Steve Backshall tracks down some of the largest deadly animals Asia has to offer. Starting in Indonesia, Steve and his crew are chased by a group of ravenous, three-metre-long Komodo dragons, the world's largest venomous lizard.

Steve then heads to Nepal in search of more deadly giants. He enlists the help of an elephant to track down a very grumpy rhinoceros, and stalks the forests in search of the largest cat on earth, the highly elusive and endangered Bengal tiger.

He also has a chance encounter with a nest of giant honey bees, before taking to skies to paraglide with an Egyptian vulture above the foothills of the Himalayas.
