Deadly 60 – 26 Aug 2010

Today’s recording is Deadly 60 – Mozambique. Before finding anything deadly, he collects some plankton in a pillowcase. Then he goes in search of a huge animal that eats Plankton – a Whale Shark. They accidentally discover a small arachnid called a Solifuge in their hut, the fastest invertebrate in the world. Back to the ocean, and he meets a Potato Grouper. And a Crown of Thorns starfish. Media Centre Description: Wildlife series. Deep in the waters of the Indian Ocean, Steve goes in search of the biggest fish in the sea, so big that it can weigh as much as a double decker bus. He also goes looking for the fastest fish on the planet, but travelling at speeds of 80 miles per hour, Steve’s got his work cut out. After an encounter with a starfish that kills coral with stomach juices, the crew’s nerves are tested to their limit when a truly scary animal turns up uninvited at their digs back on dry land.
