00:40This is Den's jungle.
00:46That's what machetes are for.
00:53Come on.
00:54Did you ever have one of those friends
00:56that, like, gets you in trouble
00:59all the time?
01:06I remember my very first snake bite.
01:09You never forget your first.
01:10Yeah, that's Brian.
01:15Over the last 25 years,
01:18I've had 27 snake bites,
01:1924 broken bones,
01:21400 stitches,
01:22three concussions,
01:23two stingray stings,
01:25and one near-fatal scorpion sting
01:26in the Amazon.
01:32That went in my ear.
01:34I don't like bugs.
01:37I don't like snakes.
01:40I don't like spiders.
01:43And Brian has us in the middle
01:46of the Amazon
01:49looking for deadly creatures.
02:12On my pole-to-pole journey,
02:15I'm exploring the extremes of our planet
02:18because I'm discovering
02:20that it's at the edges
02:22where you find the answers
02:23to life's most important questions.
02:27My next leg
02:29has dropped me right
02:30into the heart of the Amazon
02:32to join a groundbreaking
02:34scientific expedition
02:36to the world's largest rainforest.
02:48This is our tree.
02:51Wow.
02:54This thing is gigantic.
02:58200 feet.
03:01Seems like a lot of gear
03:03to climb a tree.
03:04Yeah.
03:05The expedition's
03:06led by mountaineer Carla Perez.
03:08Okay, Brian.
03:09You are ready to go.
03:11All right.
03:11Awesome.
03:12All right.
03:12And my man,
03:13Professor Brian Frye.
03:15Show me the way, coach.
03:16Okay.
03:18Now, Brian thinks
03:19there are creatures here
03:21that could hold the secret
03:22to saving millions of lives.
03:25You are doing great, Brian.
03:28The goal of the expedition
03:29is to find new species,
03:32not just for the sake
03:34of finding new species.
03:35You know,
03:35we're not collecting stamps here.
03:37But hunting for new species
03:39that might lead
03:40to important scientific breakthroughs.
03:42I'm just going to put myself up.
03:48But first,
03:49we want to show Will
03:50what an incredible place
03:51the Amazon is
03:52and the sheer scale
03:55of the life that it contains.
03:58You see how well I'm doing?
03:59Keep going, keep going.
04:01You didn't even imagine
04:02I was going to be this good at it.
04:06Here we are.
04:08We made it.
04:12Wow.
04:13Wow.
04:15Just amazing, eh?
04:16Sitting on top of the world.
04:21Look at that.
04:23Just endless.
04:29There is not a hospital
04:30as far as I can see.
04:35Oh, this is fantastic, man.
04:38This is fantastic.
04:40I've brought you up here
04:41to show you why
04:42the Amazon is the best place
04:44on Earth
04:45to look for new species.
04:49If you look around,
04:50not everything
04:51is what you'd expect.
04:54Most of what you're seeing
04:55that's green,
04:55that's not actually
04:56part of the tree.
04:57That's the small plants
04:58living on the tree.
05:00They're called epiphytes.
05:02A tree this size
05:04could have
05:05over 200
05:06different species.
05:08Just look at
05:09what you're sitting on.
05:11That's not the tree.
05:13That's soil.
05:15That's wild.
05:16It's like
05:17another forest floor
05:19on top of the tree.
05:21Exactly.
05:23And the same is true
05:25of animals.
05:26The Amazon is hiding
05:27a wealth of species
05:28that you might not
05:30be able to see,
05:31but you can hear.
05:34Let me show you
05:35something really cool.
05:37I recorded the sounds
05:38of all the animals
05:39in earshot of this tree
05:41for 24 hours.
05:44There's a brown
05:45woolly monkey,
05:46howler monkey,
05:47and that's what we're hearing.
05:48Well, a howler monkey
05:49is what we're hearing now.
05:50Yeah, that really
05:50spooky sound.
05:51That's the Pavarotti
05:53of the jungle.
05:57Yeah, that's him.
