my very worst nightmare and-we-know-it crown
0:15:19 > 0:15:24has got to go to that predator of the New Zealand undergrowth...
0:15:24 > 0:15:26the velvet worm.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I joined Steve for the lowdown on this squirty squirmer.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Heading into the bush.- There we are, this is the bush.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35This worm had better be worth it!
0:15:35 > 0:15:37HE LAUGHS
0:15:37 > 0:15:38It's quite a climb!
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Ooh!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45We're coming, we're coming.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50I know there's one in there. Let's just lift of this bit of...
0:15:50 > 0:15:51It's still stuck on.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Actually, that is a monster.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Oh, wow.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- That's really blue. - That's about as big as they get
0:15:58 > 0:16:00for these North Island ones.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Look at their funny stubby legs.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02They're called lobopods
0:16:02 > 0:16:05and they're specialised legs that are just filled with fluid.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I tell you what, we'll just give it a bit of stimulus.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I'm just going to gently touch its antennae...
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Oh!- Ah!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Did you see, it really fired, didn't it?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- What's it doing?- It's on my finger. It's fired its glue guns.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- It shoots slime. - Why does it do that?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20To hunt, to catch its prey.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Cos it's just a soft-bodied animal.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25But it hunts animals, it hunts other little animals.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Yep, the velvet worm shoots slime.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32On each side of its head are slime-firing pistols.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Like a super sharp-shooter,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37it launches lassoes of goo at its target.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Splat!
0:16:39 > 0:16:43The sticky substance traps its victim so it can't get away.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Actually, having a set of firing glue guns
0:16:50 > 0:16:52could come in pretty handy.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I've put this off long enough.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Dirty washing explosion!
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Stuff it all in.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Oh, better not put that in.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39The last time I saw THAT
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I was painting a giant insect called a weta,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45so Steve could keep track of it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48SHE SHRIEKS
0:17:51 > 0:17:52There you go, Pinky.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Fantastic colour.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Yeah, a much better weta(!)
0:17:57 > 0:17:58And that's not the only animal
0:17:58 > 0:18:02that's been beautified on my nightmare journey.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06There was that super fluffy baby sea otter.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Play it again!
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Oh, play it AGAIN!
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Play it again! I LOVE THAT OTTER!
0:18:23 > 0:18:26The creature that wins the best use of lotions and potions has to be
0:18:26 > 0:18:30that large leviathan, the elephant seal.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Little did I know, to study elephant seals,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40you need a pot of hair dye.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Oh, and a seal scientist called Patrick.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I found myself as his trusty assistant
0:18:48 > 0:18:52in giving a seal its very own name badge.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55So what we're going to do now is walk around the colony here,
0:18:55 > 0:18:56look for those flipper tags -
0:18:56 > 0:18:59if we see one, we're going to put out a dye mark
0:18:59 > 0:19:01using this stamping tool here.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03We'll write backwards on the face of it and then stamp it on the side
0:19:03 > 0:19:06of the seal to give them a nice mark.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07- You use hair dye?- We do,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09the same that your mother would use.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11No way. And how long will that last?
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Just shy of a year, actually.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Until they moult. They last quite a long time.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- So we're going to have to get quite close to do that.- We are, yeah.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21It's one of the excuses we have to work quite closely with these guys.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Well, what could possibly go wrong? Let's do it.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Elephant seals can grow up to four metres in length
0:19:28 > 0:19:31and weigh up to 2,000 kg.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34That's longer and bigger than most cars.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39And they don't take kindly to strangers.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48This is very strange. I've got a lot of eyes on me.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Right, we've found one that we can mark.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Just get the...
0:19:58 > 0:20:00..hair dye ready. 'With the dye mixed,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04'the number written on backwards and my not-so-hi-tech marking device,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06'we are ready to go.'
0:20:06 > 0:20:099404, we're coming to get you.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17With this many seals and the tide high,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20there's not much room for manoeuvre.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25One false move could land me in serious trouble.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Patrick will distract the seal, and then it's up to me.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It's now or never.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- My heart!- That was great!
0:21:37 > 0:21:39That's really scary.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I was more worried about this little one.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I need a really strong, sweet cup of tea.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I think we can jump out of here
0:21:48 > 0:21:50and get away from these guys.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Yeah, let's get away.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Ooh!
0:21:56 > 0:22:00My messages. Let's see who's been calling me while I've been away.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Oh, it's Ed!
