MAN-EATING MONSTER
GUYANA – Lau-Lau (Piraiba)
All over the Amazon, biologist and freshwater detective, Jeremy Wade has heard stories of a monster fish that grows so large, it’s said to swallow men whole. Locals call it the lau-lau but after 20 years of searching, from Peru to Brazil and Colombia, the evidence Jeremy needs - a single colossal specimen, stills eludes him. Now though, he’s discovered a secret, untouched location deep in Guyana’s remote rainforests where he suspects they may be thriving. Imbedding himself in the wild jungle, this time it’s different: he’s not coming back until he catches it.
