Little Giants
Channel: Discovery Channel (DStv 121)
TX Time: 21h55
Genre: Wildlife
When it comes to power and strength in the animal world, size doesn't always matter.
The most powerful and awe-inspiring creatures are the elusive micro-monsters that exist just beneath our feet.
They rule their environments with an array of supernatural weapons, from shape shifting their bodies to shooting toxic blood from their eyes.
In this series, animal expert Bradley Trevor Grieve and bioengineer Billy Almon venture to some of the most remote and inhospitable habitats on Earth to track down and capture these tiny beasts.
Using high tech equipment, they measure these creatures' abilities and use CGI to see if they could compete with the most formidable predators on the planet.
They then flip the rules of the natural world by imagining just how powerful these little giants could be if they were supersized and let loose in our world.
It's an action-packed search for the toughest pint-sized creatures in their natural habitats.
