Episode 5: The Giant White Goliath Beetle

The kids in Cameroon, Africa give Dom a warm welcome!

Giant Goliath beetles feed on tree sap and fruit in Africa's tropical forests.

The assassin bug injects a lethal saliva into its prey, which liquifies the prey's insides.

All tarantulas are venomous, however their bite is not known to be deadly to humans.

Female tarantulas can live over 30 years in the wild, much longer than male tarantuals, which have a 5 to 10-year lifespan.

The giant millipede can grow up to 10 inches in length, with 400 legs.

Fossil evidence suggests that millipedes were the first animal to breathe air, moving from water to land.

Dom handles a huge frog species known as the Goliath frog.

The Goliath frog is extremely rare, found only in a few remote locations, including Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.

Forest cobras use a neotoxin to incapacitate and kill their prey.

Dom takes a closer look at the southern four horned chameleon's claws.

Native to Africa, the giant white Goliath beetle is one of the largest insects on Earth.

Like all beetles, Goliath beetles have a pair of reinforced wings, which protect a secondary pair of wings used for flying.
