Departure Lounge with Deadly 60's Steve Backshall

Episode 267,   Jan 21, 2019, 09:27 PM

It's not that Steve Backshall has a death wish. Quite the opposite, actually. He lives for adventure, and his mission to come as close as possible to 60 of the world's most deadly animals is a brazen way to challenge himself.

The naturalist and wildlife expert journeys to five continents and encounters a wide range of mammals, birds, reptiles and insects -- some familiar, others quite unusual -- including Baja rattlesnakes, tarantula hawk wasps, Humboldt squid, wolf eels and flesh-eating cockroaches.

Backshall also tries to mimic the animals to see if he can match their lethal skills, such as hanging like a bat or flying down a zip wire to emulate a fish eagle.

Star of the hit TV series Deadly 60, Steve Backshall is returning to Australia. Don’t miss DEADLY 60 DOWN UNDER back by popular demand to Geelong these summer school holidays.

After multiple sell-out Australian tours and sold out shows from Broome to the Sydney Opera House, this is Steve’s most exciting show ever - featuring some of Australia’s deadliest animals live on stage!

Join Steve as he shares stories and videos from his Australian adventures, plus there will be loads of audience participation and lots of on-stage fun.
