A Living Dinosaur: On the Hunt in West Africa

Season:CORE

Brand:National Book Network

Code:9781789046564

On the Hunt in West Africa follows Pat Spain, an inexperienced but enthusiastic traveler and wildlife biologist.

This series documents the first shoot of his new National Geographic TV series in Cameroon, the Congo, and the Central African Republic. He was told it would be his “trial by fire” for the world of wildlife TV, and soon finds that to be literally true after his decrepit pick-up truck catches fire while doing 161km/h (100 MPH) on a dirt road.

Things only get more uncomfortable for Pat as he experiences the wildlife (getting charged by a silverback gorilla and having a killer bee land on his exposed penis), the food (eating rat and face-meltingly hot peppers), and some local traditions (he's almost arrested, accidentally married, and inadvertently invites an evil forest spirit to live in the Pygmy village he's staying in). He somehow manages (in his mind, at least) to solve the mystery of Mokele M'Bembe - a supposed living dinosaur in the riverways connecting these three countries.
