| Summary |
It is thought that there are only 200 breeding pairs of gharials left in the wild. These ancient reptiles have been on the planet since the time of dinosaurs. They are one of the largest reptiles and the fastest breed of crocodile in the water. Steve gets to hold a baby gharial and finds out why they are so successful at fishing. Next up is a hunt for the largest of the big cats, the Bengal tiger, which can grow to over three metres in length. Driving in the jeep it is not long before the crew have an extremely close encounter when they get in the way of some of the parks' larger residents. After a very long wait, and after hunting high and low, Steve and his crew are finally rewarded, especially Johnny the cameraman, who gets to see exactly why the Bengal tiger is no pussy-cat |
