Survival of The Fittest


Survival of The Fittest There is so much to the Rob Bredl story& he is an intuitive and expert hunter, conservationist, superb animal handler, amazing bush tucker cook and educator. In this episode we're introduced to the man behind, under and on top of a menagerie of animals& most of which want to eat or at least kill him. Rare early footage of this crocodile breeder and hunter shows the emergence of a real Crocodile Dundee right down to the cheeky twinkle in his eye. With a croc knife that hangs like a sword on his belt, Rob takes us hunting for freshwater crocodiles, riding and even kissing savage saltwater crocodile monsters, then gently caring for kangaroos and koalas. He's as natural with dingoes as he is with 6 meter long pythons, and just as cool when bitten by a large Lace Monitor lizard or a 5 meter crocodile that tries to take off his foot. This is the story of how Rob Bredl turned the world into his playground and how its' most deadliest creatures became his toys

Dingoes


Dingos For a study in sheer animal cunning it would be difficult to surpass the dingo; an animal very similar in appearance to the domestic dog with good reason& the dingo is the original dog, the first wolf to be domesticated from Asia 3,000 years ago and now released for so many generations in Australia that it has returned to wolf-like behaviour. Rob Bredl examines this killer of the outback to find the truth behind the hype. It successfully hunts kangaroos as well as running down sheep and cattle. For this reason in the state of Queensland a fence 3000 miles long has been erected to try and keep it out. Most famous for taking and reportedly eating baby Azaria Chamberlain in the late 70's as portrayed in the Meryl Streep movie 'A Cry in the Dark' . The dingo has recently started to attack and kill humans again posing clashing cries of destruction and conservation. Rob has his own dingoes DNA tested for purity and lineage knowing the killer instinct lies deep within.

Crocodiles


Crocodiles The crocodilian is a much-maligned reptile feared by humans more through ignorance than reason. Rob Bredl understands them; he was raised alongside them in the crocodile infested wetlands of Australia and now breeds and cares for many crocs that are big man-eaters. You will enter the crocodile's and alligator's hunting grounds& see them wait patiently in silence& then strike with lightning speed and crushing force. Rob utilizes the crocodile's instincts to predict their behavior. He proves that humans can live with these rulers of the waterways provided we respect the single-minded response of the prehistoric crocodilian mind; the Killer Instinct.

Saltwater Crocodiles


Saltwater Crocodiles Startling insights to the crocodilian's arsenal of senses and killing power from the man who loves them and knows them best, Rob Bredl. We travel with Rob as he meets up with traditional owners and operators of the Edward River Crocodile Farm that Rob helped establish in 1971& now it's managed by twelve aboriginal tribes. Rob spent ten years with the community, so his return to the Edward River is a kind of homecoming to his place of learning and growth as an animal handler and lover. Rob gives us the saltwater crocodile in detail, its biology and physiology, the cycle from birth to death. His insights paint the picture of a creature that is not only built to kill but built to survive through the ages.

Australian Pythons


Australian Pythons Pythons are relatively primitive and were some of the first snakes to evolve. Rob Bredl makes a study of the snakes that branded Australia 'The land of the Pythons'. In all sizes and colors, Rob really gets into a 'pet' topic of his and drapes himself with these big guns of the snake world. From 50 centimeters to 6 meters, they are all constrictors and use this as their means of killing prey. Rob takes us to an annual bat migration where Children's pythons find plenty of prey... he takes to the trees to find the beautiful green python and even a type named after Rob Bredl's famous snake expert father, the 'Bredlii'. Rob searches for answers as to why they are one of the only predators with colour vision and how they have adapted so well to a harsh environment. He shows us how the Python uses both his scent sense to find rodent tracks and follow them all the way the burrow & and when the python will use his infra red sensing abilities in tandem with this sense of smell to track down birds in trees.

Lizards


Lizards From the furtive movements of the tiniest of the species to the lumbering motion of the massive Komodo Dragon, lizards can evoke a fear that ripples down our spine knowing their minds are cool with a single purpose& to survive at your cost if necessary. Rob Bredl brings new understanding to the Komodo Dragons, the largest monitor on earth, and compares them with their Australian cousins the goannas. He also introduces us to the perentie, known by the Australian Aboriginal people as the 'Land Crocodile'. Rob gleefully gets his hands on some serious lizards surviving in extreme environments on pure killer instinct.

