Deadly 360: Lizards

Steve Backshall recreates incredible hunts by some of the world's deadliest creatures, analysing the techniques and tactics of both predator and prey in forensic detail, to reveal why hunts sometime succeed and why they sometimes fail. Steve Backshall analyses three hunts from the scaly world of lizards. A Jackson's chameleon uses its enormous tongue to hunt down a praying mantis. The world's largest living lizard, the Komodo dragon, uses a toxic bite to try and bring down a water buffalo ten times its size. And Steve goes into the upside-down world of the tokay gecko, which uses its incredibly sticky feet to defy gravity in its hunt for moths. Three predators. Three prey. Who will emerge victorious?