05:59Yeah.
06:00You have a pygmy
06:02marmoset in here.
06:04Yeah, they're cool.
06:04A little arboreal
06:05primate.
06:15Oh, man,
06:17the common putu
06:17got rhythm.
06:20It is on and poppin'
06:22in the Amazon.
06:25It's like
06:26a nature club.
06:28It's like...
06:29It's like...
06:34All day
06:36and all night long.
06:41Now, I get it.
06:44This is the most alive place
06:47on Earth.
06:50It feels like there's more
06:52life in this one tree
06:54than the whole of Antarctica.
07:01Exploring the incredible
07:03diversity of life
07:04in the canopy
07:06is already proving
07:07incredibly revolutionary
07:09for biosciences.
07:12But to find the species
07:13I'm interested in
07:14for this expedition,
07:16we're going somewhere
07:18much less charted,
07:19down
07:20into the pitch black.
07:21I'm going to go
07:30to the park.
07:30Try to follow my steps.
07:35Those first couple of steps
07:37in the jungle,
07:39it really is overwhelming.
07:41The smells,
07:43the sound,
07:44and the density.
07:47Watch out this section, guys,
07:49with a lot of insects.
07:50They're really surrounded
07:52by Mother Nature.
07:54And it sounds so silly,
07:56but that was actually
07:58a revelation for me.
08:02There is a real,
08:04like,
08:05blossoming explorer
08:07within me.
08:09I got this.
08:12We are arriving.
08:14The main goal
08:15of our expedition
08:16is just there.
08:17But today,
08:18we are not going up.
08:19We are going down.
08:21Going down?
08:22Yeah.
08:31When you think
08:32of the Amazon,
08:32you don't necessarily
08:35think of caves.
08:37But if you're ever
08:38going to find
08:38something new,
08:41caves are a great
08:42place to start.
08:44And Patello's cave
08:45is a hidden world
08:47where we will find
08:48new life.
08:52Are you okay?
08:54Oh, goodness.
08:57This is the cave.
08:59Whoa.
09:00You see?
09:01Whoa.
09:02I don't like that at all.
09:09We are going down
09:11about 20-story building.
09:15206 feet.
09:17So, yeah.
09:18All right.
09:19So now,
09:19the moment is arrived.
09:23Okay.
09:24See you on the bottom.
09:31The cave has a Spanish
09:33name,
09:34La Cueva de los Tayos.
09:36And local people
09:37call it
09:38the warmth of the earth.
09:41For sure,
09:42this is the most
09:43dangerous moment
09:44in the whole expedition.
09:47Yeah,
09:48I'm a little concerned.
09:49I'm certainly
09:50a little concerned.
09:51When you flip on
09:52your lights,
09:53you're going to see
09:55things that you
09:55never even imagined,
09:57except maybe in some
09:57really feverish dreams.
09:59Okay.
10:00Oh,
10:01there's some really
10:01cool things in there.
10:03I'm not going to ruin
10:04the surprise,
10:04but there's some
10:06wicked-looking animals.
10:09My specific field
10:11of study is
10:12venomology.
10:13It's my job
10:14to discover
10:16new species
10:17of venomous animals.
10:20Venoms
10:20formed the
10:21backbone
10:22of some
10:23of our most
10:24effective drugs.
10:25They've been
10:26truly
10:27revolutionary
10:28in biomedical
10:29science.
10:32Imagine if
10:33down there
10:34there's a cure
10:36for cancer.
10:39Wow.
10:41So we're
10:42looking
10:42for
10:43venomous
10:44species.
10:45Yeah.
10:46Some of the scorpions,
10:47we haven't tested
10:48their toxicity yet,
10:49which means that
10:50the odds of the
10:51antivenom working
10:51really aren't that great.
10:55Yeah,
10:55this whole thing
10:56is stupid.
10:57Yeah,
10:58this is a bad idea,
10:59the whole,
10:59the whole idea.
11:06And it's all
11:07on me?
