It is full of exciting close up encounters with a plethora of species from the Brown Bear to the Mantis Shrimp, the Black Mamba to the Alligator Snapping Turtle. After writing for ROUGH GUIDES and filming documentaries for NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC he became a key member of the expedition team for the hit series, LOST LAND OF THE JAGUAR, LOST LAND OF THE VOLCANO and LOST LAND OF THE TIGER.

A wide variety of insects, reptiles and amphibians use toxins to subdue their prey or to stop becoming prey to another predator. And if that wasn't enough, in ‘The Venom Hunter’ he endured the stings of hundreds of bullet ants (the world’s most painful stinging invertebrate) in an initiation ceremony.

Steve s encounters range from famous killers such as the Black Mamba and the North American Grizzly Bear to less well known but no less deadly animals. Saker once was one of them, until he met Sinter, and realised that the Clan was working for evil, rather than good. Lets you learn about the ingenious techniques and weapons that some of our most dangerous animals are armed with. Whilst living in the jungle he wrangled snakes and ended up in a Colombian jail (through no fault of his own)! Separated by blizzards and avalanches, lost in a breathtakingly beautiful but deadly frozen Arctic wilderness, suffering from frostbite and hunger, listening to the wolves howl and the packs draw closer, it seems that this time they cannot possibly live to tell their tale.
