|  Hungarian-born herpetologist and intrepid adventurer Zoltan Takacs flies, drives and treks deep into the jungles of Cameroon to satiate his need for snake venom and blood. He's determined to discover why snakes have such deadly venom: is it to kill their prey or digest it? To get the answer, Zoltan steps into the ring with the undisputed heavyweight of the forest - the Gaboon viper. These seven-foot long, 17-pound behemoths have fangs reaching two inches long, capable of injecting a large amount of venom deep into its victim. But capturing them won't be easy, so Zoltan joins forces with local Baka Pygmies. Their intimate knowledge of the forest and the creatures that live in it could spell the difference between success and failure for Zoltan's mission. © N.G.S.