11:08Yes.
11:09Ah.
11:17Oh, goodness.
11:21Okay,
11:22we got sounds
11:22and clicks
11:24and pops
11:24and stuff.
11:25All right.
11:26Oh, geez.
11:28All right, hold on.
11:29I got to give me
11:30a second to get
11:30my movie star face
11:31back.
11:32All right.
11:34How's that?
11:35Still,
11:36I'm still breathing
11:36too high, though,
11:37right?
11:39All right.
11:40Oh, that's,
11:41I shouldn't have
11:42done that.
11:46Part of this
11:47whole thing
11:48for me
11:48is like
11:50playing my edges.
11:52I just want
11:52to keep
11:53inching out
11:54a little bit
11:54farther to
11:55see something
11:56or feel something
11:57that is
11:58outside of
11:59my comfort zone.
12:00The torch
12:01go off.
12:02This is
12:03my worst nightmare,
12:04but I'm not
12:05going to let
12:06my fear
12:07stop me.
12:18Great.
12:20Good job.
12:22Wow.
12:26Yo.
12:28This is great.
12:31It's like
12:32another world.
12:33You can just tell
12:35things just
12:36look like
12:37no humans
12:38have seen it
12:38before.
12:39Yeah, it's crazy.
12:40The biodiversity
12:40in here
12:41has barely
12:42been scratched.
12:42You know,
12:42there's only
12:43been a handful
12:43of studies
12:45and the
12:46cataloging
12:46of life
12:46in here
12:47is far,
12:48far from
12:48complete.
12:50the creatures
12:51here are
12:51as isolated
12:52as if
12:53they were
12:53on an
12:53island
12:54in the
12:54middle
12:54of the
12:55ocean.
12:55So they
12:55have the
12:56potential
12:56to evolve
12:57into genetically
12:57distinct new
12:59species.
13:01Evolving in
13:02such a dark
13:03and hostile
13:03environment like
13:04this breeds
13:05intense competition,
13:06which also promotes
13:08innovation and
13:09ways to kill.
13:10So you get
13:12new types of
13:12venom with a
13:14power that is
13:14just mind-blowing.
13:15Okay.
13:16What if we
13:17just left?
13:20All right.
13:20Okay.
13:28How far
13:29does it go?
13:30We don't know.
13:31Most of
13:32the cave
13:33has never
13:33been explored.
13:54My team
13:55has identified
13:55this chamber
13:56as a prime
13:57zone for
13:57all the
13:58things we're
13:58after.
13:59So there
14:00should be
14:00lots of
14:01scorpions
14:01and spiders
14:02here.
14:02So we're
14:03basically
14:03going to
14:04try to
14:04clear this
14:05room.
14:06Yeah.
14:07Guys,
14:07now I will
14:09let you
14:09go and
14:10collect
14:11some
14:11specimens.
14:12Okay.
14:12You leave me
14:13with him?
14:14Yeah.
14:15No.
14:15I trust,
14:16but if
14:16you need
14:16me,
14:17you just
14:17scream,
14:17Carla!
14:18Carla!
14:26Hey,
14:26there's a
14:27what is
14:27that?
14:28A little
14:28cave cricket.
14:29A cave
14:29cricket.
14:30Ah,
14:30that jumped.
14:32Okay.
14:34Ooh.
14:34Hey.
14:35Nice big
14:35cockroach.
14:36Here's a
14:37big food
14:37for somebody.
14:39Wow.
14:40You want
14:40to hold
14:40it?
14:41Damn it.
14:42Yeah.
14:42All right.
14:42There we go.
14:43Because I can't
14:44act scared
14:45since you
14:46it's like
14:47men in
14:47black.
14:49Oh,
14:49hey.
14:50Oh,
14:50that's a
14:51nice one.
14:52Oh,
14:52wow.
14:53Can I have a
14:54job?
14:54Which one?
14:55Okay.
14:55So this is a
14:56big spider.
