Plot Synopsis

Using eye-witness accounts, victim statements, expert opinion and scientific facts, 72 DANGEROUS ANIMALS: LATIN AMERICA is a 12-episode documentary series that counts down the powerful cats, indestructible arachnids, flesh-melting pit vipers, and many more creatures that are found throughout Latin America. From the harsh Mexican desert, to the panoramic Andean mountains and deep within the volatile Amazon jungle, this series ranks each animal on a danger scale. Frogs with toxins 200 times more potent than morphine; serpents with venom that melts human flesh; seemingly immortal scorpions capable of surviving nuclear blasts; and mosquitos with a deathly sting -- all are investigated and ranked. On Friday, December 22, 2017 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Netflix released the entire 12-episode series.
