Discovery Channels Venom Hunters Debuts in the Middle East on July 12

Did you understand that anti-venom supplies are dwindling every year and demand for snake venom is at an all-time high? There's increasing pressure on the experts to gather the highly toxic liquid.

New Discovery Channel series 'VENOM HUNTERS' follows 4 teams of specialist snake hunters as they travel the world searching for the deadliest snakes known to man. While each hunter prospers on the excitement of the chase, they all share the same supreme objective - saving the lives of others. From the Florida swamplands and the plains of Oklahoma, to the Australian outback and Arizona desert, the teams risk their lives with every action. And with over 600 species of venomous snakes worldwide, one wrong move could truly be their last.

Every year, venomous snakes eliminate over 100,000 individuals and hospitalize thousands more. Regardless of these shocking statistics, venom is also used to save lives in the production of anti-venom and in cutting-edge medical research research. Watch as these venom hunters collect the deadly hazardous liquid that can conserve numerous lives.

VENOM HUNTERS premieres on Discovery Channel on Tuesday, 12 July at 21:50 KSA. Available on OSN channel 500 in the Entertainment Extra, Gold, Pehla Prime and OSN Pinoy Plus Extra packages..
