An up close and personal look at some of the deadliest animals in the wildlife kingdom. This series showcases the methods, tactics, and weapons animals use to find their next meal, or to avoid becoming one.
The savannah is home to nature's most iconic killers-lions, rhinos, venomous snakes, and wild dogs-each a lethal predator in its own right. In this unforgiving land, only the most cunning and brutal survive.
Seven temperate forests span the globe, rich in color and teeming with killers. From wolves and moose to bears and snapping turtles, these wild assassins are built to survive and dominate in one of Earth's most beautiful-and brutal-biomes.
Covering 71% of Earth, the ocean is a vast, mysterious biome filled with lethal predators. From venomous jellyfish and stinging anemones to giant spider crabs and great white sharks, these wild assassins have evolved to dominate the deep.
Cape Buffalos travel in herds and are fiercely protective of their young, they kill more humans in the wild than Lions or Tigers, fending off predators with their powerful horns.
Lush, humid, and full of danger-Earth's tropical rainforests are home to silent killers. From stalking tigers and camouflaged pythons to ambushing saltwater crocodiles and razor-toothed piranhas, these wild assassins thrive in the jungle's shadows.
Masters of the sky, these airborne assassins come in all shapes and sizes. Armed with razor-sharp beaks and mighty talons, Falcons and Eagles are some of the world's most aggressive and highly adept aerial hunters.
Covering a third of Earth's land, deserts are far from lifeless-they're lethal. Venomous snakes strike with blinding speed, raptors rule the skies, scorpions lurk in the sand, and dingoes and goannas hunt with savage precision. These are desert assassins.
The tundra is cold, vast, and lethal. Beneath the ice, leopard seals strike with speed. Arctic wolves stalk the snow, snowy owls kill from above, and polar bears rule with raw power. These wild assassins are nature's most chilling killers.
Go behind enemy lines and see how predators in the wild find strength and safety in numbers.
To master the art of disguise is for many an impossible feat but, for these universal soldiers, it's the weapon that makes them experts at hunting and hiding.
In this episode of Wild Assassins, we will take a closer look at the animals of the wild that have a weapon that is perhaps more deadly to us than any other in the animal kingdom.
