What are the scariest monsters of the animal kingdom? In this MEGA episode Halloween special, Nat Geo Animals takes a look at some of these deadly and dangerous animals. First, join Dr. Brady Barr in the Louisiana Bayou to study alligators. Then, take a look at the highly toxic creatures hidden in Earth's jungles. Finally, learn more about bears and the climate change factors driving them closer and closer to human civilizations. Featuring three, full episodes: Dangerous Encounters: Bayou Beasts - 00:00 Weighing several hundred pounds and armed with vicelike jaws capable of dismembering prey, the alligator snapper is a true prehistoric beast - and Dr. Brady Barr is on a mission to find it. Brady heads to Louisiana to see if they still lurk in the waters of the Southeast. 'Noodling' for turtles is an old Cajun technique, but for Brady, blindly searching bayou bottoms with his hands and feet borders on insanity. The beasts sit ready with mouths open, one mishap and Brady's fingers will disappear. Bite, Sting, Kill: Monsters in the Shadows - 45:01 Life proliferates in the thickest rainforests and jungles and it's a battle to avoid being eaten. Here, highly toxic creatures abound and their weapons are cruel. From the creepiest bugs to the bigger monsters in the shadows, there is a little bit of terror behind every tree. And when we humans move into the jungle, it becomes a game of Russian Roulette. It can be very difficult to spot your jungle killer hidden among the leaves. When Predators Attack: Killer Claws - 1:29:03 Bears are iconic symbols of nature, a treasure to see in the wild…when kept at an appropriate distance. With habitat loss and a changing climate, the world’s strongest bears are inching closer to our homes. And nothing beats their killer package. Watch what unfolds when black bears, grizzlies, and giant polar bears face off against prey and people, in a final attempt to stay alive.
