:27:00
This is scary. I'm so nervous.
:27:03
They wait down in their hole
until the cool of night comes...
:27:06
...then they climb out of their hole...
:27:08
...and sit at the front of the hole, just like this...
:27:12
...in the full ambush position.
:27:15
You all right, sweetheart?
:27:19
There she is. Just like that. Ready.
:27:22
Any animal that she can overpower
and kill with her venom, that's her target.
:27:27
Animals like mice, frogs, lizards, geckos...
:27:30
...small birds, grasshoppers,
anything comes past.
:27:33
She'll wait in the ambush position,
fly out of the hole, grab it...
:27:37
...and, whack, drive those huge great fangs
right into its chest cavity!
:27:42
They've got very toxic venom,
super-toxic venom, and a lot of it!
:27:46
Their fangs are larger than a snake's!
:27:49
Crikey, they're powerful!
:27:50
Sometimes, they'll actually kill their prey...
:27:53
...just with the force, the ferocity,
of that hit when the fangs go in.
:27:58
That's how powerful they are.
:28:00
Let me just see if I can demonstrate her fangs.
:28:04
Get out of my eyes, flies. Not now!
:28:06
Come on, buddy. Come on, sweetheart.
:28:13
You're all right, babe.
:28:18
Stop there, babe.
:28:21
A strike.
:28:23
That was a strike. I upset her.
:28:26
This is nature's way.
:28:28
She's a grumpy girl.
She's a beautiful Sheila, actually.
:28:31
Show us your fangs.
:28:35
Right there!
Have a look at the size of these things!
:28:40
Look at that! Driving them into the stick!
:28:43
You can feel them grinding into the stick.
:28:47
Has she got a set of fangs, or what?
:28:50
Have a go at that! Look!
:28:52
There they are, bigger than
most of the Australian snakes' fangs.
:28:56
She just injected a bit of venom there.
