The Secret Life of Snakes

They are among the most hated and feared animals on the planet - only few people recognize their beauty. This documentary features some of Europe's most stunning species, like the European adder, the nose-horned viper, the dice snake, the ringed snake and the Aesculapian snake. So watch out next time you're walking in the park. After a winter safe in burrows, sometimes in bundles of hundreds, the spring's warmth brings them back to life.

So watch out next time you’re walking in the park…

Gorgona, a remote Colombian island, has a dark secret. It's a natural fortress, surrounded by shark-infested seas, blanketed in impenetrable jungle and teaming with deadly snakes.
