The Biggest Lizard In The World: Searching for the 13-Foot Tree Crocodile

In the humid, remote forests of Raja Ampat, a legend stalks the canopy. While the Komodo Dragon is the world's heaviest lizard, the elusive Tree Crocodile is rumored to reach lengths of over 13 feet, potentially making it the longest lizard on the planet. Zoologists Thomas Schultz and Mark Strickson trek through malaria-prone jungles and mangrove swamps to find proof of this giant's existence. Along the way, they encounter deadly venomous snakes, massive pythons, and rare marsupials that call these vanishing rainforests home. The mission is more than just a search for a predator; it is a race to document a species that could protect this entire ecosystem from the threat of logging. Witness the moment the team finally comes face-to-face with the "Star Lizard" and see how this agile predator has adapted to life high above the forest floor.
