(Dramatic Music) - Brave Wilderness has become culturally synonymous withanimal bites and stings. (dog growling) In the name of science and entertainment I've taken on my fair shareof painful encounters, but some bites are far too dangerous when it comes to human trial. So that is where technology comes in. We have teamed up withOhio HD, one of the Midwest premier production houses. Renowned for their arsenalof high end equipment they're considered expertsin executing creative ideas with specialized solutions.
And today we are combining our talents to bring you into the Strike Zone. On this episode we're going to take you into the slow motion strike zone of the panther chameleon, the Pacman frog and alligator snapping turtle. To capture these predator strikes we'll be using a phantom high speed camera capable of capturing1000 frames per second and full 4K resolution. Then, by slowing down the footage, we'll be able to closelyanalyze and break down why these strikes are so effective and ultimately beat them. - Hey, that was sweet. - Also joining our party is the Bolt high speed Cinebot whichcan go from standstill to high speed motion ina fraction of a second. Yeah, it's a robot witha camera for a head that can move faster than a human.
Trust me, I was just asimpressed as you are. Now before we enter the Strike Zone first, let me introduce ourfearless wildlife experts, Mario Aldecoa and Mike Easter. They will help to insurethat everything goes according to plan. Remember, safety forthe animals and our crew is always the number one priority. There you have it. The cast of characters is set. So if you guys are ready,let the strikes begin. So the panther chameleon isnow up and on to its perch. We've placed a couple ofroaches on the other branches. Now it's just a matter of sitting back, waiting, letting patience draw itself out and eventually we'regonna get the strikes. Now, if Gilbert doesn't decide to eat the roach naturally off of the branch, we do have a second trick up our sleeve which is actually holding the roach in a pair of large feeding tongs.
Look how he sits there. Man, I just love theway that those eyes move from side to side, honin' in, oh Gilbert, you're so close. Yes, yes, that was a strike, right? (cheering) And now the momentyou've been waiting for. It's time to enter the Strike Zone. (upbeat music) Okay, here we go. This is the first replay, chameleon in super slow motion about to eat a roach. Oh, come on. That tongue's comin' out. Oh, that roach has no chance. - [Group] Oh, nice, yes. - We got the shot, got the shot. Yes chameleon eating in slow motion. Wow. I'm watchin' the tongue retract back into the mouth with the roach. That is an impressive shot right there. Chameleons are lethal predators. Their vision is impeccable and each eye can rotate independently of the other allowing the reptile to transition between monocular and binocular vision when identifying prey.
Combined together, a chameleon's eyes are able to perceive a 360degree view of the environment. But this animal's most effective weapon is its tongue, which in many cases can be twice the length of its total body. The tongue's firing mechanism is powered by coils of accelerator muscles and it's the contraction of these muscles that blast the tongue forward with remarkable precision. A ballistic tongue, nowthat is a deadly weapon. So Mario, what's the goal here? We've got a white flat platform. We've got a very powerfulslow motion phantom camera and who's coming up nextonto the turn table? - Bringing a big Pacman frog on the table who is hungry for some breakfast. Hopefully he's gonna snatch up a mealworm in slow motion.- Take a look at this guy.
He's so chunky. And cute. - He's albino. - Is he really? - Yeah, he's unique. Normally they're actually kind of like a greenish brown color. But this is a genetic mutation. - Wow, he looks just like Pacman. That couldn't be any more perfect. Now, the frog is going to see the movement of the mealworm and that'swhat's gonna trigger him to have a feedingresponse and actually lunge forward and grab it. - Oh. That was incredible. Prepare to have your mind boggled. We're about to enter the Strike Zone. - Oh, he got it. There it is. - Yes, yes. - Dude, that was sweet. - Oh, that's crazy. - I think I like it in reverse. - In reverse is better, right. - Yeah. - Oh man, watching it in reverse is almost cooler thanwatching it in forward motion.
Have you ever seen a Pacman frog puke up a mealworm?? In the wild camouflageserves these predators best and the name of the game is ambush. Just the slightest movement will catch the attention of this frog and provoke a strike. As the amphibian launches forward the mouth opens and deploysa large sticky tongue that aids in the captureof its desired victim. There's no escaping this fleshy death trap and if you find yourself stuck you are most certainlygoing to be swallowed alive. All right, we are officially moving on to our next animal, which things are gonna geta little bit more dangerous.
I believe next we're going to bring in something called the creepy hand, which is a latex rubberhandd we're gonna actually insert into the mouth of analligator snapping turtle. Now I know you guys always love seeing me bitten by things, but today for this episode we are going to show you what it's like to have analligator snapping turtle chomp down on a latex hand, creepy hand. Do you think it's actually gonna chomp and cut through fingers. I don't know. Quite possibly, stay tuned. That's comin' up next. So, it's not the biggestalligator snapping turtle in the world, but sizedoesn't always matter when it comes to getting your fingers stuck in the mouth of a turtle's jaws.
