0:04Since first light, George and Gordon

0:06have been continuing their search for

0:08Guyana's top predators.

0:10One of the boatmen thinks he's seen a

0:12giant anaconda hidden in the bushes.

0:18>> Anaconda?

0:21Anaconda?

0:21>> Yeah, and if he says it's a big one.

0:24Really 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

0:49tire.

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

0:58and try and get a picture of this

1:00anaconda on the ground.

1:05Razor grass.

1:07Gordon's about mm 8 ft away from it.

1:11Goodness me, that's a huge snake.

1:14>> It's 5 m long, its body the size of

1:17Gordon's waist.

1:20>> I'm doing a bit of pruning.

1:22Can't really get a clear view of it.

1:25I've seen an anaconda smaller than that

1:28eat a whole pig.

1:31Something the size of me, it could

1:33possibly do it.

1:37>> [music]

1:37>> Anaconda kill by coiling their body

1:39tightly around their prey and stopping

1:42the blood circulation.

1:44The victim is swallowed whole.

1:49>> If you're scared of snakes, this thing

1:51would give you nightmares.

1:54Its tongue's not out.

1:55>> [music]

1:56>> If its tongue comes out, that means it

1:58can sense us, it can actually taste us.

2:00At the moment, I think it's just fast

2:02asleep.

2:06>> Oh my god.

2:10>> Now, that is that's big.

2:13This place really is

2:16strangely rich in wildlife. I've never

2:19seen or heard of anywhere like this

2:22place.

2:23This is a land of giants.

2:25>> Wait.

2:26Its eyes are open. Is that

2:30It's great to see it. I I think we

2:32should just

2:33leave it alone.

2:38>> They head into the forest

2:40where they're confronted by yet another

2:42giant.

2:45>> This is an enormous tree.

2:48It's a silk

2:50cottonwood.

2:51Absolutely

2:53fast. That's bigger than anything we've

2:54seen.

2:56>> Definitely.

2:57>> Good grief.

2:59That is incredible.

3:00>> Look at the size of those buttress

3:02roots.

3:03Oh, wow. Look. Look. Look.

3:05>> Where you going? Where you going?

3:07It's a

3:07>> Oh my god.

3:09>> of those and

3:10>> That is incredible. This is a hawk moth

3:13which has been infected by

3:16>> Is that a fungus?

3:17>> Exactly. And that's grown throughout the

3:19whole animal. The disease makes them

3:22crawl up higher.

3:24>> Really?

3:24>> So, but when they die and the spores

3:27erupt out of the animal, it spreads over

3:30a further area.

3:31>> You have to be very careful what you eat

3:33in the jungle

3:34because there are things that can make

3:36you feel very sick. Other things will

3:38will grow inside you and erupt out of

3:41your back, your stomach.

3:44And here's an example. Sci-fi films,

3:47they try and dream up hideous things,

3:49yeah. But actually, in the real world,

3:51there are 10 times more hideous things

3:54happening to animals all around us than

3:56we than we could ever imagine.

3:58I'll bet you I'll bet you any money that

4:00species of

4:02fungus is is undescribed. I mean

4:06it's a very under-worked group.

4:08That to me

4:10is is quite unique.
