Brazil

Synopsis

Steve Backshall and the Deadly crew find themselves in deep water as they head into the flooded forests of Brazil. The water is teeming with life and Steve takes a swim in a piranha-infested river in order to find out more about these killer fish. They are assured of a place on the Deadly 60 list until another mysterious fish lurking in the depths make Steve think again.

Determined to see one of the strangest animals that inhabit the waters of the flooded forest, Steve and the team go in search of pink river dolphins, and an encounter with one of the most venomous snakes on the planet rounds off this flooded forest adventure.