14:57Yes,
14:57I can see that
14:58part here.
14:59I have a
14:59bigger jug
15:00if you want.
15:00Yeah,
15:00I need a
15:01bigger jug.
15:02You're going to
15:03need a
15:03bigger jug.
15:04Here we go.
15:05All right.
15:13And the lid,
15:14Okay,
15:14sorry.
15:15Here you go.
15:15Sorry.
15:17I'm not good
15:17at this.
15:18Is that to
15:18make sure
15:18it's the right
15:19lid?
15:19Yes,
15:19that's a
15:20big girl.
15:21This is
15:21definitely the
15:22biggest spider
15:23I've ever
15:23seen.
15:23The big
15:24brown one,
15:25the goliath
15:25bird eater,
15:27isn't found
15:27near this
15:28region,
15:28so there's
15:29a good
15:29chance this
15:29will be a
15:30new species
15:30of big
15:31brown
15:32tarantula.
15:33That's
15:34insane.
15:36For me,
15:38going on
15:38these expeditions
15:39is like a
15:40once-in-a-lifetime
15:41level of
15:42craziness,
15:42but for
15:43scientists like
15:44Brian,
15:45this is just
15:46another day
15:46in the office.
15:47All right.
15:48I'm going to
15:49show you
15:49something really
15:49cool.
15:50It might sound
15:50stupid,
15:51but we're
15:51going to
15:51turn our
15:51lights off,
15:52but we're
15:53going to
15:53use another
15:53type of
15:54light.
15:54Okay.
15:55So we're
15:55going to
15:55use UV
15:55lights.
15:56It's how
15:56we find a
15:57certain animal
15:58that's really
15:58hard to see
15:59otherwise.
16:01Oh,
16:01wow.
16:01Look at your
16:02shirt.
16:02Ooh.
16:03They use that
16:04at the club
16:04when they put
16:05the mark
16:05on you.
16:06So we're
16:06looking for
16:07something that
16:07does that.
16:08You know,
16:08a little glowy
16:09buddy.
16:10Oh,
16:10hey,
16:10we're right
16:11there.
16:11What is
16:11that?
16:12Wow.
16:12You know
16:12what animal
16:13that is?
16:14Looks like
16:14a scorpion.
16:15Yeah.
16:15And they
16:16glow.
16:16We don't
16:17know why.
16:17Have you
16:18ever been
16:19stung by
16:19a scorpion?
16:20Oh,
16:20yeah,
16:20they suck.
16:21It felt
16:22like my
16:22finger was
16:22in a flame
16:23for about
16:23eight hours.
16:24Ooh.
16:25So are
16:26these things
16:30awesome.
16:32Wow.
16:34Here we go.
16:35So do you
16:36want to just
16:36do it on
16:36your own?
16:37Actually flip
16:38your own rocks
16:39and look for
16:39your own
16:39animals.
16:40Okay.
16:41Yes,
16:41I think,
16:42yes,
16:42sir.
16:42I would
16:43like to
16:43do that.
16:44Awesome.
16:48It's pretty
16:49dark in
16:50here.
16:52Yeah.
16:54The team
16:55is hoping
16:56that,
16:56like,
16:56I would
16:57find
16:58my own
16:58species.
17:01but I'm
17:01pretty
17:01sure
17:03that's
17:03not
17:03going
17:04to
17:04happen
17:07because
17:08I'm
17:08not
17:08really
17:08going
17:08to
17:09look.
17:11Yeah,
17:12there's
17:12nothing
17:12here.
17:14Oh,
17:15there's
17:15a spider.
17:16You don't
17:17see that?
17:19Ooh,
17:19there's a
17:20family of
17:20them.
17:20Damn.
17:21That's
17:22like 10.
17:23Like,
17:24somewhere
17:24around 10
17:24spiders
17:25is where
17:26I leave.
17:28And they
17:29don't,
17:29they're
17:29not new
17:30species.
