One of the world's most dangerous reptiles may be lurking nearby, ready to strike without warning. From finger-thin vipers to nine-foot bushmasters, they can kill within minutes. In Indonesia, a 300-pound komodo dragon emerges from the forest and silently prowls where children are busy at play. In a village in Thailand, a nest of cobras lies hidden among sacks of grain. When a young mother comes to gather rice for her family, the result is nearly fatal. Witness these and other harrowing true-life human encounters with nature's silent killers. But beware, a quiet hiss could be the last thing you hear.
