Snake hunter and scientist Mark O'Shea faces an unusual challenge. He has to venture into elephant seal and penguin colonies in search of the southernmost venomous snake n the Americas.

It is not an easy task: sightings of the Patagonian Lancehead have been reported just twice in the last thirty years and O'Shea has only one week to find it. As usual, Mark turns up plenty of snakes. But will he find his quarry?

Yumm... first find the food. Patagonian lanceheads hunt lizards, so find one and you'll find the other. So the theory goes. If only it had been that easy.
