The remote islands of Brazil's Atlantic coast are the hiding place of some of the Earth's most unique creatures. For reptile hunter and scientist, Mark O'Shea, these lost worlds are gateways to adventure and discovery. There is only one place where the Golden Lancehead is found... Quemada Grande off the the Sao Paulo coast. Even getting to this island is a challenge, let alone studying the most venomous snake in the Americas. |