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Hey, welcome home, Naomi.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Welcome home.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Now, I hear you're choosing your Ultimate Nightmare
0:22:08 > 0:22:09for the whole series.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Tricky choice. Really tricky choice.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13But it's got to be the spider, hasn't it?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Yeah? I mean, nothing can come close to THAT.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Anyway, looking forward to hearing what you choose.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Spider! Laters. Spider.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Yeah, thank you, Ed.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I didn't think the spider was too bad.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Nightmare for Ed, maybe.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30He's a little bit tickly, isn't he?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Not for me.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34But it's time to make my decision.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37So what is my worst nightmare?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40This is NOT an easy choice!
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I have been inundated with nightmare contenders.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50But can only choose one.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56BLEATING
0:22:56 > 0:22:57SQUAWKING
0:23:00 > 0:23:01DING!
0:23:01 > 0:23:06My Ultimate Nightmare has got to be my night in the Kalahari,
0:23:06 > 0:23:11in the pitch black, with a pride of hunting lions.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14I don't think anything could top that for sheer fear.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Oh, my God, I see one!
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I met up with safari guide Dylan
0:23:23 > 0:23:26and a pride of hungry lions,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28with the aim of seeing their transformation
0:23:28 > 0:23:30into nightmare hunters.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34In the pitch blackness,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36THIS is what I can actually see.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38A big, fat nothing.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45But that's not the case for lions.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47THEY can see in the dark.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Their eyesight is six times better
0:23:51 > 0:23:53than ours at night,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55allowing them to bring down prey
0:23:55 > 0:23:56as large as an elephant.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01To keep track of these petrifying predators,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03we have to use some special kit.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07We're switching our cameras to infrared.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10And we've put some red filters on our lights
0:24:10 > 0:24:12so that we won't disturb the lions.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Then hopefully, this will all give us a secret view into their
0:24:15 > 0:24:17night-time antics.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I literally cannot see the lions now, can you?
0:24:21 > 0:24:27- No.- 'But I KNOW we're surrounded by a pride of deadly predators.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29'And they're hungry.'
0:24:29 > 0:24:31What you can't see can't hurt you.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Er, that's not true.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Until it's on top of you!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39LION SNARLS
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- See those eyes shining?- Oh, gosh. This is terrifying.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49'The lions' hunger is making them more active,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53'and they're coming closer and closer to our vehicle.'
0:24:53 > 0:24:56The cats are now holding all the cards.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00It makes you feel part of the food chain.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I don't want to feel part of the food chain tonight!
0:25:03 > 0:25:04LION GRUNTS
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Oh, my gosh. That made me jump.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11'These cats could easily kill a human
0:25:11 > 0:25:12'and I'm starting to feel like
0:25:12 > 0:25:16'they're eyeing us as potential prey.'
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Oh, goodness. I feel sick.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22(She's coming straight towards us.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- (Should we go?- No.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27(Are you sure we shouldn't move away?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28(She saw me move then.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- (I'm terrified. I'm really scared.- OK.- )
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Oh, she's going to come by me.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39It's OK, just sit still, she won't do anything.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42It's absolutely fine. Absolutely fine.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44You're doing well.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47You can see she's not interested at all.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49LOW GRUNT
0:25:49 > 0:25:54- She is.- That's a contact call. She's now calling for her cubs.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56She wants to go hunting.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58But not for us.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04'And drawn in by her calls, the rest of the pride come running.'
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Beautiful, look.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Wow.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18'A deadly team of hunters is assembled.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21'And there's nothing between me and them.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26'One leap and they could be inside our vehicle.'
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Are you sure we shouldn't go? - No, don't worry.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31'We start the engine.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37'The lions turn and melt into the darkness.'
0:26:42 > 0:26:46What an experience. I was sweating so much!
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Shaking like a leaf. That is going to take me about a week to get over,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52the feeling of that!
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I don't think I've ever been that frightened.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Ever.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00And that is why lions at night
0:27:00 > 0:27:03take my Ultimate Series Nightmare crown.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Decision made.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10So...
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I've FINISHED nightmare hunting now.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Or have I?
0:27:22 > 0:27:23DING!
0:27:23 > 0:27:28But before I declare this gargantuan nightmare adventure over...
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Thank you!
0:27:29 > 0:27:32..there is just one last decision I need to make.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34After the titles, of course.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Oh, I've gone to the wrong house!
0:27:41 > 0:27:42She's gone to the wrong house.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It's the wrong house!
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Right, hold on. Let me just...
0:27:46 > 0:27:48She's just gone to the wrong house, everyone!
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Sorry, went to the wrong house.