Spiders


Spiders Spiders; one of the greatest fear-inducing creatures& even a shadow of a spider evokes caution and loathing. But Rob Bredl only sees their cunning, agility and intelligence as great hunters. You will enter the world of venomous spiders, as Rob introduces you to the hairiest, deadliest and most aggressive spiders that hunt their prey like miniature lions. You'll meet the damaged human survivors of spider attacks and how to avoid being bitten in the first place. Get uncomfortably close to Funnel Webs, massive Bird Eating Spiders, White Tails, Tarantulas, Red Backs/Black Widows, Scorpions and more& and you'll discover when you've got poison in your fangs this deadly - size doesn't matter.

Ocean Venom


Ocean Venom These innocent looking and often, pretty ocean dwellers have frighteningly powerful toxins to inject into their victims. From blue ringed octopus, box jellyfish, sea wasps, stonefish and cone shells to the headline making, deadly irukandji, Rob Bredl goes offshore to find out why such potent venoms are needed to kill small prey fish when merely brushing against an irukandji 'jellyfish' can bring excruciating pain and inevitable death to innocent human swimmers. On Australia's magnificent beaches these guys are the worst ambassadors you could ask for & but which is the deadliest to humans and why has it developed such a powerful arsenal? Rob pulls on his flippers and drifts with these killers for the answers.

Sharks and Killer Whales


Sharks and killer whales Sharks first appeared in the Earth's oceans about 350 million years ago, long before dinosaurs ever roamed the Earth. Host, Rob Bredl will dive to get you 'nose to jaws' with these highly adaptable predators of the sea. The program explores the evolution of the shark and the place it holds in many cultures. You will be introduced to a number of the 360 species of sharks that inhabit the world's oceans; top of the list is the most feared and misunderstood shark of all, the Great White and we interview the few lucky surviving victims. Also examined is the Orca, 'Killer Whale', as the top predator in the ocean. Making even the Great White Shark part of their diet keeps them on top. Much like packs of wolves, killer whales often hunt together to capture their prey. Rob gets wet and wild diving and surviving when there's blood in the water.

Aggressive Predators


Aggressive Predators Strange, vicious little creatures with Dracula-like teeth & really bad attitudes because aggression is a major key to survival. Don' t let the size fool you - they can pack a whole lot of punch for their size. Rob Bredl introduces us to Numbats, Dunnarts, Quolls, Phascogales, Planigales and Antechinus. These amazing little animals feature high aggression matched only by their metabolic rates. Hunting and stalking their prey is like watching a top African predator hunt& only in fast forward motion. Rob shows us their needle-like fangs and ponders their roots in a harsh land where once their prehistoric ancestors where lumbering giants compared with their modern, high speed counterparts. Rob also searches for answers of the extinct 'Marsupial Lion' being compared to the saber-toothed tiger, and if it is somehow linked to a mystery of Yeti-Proportion that has been lurking the Australian bush for close to a century.

And while listening to its beautiful song, discover the grisly details of how the Butcherbird gets it's name.

Big Cats


Big Cats The Ultimate Stalkers - They may look like enormous versions of domestic pets but lions and tigers of the world are no "pussy cats". They are ruthless and successful carnivores of the highest order and they kill to eat. Rob Bredl takes you to see how lions and cheetahs stalk African plains. Then even in the darkest moments of survival you will appreciate the agility of the Californian cougar as it pounces from above. There are times when big cats include human flesh on their menu and survivors of attacks give their remarkable stories. We look back at the extraordinary and famous attacks at Tsavo in Kenya where 140 workers lost their lives to two marauding male lions…an event which inspired the movie “Ghost In The Darkness”. We visit the Chicago Field Museum where answers are sought staring into the glassy eyes of the responsible killers now preserved forever in infamy. Rob speaks with global experts to examine the behaviour of these perfect predators as they hunt, kill and survive.
