Wrangling snakes is more art than science, and the stakes are high. Get ready to go hand-to-scale and face-to-fang with cold-blooded killers.

Some you see and some you don't, but they all have eight legs and bulging eyeballs. This is a nightmare of the arachnid kind.

In the animal kingdom, females are tough, feisty and fearless. But these lady-killers don't just get by on their good looks; they use their paws, claws and jaws to ensure survival – for themselves and their offspring. From the fierce protectiveness of a mama grizzly bear, to the cunning teamwork employed by lady lions – this hour of WORLD'S DEADLIEST is dedicated to the KILLER BITCHES.
