A global expedition to spotlight the astonishing abilities of tiny animals begins in the Mexican desert as Bradley Trevor Greive and Billy Almon track down and test the jaw-dropping, almost supernatural abilities of the giant horned lizard.

The team heads to Madagascar to study the recently discovered Goodman's mouse lemur - one of the smallest primates on the planet. This velvet pinball makes up for its tiny size with its incredible agility, breakneck speed and startling ferocity.

The team scours the Sonoran Desert for North America's mightiest mouse: the carnivorous grasshopper mouse. An impressive vertical leap, size-defying bite, and bone-shaking howl allow this rodent to transform into a vicious scorpion killer at night.

Bradley and Billy are hunting for dragons deep in the Thailand rainforest. The flying dragon rules the jungle canopy, and the team hope to discover how the lizard's ability to glide has enabled it to dominate its environment for 250 million years.

After a harrowing search in a South African cave, the team tracks down the elusive, spine-chilling tailless whip scorpion. When they test its lethal attributes, they quickly discover that this supreme nocturnal predator is a real life nightmare.

Deep in the jungles of Madagascar, Bradley and Billy discover a creature unlike anything else on Earth: the tomato frog. In their mobile lab, they discover the frog's astonishing abilities, from a toxic force field to a self-inflating body.

Bradley and Billy travel to New Mexico to track down the Giant Sonoran Centipede. This little giant measures up to 8 inches in the wild and with 23 pairs of legs can travel at speed. Not known to be deadly to man it certainly is a terror to its natural prey with its venom injecting claws.

This time Bradley and Billy head to South Africa on the hunt for the Armadillo Girdled Lizard. This lizard lives in the Great Karoo Desert of Africa and survives one of the harshest environments on the earth. This little lizard has thrived for millions of years as it is perfectly adapted in this ecosystem.

Our intrepid team is off to the Mohave Desert of California on the trail of the Bombadier Beetle. These little ground beetles are best known for the defense mechanism that gives them their descriptive name. When disturbed, they eject a hot noxious chemical spray from the tip of the abdomen with a popping sound.

Bradley and Billy are heading off to Southern California on a rescue mission to find an Australian marsupial, a Sugar Glider that has lost its way.

"Little Giants" takes us to Mpumalanga in South Africa on the hunt for the Cape Mole-Rat. Measuring only 18 cm from nose to tail, these little rodents live in underground burrows. They are highly aggressive to their own species outside the mating season and use their large front incisors to scare off rivals and predators.

Our intrepid explorers are off to the jungles of Madagascar in search of the mighty Panther Chameleon. A rainforest ninja, this lizard hides in plain sight.. Insects beware.

Bradley and Billy are in the forest of eastern Madagascar on the hunt for the tiny Lowland Streaked Tenrec. This little creature, measuring little more than 5 inches, is well protected with spines. It hunts day and night on the forest floor looking for earthworms and other invertebrates.

This time our intrepid team are off to Mexico hunting through the thorn forest of Yucatan looking for a spiny tailed creature, the spiny-tailed iguana. This little giant measures in at 12.5 centimeters and is well equipped to look after itself with a row of spines down its tail.

This time it's the rhinoceros beetle in Thailand that interests our intrepid duo. Pound for pound, this could be the strongest creature on earth. Adults of some species can lift objects 850 times their weight. The name comes from the horns borne by the males and are used for jousting with other males. These little giants are among the largest beetles but fortunately for us, they cannot bite or sting.

Our team is off to Phanom in Thailand this time searching for the Asian Musk Shrew. These little shrews are very small and vary in size between 100 and 150 mm including the tail. Testing of this little giant shows a bite force of 1.5 pounds. Given that the shrew weighs only 1.5 ounces this means that the bite force is 16 times the body weight.

This time we are off to Nevada on the hunt for the Camel Spider. This arachnid, sometimes called a wind scorpion, is neither a true spider nor a scorpion. Only 6 inches long, they a voracious feeders and prey on termites, darkling beetles and other ground dwelling insects. This little giant has been known to feed on snakes, small lizards, birds and rodents. They do not normally attack humans, but when they do, their bite can be extremely painful.

Our intrepid duo are in the rainforest of southern Thailand this time seeking the Tokay Gecko. This armoured gecko lives in the trees and is generally aggressive, territorial and can inflict a strong bite. The team test the bite force of this little giant.

This time the guys are heading to Mozambique where they are investigating the Devil Flower Mantis. It lives up to its Latin name of idolomantis diabolica as it lies in wait for its prey, perfectly mimicking the flower on which it sits. Its objective is to seduce the insect into its striking zone, which it catches with a lightning strike of its front legs. The strike speed and strength of this little giant is tested by Bradley and Billy.

This time Bradley and Billy are in Laos on the hunt for the most deadly poisonous newt on the planet, the crocodile newt. This little giant has powerful jaws, a reinforced skull and spines. It is virtually indestructible and regrows severed limbs and tail, plus it has poisonous barbs running the length of its body.