17:30I can,
17:31they,
17:31um,
17:32those are
17:32normal species
17:33that they
17:34just,
17:34they're
17:34regular
17:35spiders.
17:35So there's
17:36nothing special.
17:36So there's
17:37no reason
17:37for us
17:38to proceed
17:40with the
17:40expedition
17:41in that
17:41direction.
17:43Yo,
17:44yo,
17:45yo.
17:45I don't
17:46want no
17:47parts of
17:47that.
17:48To me,
17:49this looks
17:50like a
17:51regular
17:51species.
17:53So I'm
17:53gonna just
17:53leave that
17:54along.
17:59see
18:00that,
18:00right?
18:02Um,
18:03we
18:04caught
18:04one of
18:05these
18:05already,
18:05so I
18:05think
18:06this
18:06is
18:06cool.
18:07I'm
18:07gonna
18:07just
18:07leave
18:07that
18:07alone.
18:08Ooh,
18:09that's a
18:09bat.
18:10That's a
18:10bat.
18:11That
18:11is a
18:12bat.
18:13Oh,
18:13no,
18:14that's
18:14not one
18:14bat.
18:15That's
18:1510
18:15bats.
18:16They're
18:16flying.
18:17They're
18:17flying.
18:18flying.
18:18All right,
18:20I'll go
18:20on.
18:21Oh.
18:28Carla!
18:40So,
18:41we've
18:41caught a
18:42number of
18:42animals so
18:43far.
18:43And who
18:44knows what's
18:45in their
18:45venom.
18:46Yeah,
18:46that thing
18:46is insane
18:47looker.
18:48So,
18:49there might
18:50be
18:50potential
18:51cures that
18:53come out
18:54of the
18:54tarantula.
18:55Absolutely.
18:56The tarantulas
18:57are the
18:57scorpions.
18:59So,
19:00of all
19:00these
19:00critters,
19:02how do
19:02you know
19:03which one's
19:03the most
19:04useful?
19:05Well,
19:07whichever
19:07is the
19:07most potently
19:08venomous.
19:17venoms are
19:17effective killers
19:18because they
19:19target vital
19:20parts of the
19:21body.
19:22But what's
19:23cool is in
19:24low quantities,
19:25these effects
19:26can be
19:26honest for
19:28good.
19:29The venom
19:30of a
19:30Brazilian
19:30pit viper
19:31kills with a
19:31sudden drop
19:32of blood
19:32pressure.
19:34But it's
19:35been developed
19:36into a
19:36medicine that
19:37more than
19:3740 million
19:38people use
19:39to keep
19:39their blood
19:40pressure under
19:40control.
19:43Scorpion
19:43venoms paralyze
19:45the nervous
19:45system,
19:46but they've
19:47inspired a
19:48medicine that
19:48can help
19:49treat stroke
19:49victims.
19:51A component in
19:52spider venom can
19:53alleviate pain
19:54rather than
19:55cause it.
19:58imagine the
19:59medical
19:59breakthroughs
20:00that could
20:00be made
20:00from new
20:01venomous
20:01species
20:02found in
20:03the Amazon.
20:06So we're
20:07going to
20:07milk the
20:08biggest of
20:09the tarantulas.
20:10Is that like
20:10the scientific
20:11term,
20:11milking?
20:12Well,
20:12we try to
20:13use venom
20:14extraction,
20:15but milking
20:15is kind of
20:16cool.
20:20How long
20:20does the
20:21spider stay
20:22knocked out?
20:22I try to
20:23do as
20:23minimal as
20:24possible,
20:24so it's
20:25usually out
20:25for about
20:25five minutes,
20:26ten minutes
20:27at most.
20:28So you
20:28should hurry
20:28up then.
20:29Yeah.
20:32It takes
20:32three of us
20:33just to wrangle
20:34the animal.
20:35Uh-oh.
20:36Oh, jeez.
20:37He's seeming
20:38frisky.
20:40Yeah, he
20:40looked like
20:40he's been
20:41milked before.
