In this episode:
Jack is on a mission to find one of the largest venomous creatures in the world, THE YELLOW SPOTTED MONITOR LIZARD aka the Argus Monitor. But this is an arid, vast landscape with very little water or food. Does anything even live here?!

Monitor Lizards have recently been demonstrated to be venomous by Dr Bryan Fry, University of Queensland. This discovery challenges understanding of venom and its evolution.
