After the sun sets, specialized predators emerge to take advantage of cooler temperatures to feed through the night, from lizards that swim under the sand to spiders that run ten miles an hour.

"Night of the Living Dead" (10pm): As the sun falls on the island of Java the denizens of this jungle metropolis are on edge. Nowhere is safe. Just before darkness swallows daylight, the night stalkers of Indonesia awaken with a lust for blood. Bats that eat 6,000 insects a night, baby pythons, and a fish that can crawl on land.