20:43And he
20:44didn't like
20:44it.
20:46We really
20:47don't want
20:47to get
20:48nailed by it
20:48because,
20:48wow,
20:49do they
20:49suck.
20:50Okay,
20:50okay,
20:51all right,
20:51all right.
20:52Dave will
20:53wrangle the
20:53body,
20:54I'll apply
20:54the tans,
20:55you'll run
20:55the tans.
20:56This is called
20:56the tans machine?
20:57Yeah,
20:58it's the same
20:58machine that an
20:59athlete would
21:00use on a
21:00muscle injury,
21:01but we're
21:02going to use
21:03it to gently
21:03stimulate the
21:04venom glands.
21:05Okay,
21:06got it,
21:06got it.
21:08All right,
21:08so first,
21:09Amalia is going
21:10to pop open
21:11one of the
21:11fangs.
21:14Whoa.
21:15Yeah,
21:15that's a big
21:16fang.
21:16Yeah.
21:18Okay,
21:19I've got the
21:19pad on,
21:20got the tans on.
21:21Just tell me
21:21when to
21:22milk.
21:25Okay,
21:25just keep
21:26running it
21:26up.
21:26Keep running
21:27it up.
21:28Faster.
21:37Getting any
21:38venom?
21:38Oh,
21:39nice big
21:39drop,
21:39look at
21:40that.
21:43There we
21:43go,
21:44oh,
21:44that was a
21:44good amount.
21:47No,
21:47yeah,
21:48just let it
21:48hold,
21:48yeah,
21:48hold it
21:49to that.
21:50Hold it
21:51and we're
21:51increasing
21:51it one
21:52milliamp
21:52at a
21:52time,
21:53so we
21:54only use
21:54as much
21:54electricity
21:55as it
21:55takes to
21:56actually
21:56stimulate
21:57the venom
21:57gland,
21:57the same
21:57amount
21:58of neuroelectricity
21:59it would
22:00send,
22:00because we
22:01like these
22:01animals,
22:01you know,
22:02we're driven
22:02by childlike
22:03love for
22:03these creatures,
22:04we don't
22:04want to
22:04hurt them.
22:06Oh,
22:06we worried
22:06about not
22:07hurting them.
22:09We need
22:09to act
22:10quickly.
22:10The spider's
22:11waking up
22:12rapidly.
22:13Uh-oh,
22:13oh,
22:14jeez.
22:15Faster.
22:17All right,
22:18I'm going
22:18up,
22:18going up,
22:19going up.
22:24Look at
22:24the size
22:25of that
22:25drop.
22:25Yeah,
22:26this is
22:26wild.
22:28This is
22:28wild.
22:30That is
22:31an amazing
22:32amount
22:32of venom.
22:35All right.
22:36We're good,
22:36I can
22:36stop.
22:40Your first
22:40venom
22:41extraction.
22:43Whew.
22:45That's
22:45stressful.
22:48And that
22:49was just
22:50the start.
22:51The team
22:52collected
22:53dozens more
22:54creatures,
22:55and anything
22:56they didn't
22:57recognize,
22:59they just
23:00milked it.
23:01Well done.
23:02All right,
23:02good stuff.
23:03Good stuff.
23:04Go team.
23:05Gracias,
23:05gracias.
23:06I mean,
23:06it's a weird
23:07way to make a
23:07living,
23:08but Brian
23:09seemed really
23:09happy.
23:11The expedition
23:12has been
23:14extraordinarily
23:16successful.
23:16successful.
23:17We're only
23:18scratching the
23:18surface of
23:19the bonanza
23:19that we
23:20collected.
23:24I can only
23:25imagine what
23:27kind of
23:27breakthroughs are
23:28contained in
23:29all of these
23:30new venoms.
23:32It was a very,
23:33very special
23:33day.
23:34It's one of those
23:36things you don't
23:37forget too often.
23:39What did you do
23:40today, Daddy?
23:42Oh, I milked
23:43a tarantula,
23:44sweetie.
