Since first light, George and Gordon
0:06
have been continuing their search for
0:08
Guyana's top predators.
0:10
One of the boatmen thinks he's seen a
0:12
giant anaconda hidden in the bushes.
0:18
>> Anaconda?
0:21
Anaconda?
0:21
>> Yeah, and if he says it's a big one.
0:24
Really big.
0:28
>> [music]
0:34
[music]
0:41
>> Is it a big one?
0:42
>> It is a big one indeed.
0:44
>> Can we get in that in that hole?
0:48
>> It's like a It's like a It's like a car
0:49
tire.
0:50
>> Yeah.
0:50
>> It's like a car tire on its side.
0:52
>> A very large car tire.
0:54
>> Gordon is just going to sneak onto land
0:58
and try and get a picture of this
1:00
anaconda on the ground.
1:05
Razor grass.
1:07
Gordon's about mm 8 ft away from it.
1:11
Goodness me, that's a huge snake.
1:14
>> It's 5 m long, its body the size of
1:17
Gordon's waist.
1:20
>> I'm doing a bit of pruning.
1:22
Can't really get a clear view of it.
1:25
I've seen an anaconda smaller than that
1:28
eat a whole pig.
1:31
Something the size of me, it could
1:33
possibly do it.
1:37
>> [music]
1:37
>> Anaconda kill by coiling their body
1:39
tightly around their prey and stopping
1:42
the blood circulation.
1:44
The victim is swallowed whole.
1:49
>> If you're scared of snakes, this thing
1:51
would give you nightmares.
1:54
Its tongue's not out.
1:55
>> [music]
1:56
>> If its tongue comes out, that means it
1:58
can sense us, it can actually taste us.
2:00
At the moment, I think it's just fast
2:02
asleep.
2:06
>> Oh my god.
2:10
>> Now, that is that's big.
2:13
This place really is
2:16
strangely rich in wildlife. I've never
2:19
seen or heard of anywhere like this
2:22
place.
2:23
This is a land of giants.
2:25
>> Wait.
2:26
Its eyes are open. Is that
2:30
It's great to see it. I I think we
2:32
should just
2:33
leave it alone.
2:38
>> They head into the forest
2:40
where they're confronted by yet another
2:42
giant.
2:45
>> This is an enormous tree.
2:48
It's a silk
2:50
cottonwood.
2:51
Absolutely
2:53
fast. That's bigger than anything we've
2:54
seen.
2:56
>> Definitely.
2:57
>> Good grief.
2:59
That is incredible.
3:00
>> Look at the size of those buttress
3:02
roots.
3:03
Oh, wow. Look. Look. Look.
3:05
>> Where you going? Where you going?
3:07
It's a
3:07
>> Oh my god.
3:09
>> of those and
3:10
>> That is incredible. This is a hawk moth
3:13
which has been infected by
3:16
>> Is that a fungus?
3:17
>> Exactly. And that's grown throughout the
3:19
whole animal. The disease makes them
3:22
crawl up higher.
3:24
>> Really?
3:24
>> So, but when they die and the spores
3:27
erupt out of the animal, it spreads over
3:30
a further area.
3:31
>> You have to be very careful what you eat
3:33
in the jungle
3:34
because there are things that can make
3:36
you feel very sick. Other things will
3:38
will grow inside you and erupt out of
3:41
your back, your stomach.
3:44
And here's an example. Sci-fi films,
3:47
they try and dream up hideous things,
3:49
yeah. But actually, in the real world,
3:51
there are 10 times more hideous things
3:54
happening to animals all around us than
3:56
we than we could ever imagine.
3:58
I'll bet you I'll bet you any money that
4:00
species of
4:02
fungus is is undescribed. I mean
4:06
it's a very under-worked group.
4:08
That to me
4:10
is is quite unique.
