MUMBAI: Adventurer and biologist Niall McCann next month heads out on one of Animal Planet's global adventures to track down the 'Biggest And Baddest'creatures on the planet.
From the killer Cassowaries of Australia, to the largest wild hogs in Texas and Florida, from legendary Anacondas in exotic Guyana, to the hugest Asian elephants in Nepal and much more, Niall goes to the extremes on this ultimate quest to seek out these fantastic animals in the far corners of the earth. The hunt for the 'Biggest And Baddest' will be every night at 9 pm from 1 - 14 February 2013.
He goes all out to get as physically close as possible to the world's hugest and most fearsome creatures. From forging streams, to climbing mountains and trees, to canoeing through treacherous rapids, and even travelling on an elephant's back, join Niall on his gripping escapades to pursue and uncover the globe's most amazing creatures in their individual environments.
On the show he wrestles with Anacondas to measure them, tracks through dangerous snake-infested jungles and faces a potential thunderous onslaught of enraged wild elephants while attempting to unravel the truth of the existence of Raja Gaj, takes deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples of giant wild hogs, assists with the re-location of ferocious crocodiles, and much more.
He also works closely with locals, attacks victims, big game hunters and experts who have spotted these creatures, seeking out famous legends and investigating animal attacks to bring viewers an even more intimate understanding of these misunderstood beings. Just what makes Tigers tick? Are the Cassowaries as nasty as reports claim? Could the massive water snake reported by villagers throughout the Amazon be more than a legend, a prehistoric holdover, or an entirely different sub-species of Anaconda?
One episode looks at the tiger. A huge ferocious man-eating tiger is on the loose in Nepal's western region. It's killed two people so far, and Niall has come here to find out what makes a wild animal a man-eater. He's going to investigate the origins of tigers that attack humans in the region and track down the fearsome tiger in the bush. If it kills another human, it will be branded a confirmed man-eater and will be destroyed. Poachers have reduced the number in tigers throughout Nepal in recent years and now there are only 350 tigers in the wild in Nepal. He believes the more we understand what makes Tigers tick, the more we will be able to avoid human-tiger conflict and help the big cats.
Another episode focuses on crocodiles. In Northern Territory, Australia, Niall pursues tales of the world's largest crocodile. The average saltwater crocodile weighs between 1,300-1700 lbs and can measure 13-18 ft. in length. Recently, a giant "Salty" weighing a ton and over 20 ft. long, was captured in the Philippines after it had devoured two people. Residents of Northern Queensland and Northern Territory have reported similar sized monsters. Now reports are coming in from Shady Creek, Australia. There is a monster out there, reported to be a record size, and it's killing people. Niall will pursue this beast, following its trail of bodies and attacks: to speak to people who lived to tell the tale. Homing in on the big crocodile for re-location, Niall measures and weighs it. Is it a world record?
