Product Information

　　看似微不足道的細小昆蟲與吸血蟲絕對是人們在地面上其中的一個大敵，人類懼怕牠們，因為只要被牠們叮或咬了一口，就可能會感染到致命疾病。本系列除了介紹地面上的致命昆蟲外，也會介紹一些海上惡霸，如白鯊、牛鯊和海蛇。透過本系列，觀眾將會認識到這群有毒動物的習性與獨特，讓大家從中領略與牠們相處之道。

•致命昆蟲
　　這些隨時可以致人於死的生物往往比我們想像中的還要靠近。從殺人蜂、蜘蛛、甚至是吸血寄生蟲，都對我們造成不少威脅。為什麼人類會懼怕這些看似毫不起眼的小昆蟲？因為只要被牠們咬或叮了一口都極有可能傳給人們致命疾病，如瘧疾。單在非洲已有約百萬兒童因被蚊叮而感染瘧疾死亡。欣賞過本節目後，便可了解牠們的習性和領略鉍致命昆蟲和平共處的最好方法。

•吸血魔王
　　這是個既駭人卻又十分有趣的節目，因為世界上不同的吸血生物將在本集逐一露臉。主持人尼柯在南美洲親眼見到了一片當地人所畏懼吸血烏雲 – 難以數計的吸血飛蟲！種種令人難以致信的吸血動物紛紛出爐，包括吸血魚、吸血鳥等等。除此之外，尼柯還與我們一同探索有「精力之源」之稱的血液，揭不許多惱人疾病的傳染方式。就與尼柯一起探索「吸血人」存在的可能吧！

•深海惡霸　
　　兩頭有海中略食者惡霸 - 白點鯊在海中巡游；江海交界處有著牛鯊在看守著。水底攝影師有的僅僅是手中的攝影機，他們將要善用肢體語言來鬆懈鯊魚的注意力並進行研究；如能成功，這對在這種海域不幸落海的人，就像是在印地安娜波利斯號上的乘客將是一大福音。

•千變萬化大海蛇
　　本節目為一段至今仍在進行的進化史見證；大約四百萬年前，一群帶有劇毒的爬蟲類離開地面，回歸海洋，牠們的後代就是本節目的主角 – 海蛇。來到這個延續千萬因由的進化境界，一路上見證牠們如何重新適應海洋並征服它；從到澳大利亞的溼地、太平洋熱帶海域，最後到世界海蛇首都 – 艾斯摩爾，為牠們的進化史劃下完美一筆。

　　There are many venomous living things crawling and flying around the land, like bugs and bloodsuckers. The biological system does benefit from such creatures; however, a bite from one of these can fatally harm human beings. Besides these creatures on land, there are dangerous creatures swimming around in the oceans. This series introduces sea monsters like the bull shark, white tip shark and sea shark. The crew in this series will show us how special and fatal these creatures are to humans.

- Deadly Bugs
　　Deadly creatures may lurk closer to home than we think, from killer bees and spiders to bloodsucking parasites. This program proves how the smallest creatures in the world can also be the most deadly. As their bites are poisonous or transmit diseases, people fear insects very much. It is estimated that one million children per year die from malaria, a disease transmitted by mosquitoes, in Africa. Despite the chilling statistics, entomologists believe that life on earth will be vastly different without insects.

- Bloodsuckers!
　　A scary but fun one-hour program where we meet and see in action every bloodsucking creature on earth, this program illustrates how's and why's of bloodsucking. Program host Nigel will travel to South America and witness a cloud of blood sucking. Other bizarre bloodsuckers include a blood sucking bird and fish will be introduced. Through the presenter's veins, we will learn the nutritious nature of blood and how diseases are transmitted to the body as they suck the blood. A real life human vampire - surely impossible? Perhaps not.

- Sharks of the Deep Blue
　　Two fierce predators, the oceanic white tip shark that inhabits deep offshore waters and the bull shark that patrols the murky shallows of rivers and estuaries, are examined. Underwater photographers search the depths off Hawaii for the dangerous and seldom seen oceanic white tip shark. Using their cameras for defense, they demonstrate how to survive an encounter with the predator responsible for the deaths of hundreds of shipwreck victims. In the shallow Bahaman waters, a scientist shows how to avoid being attacked by bull sharks using relaxation methods and body language techniques.

- Sea Serpents
　　This story is evolution in action. Over the last 4 million years, a diverse and deadly group of reptiles have left the land and returned to live in the ocean ¡V the sea snakes. We journey through a world of evolutionary links that are not missing. Along the way we explore various experiments that have seen the sea invaded and conquered anew. Spanning the wetlands of Australia and remote locations in the tropical Pacific, we wind our way to our ultimate destination: Ashmore Reef, the sea snake capital of the world.
