Dominic journeys into the wilds of Venezuela in search of a remote cave rumoured to house the world's largest centipede: scolopendra gigantica is an aggressive, venomous carnivore that is rumoured to snatch bats right out of the air. To get to his prey, Dom first runs the gamut of Caracas traffic and army checkpoints, then finds himself abseiling into a toxic cave and hiking through a snake-infested jungle. Along the way he encounters an array of fascinating animals, including a false chameleon, a sloth, a deadly neotropical rattlesnake and a tarantula.
