The Delivery Man S37E03 - Lizard Kings
S37E03 Lizard Kings
Episode Overview
Despite their dragon-like appearance and fearsome reputation for breathing fire and devouring humans, these creatures are actually monitor lizards—the largest lizards on Earth. Possessing remarkable intelligence, including the ability to plan ahead, they defy typical reptile stereotypes and blur the line with mammals. Though virtually unchanged since the dinosaur era, they thrive as highly adaptable survivors in diverse environments. "Lizard Kings" explores what makes these forked-tongued reptiles so mammal-like and uniquely resilient. Yet, locating them proves challenging; solitary and perpetually vigilant, they detect threats from hundreds of feet away. NOVA joins expert lizard hunter Dr. Eric Pianka as he tracks these elusive creatures across Australia's outback using innovative "lizard cam" technology, offering an unprecedented glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary "living dragons."
