In "River Monsters" Season 2 on Animal Planet, viewers will take a dive into another terrific seven episodes.
In "River Monsters" Season 1, extreme angler and biologist Jeremy Wade searched the world for legendary and flesh-eating freshwater fish with the debut of "River Monsters" on Animal Planet, pulling in monster-sized ratings. From tiny piranha that can tear apart humans in the Amazon to large killer catfish in India that feed on dead bodies, Jeremy has seen it all…or has he? The first season
last spring pulled in an average of more than a million households (1.05M) across its seven premiere episodes, making it the best-performing series in network history. The series averaged more than 1.4M P2+ viewers.
In "River Monsters" Season 2, Jeremy travels to Southeast Asia to track what's thought to be the largest freshwater fish – the giant freshwater stingray. Also known locally as the "wish-you-were-dead" fish, this UFO-shaped marine monstrosity is said to measure about 16-feet long and seven-feet across and is approximately 1,300 pounds. But what's really killer is that it's got an 18-inch barbed, bayonet-like tail that could whip extremely painful venom through an unfortunate passerby—though that doesn't stop Jeremy from hunting this mysterious monster.
Jeremy's adventures will continue to take him all over the world to solve freshwater fish mysteries in such locations as the Congo, Thailand, South Africa, Uganda, Ethiopia, Alaska and even Florida to try to capture some amazing creatures and tell their tales. There's the freshwater fish that can grow as long as a whale, a species of shark that lives in fresh water 100 miles from the sea, and a fish with teeth as big as a lion's as well as other creatures and moments captured on film for the first time.
But what would stop Jeremy's quest to solve these enigmas? Viewers must tune in each week to find out if there's any mission he's not willing to take. This season, expect to be reeled in as Jeremy tries to prove the authenticity of Alaska's native legendary monster that's fabled to drag people from their boats into an icy grave. Ride along as Jeremy "wades" through the Zambezi River for the bull shark and travels to Southeast Asia for the giant snakehead and to the Congo River for the goliath tiger fish.
