Deadly 60
Encyclopedia
Deadly... is a strand of British wildlife
documentary
programming aimed principally at children and young people, which is broadcast on CBBC
on BBC One
and Two
and on the CBBC Channel
. It is presented by Steve Backshall
, with Naomi Wilkinson
as co-host on Live 'n Deadly. The strand began with a single series known as Deadly 60, and has subsequently expanded into a number of spin-offs, re-edits and follow-up versions.
Each series sees Backshall and his camera crew (who are often themselves seen on screen) travelling the world in an attempt to find the 60 "most deadly" animals in the world. Each episode of the series features several animals and each seqence sees Backshall tracking the animal in its habitat, and giving details of what makes the animal notable, with particular emphasis on its impact on the wider ecosystem and the manner of its predatory behaviour; thus, why it is "deadly". With two series so far produced, 120 animals have to date been featured in the programme.
Deadly 60 is distributed by BBC Worldwide
to many other countries. Most prominantly to the US on NatGeo Wild
from August 2011.
1. South Africa
This episode is the first episode to look at South Africa. Steve Backshall first looks at hippopotamuses, and meets a very special hippo called Jessica before kayaking to look for some hippos. He gets trapped by two hippos in a river but his crew manages to save him. Next he goes to a Reptile Park and looks at Rock Pythons, Black Mambas and Rinkhals and chooses one for his list(the black mamba). Then Steve looks for invertebrates and sees Baboon Spiders and African Rock Pythons, but calls them pussy cats. He then finds the Fat-Tailed Scorpion and puts that on the Deadly 60.

2. South Africa
This time Steve continues exploring South Africa and goes to an animal sanctuary and looks at African fish eagles. One called Bonno which lives in captivity goes fishing for plastic fish. After Steve watches this he tries his own hand at fishing and massively fails. After this Steve puts the African fish eagle on the Deadly 60. As Steve starts leaving he picks up the local newspaper and reads about a girl getting attacked by a Nile Crocodile in her swimming pool Steve sees them close up and decides to look at them close up and see if they can make the Deadly 60. He decides they are deadly enough. Next he sneaks up on impala, giraffe and wildebeest and tries to see if he can match their ability to stalk and catch prey but fails. He decides to see if the African hunting dogs are better. He goes in a plane searching for some dogs but doesn't find any. He puts them on the Deadly 60 anyway.

3. South Africa
This program is the last visit to South Africa of the season. Steve plans to look for great white sharks, and after a decision to head inland because of bad weather that would potentially frustrate his plans, and Steve goes inland and after walking with a honey badger called Buster he gets friendly with Buster and gets attacked(sort of), and after calling it fearless, puts it on the Deadly 60, then checks out a wildlife sanctuary where a meer-kat bites him, a springbok runs at him with it's horns extended out in front and then he meets a bat-eared fox, which he calls to cute to make the Deadly 60 and then he meets a caracal. He says these are great predators and after getting close to one and strokes it, being very careful as of his luck with the other animals, but the caracal attacks him anyway and Steve decides caracals deserve to be on the Deadly 60. Next he decides not to go out to look for sharks just yet, and looks at stingrays instead, close relatives of sharks. He feeds some off the coast of Cape Town, and explains that because they killed Steve Irwin, the last man who would want stingrays hated because of what happened to him, they won't be going on the Deadly 60, and instead after a while goes out on a boat looking for sharks. He goes shark-feeding with shark bait and sees one, but decides not to get wet with one. However, great white sharks manage to go on the Deadly 60.
