Wild Things With Dominic Monaghan - 3x10 - Brazil's Brilliant Pantanal- Followmy.tv

In this episode of Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan, Dominic travels to Kenya in search of the giant spitting cobra. The first animal Dominic sees is a vervet monkey, commonly known as the blue ball monkey. Dominic meets up with his local guide Samson and they head first to the Tsavo Conversation Region in the African Savannah. He then moves onto a wetter, more vegetated region near the Indian Ocean. He spots an Egyptian cobra. It can't spit like the giant spitting cobra, but it is incredibly dangerous. It holds neurotoxic venom that can kill a human within an hour and it is believed to be the snake that killed Cleopatra. Dominic then visits a village in the Chyulu Hills where he eats a traditional lunch of goat with the locals. There, he comes across a black tipped scorpion. Next, they get a call that an elephant has been injured. Dominic goes to the scene with the animal doctor, who injects it with a tranquilizer and takes out the rotting flesh from the injured leg. They patch the elephant's leg back up with clay. When the elephant wakes up, it comes chasing after the crew, with the cameraman, Frank, narrowly avoiding getting trampled. After spending days in the Savannah, and with no luck finding a giant spitting cobra, Dominic and his crew move to an area closer to the Indian Ocean, which is wetter and has denser vegetation. On their way, Dominic spots a Nile monitor lizard and runs out to chase it and hold it. He observes the incredibly muscular tail, which is used to smash any threats. Then, they enter the dense vegetation to set up a trap to catch the giant spitting cobra. They dig two holes and place two buckets on either side of a trap, with the hopes that the cobra will slither into one of them. They also observe Kenya's poaching traps and are surprised that the poaching problem exists this far from any settlements. Next, Dominic visits the Lost City of Getty, which, 500 years ago, was a bustling trade center. Its population mysteriously vanished in the 1600s. There, Dominic finds a hinge back tortoise. Finally, Dominic and Charlie catch a giant spitting cobra. Dominic puts himself in line with the cobra as he taunts it and the cobra spits its venom right onto his glasses. After discovering the giant spitting cobra, they release it back into the wild.
