Snake Secrets
Over the 120 million years of their evolution snakes have developed from lizard-like creatures to the most deadly assassins imaginable; discover the secret nature of these killer reptiles.
Death by Silk
All spiders are carnivores and they have come up with a bewildering number of different ways to catch a prey. Most impressive of all is their ability to produce one of the strongest natural materials known - silk. And they have learned to use it for a variety of purposes, from building protective nests for their offspring to weaving elaborate traps and even deadly weapons to kill their next meal.