23:59It looks like
24:00they're leaving.
24:03So how are you
24:04feeling about the
24:04cave now?
24:06You know,
24:07it was, um,
24:08it was interesting.
24:10We milked
24:11the spider.
24:12Thank you for
24:12that.
24:12It's my first
24:13time.
24:13I've never
24:14milked a tarantula
24:16before.
24:16Not a big thing
24:17in Philly.
24:17Yeah, yeah,
24:18we don't do that.
24:19We don't do that
24:19a lot.
24:20We don't do that
24:21a lot.
24:21But when did
24:23you, um,
24:26land on the
24:27idea of, uh,
24:29poison becoming
24:30medicine as
24:32your thing?
24:34A few
24:35different parts.
24:36You know,
24:36one is I was
24:37just a weird kid,
24:38you know,
24:38who really
24:39like venomous
24:39snakes.
24:40In other parts,
24:41you know,
24:41weapons-grade
24:42size dose
24:43of survivor's
24:44guilt,
24:44where when I
24:45was a kid,
24:46I was absolutely
24:47nuked by
24:48spinal meningitis.
24:53It causes an
24:54inflammation of
24:55your spinal cord
24:55and your brain
24:57because it can
24:58be very rapidly
24:59lethal.
25:00You don't come
25:01out unscathed.
25:05Came out of the
25:06hospital,
25:06all my muscles
25:06so wasted,
25:07I had to
25:08relearn how to
25:08walk all over
25:09again.
25:13It also left me
25:14a complete
25:15deafness in my
25:15right ear.
25:17But I got away
25:19as lightly
25:19touched as you
25:20can.
25:24So you said
25:26survivor's guilt.
25:28like, what do you
25:29mean?
25:30Well, it's, you know,
25:32it's a pretty common
25:32thing and it's not
25:33logical, but I'm
25:36driven in part by
25:39being one of the
25:40ones who survived.
25:44anything I can do to
25:45help alleviate that
25:46kind of suffering, you
25:47know, is worth
25:48doing.
25:48I get it.
25:50Something that can
25:51hurt you, being able
25:54to heal you and help
25:55you, I like that.
25:57I appreciate it.
25:58Brian has been
26:00bitten and stung and
26:03poisoned multiple
26:05times.
26:07If I get bit at
26:08work, you know, we're
26:11done for today for
26:12sure.
26:13And, uh, and we're
26:14probably done for
26:15tomorrow.
26:17But in life, there's
26:20something to be said
26:20about not being scared
26:23of getting bit.
26:25Of the myriad of
26:26animals that we got,
26:27we have at least 10 new
26:30species just from this
26:31one expedition.
26:33That's beautiful.
26:34Oh, yeah.
26:35That's beautiful.
26:38Who knows what we
26:40might find in those
26:41new species, what
26:43medicines, what
26:44cures.
26:47And to think we're
26:48just one team, and
26:50this is a forest of
26:52almost 400 billion
26:54trees.
26:59With enough potential
27:01for thousands of
27:02expeditions to explore
27:03for centuries to come.
27:10all right, team.
27:12We're ready to go.
27:14I literally have no
27:16idea where we're going.
27:17Well, we've been in the
27:18caves, catching all kinds
27:20of little creepy crawlies,
27:21but you know that snakes
27:23are my first true love.
27:25You said snakes are your
27:27first true love.
27:28Yeah.
27:28So that's what we're going
27:29after now are some very,
27:31very large snakes.
27:33Snakes.
27:34Oh, God.
27:37You said chicos.
27:39We're going to go after
27:41the world's heaviest snake,
27:42the Ecuadorian anaconda.
27:44Yeah, this is the beginning
27:45of a really bad movie.
28:08When they pull this camera
28:09out of an anaconda 100 years
28:11from now, I just want you
28:13to know it's his fault.
28:17Oh, God.
28:18Oh, God.
28:19Oh, God.
28:28Oh, God.
28:39Oh, God.
