Nature's Biggest Beasts
The world's biggest beasts have always captured the imagination. But whilst being big can have its advantages, it also comes with sizeable challenges. Take the world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon, whose huge appetite means it must take on prey ten times its weight, or the tallest animal of them all - the giraffe - who, with such a long neck, must control immense blood pressure. Nature's biggest beasts must go to extraordinary lengths to thrive.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

This is a re-edit of one of my sequences - they are definitely freshwater crocs. Definitely Australia. The smell of 300,000 fruit bats is still burned into my nostrils.

They're really a very sweet species of bat. I watch a channel with a woman who rescues them after accidents. Mrs Batzilla. Mostly it's the orphaned babies who she gets in. They're just like flying fruit eating puppies. I'm glad most of these river-dipping guys survived. 💖
