Jack travels into the rainforests of northeast Queensland, Australia for a first-hand look at animals, birds, reptiles and giant bugs. Near Mission Beach, Jack tracks down strange looking cassowaries, large flightless birds left over from the Age Of The Dinosaurs. Among his experiences on Dunk Island, Jack finds himself captivated by a night tiger tree snake, a huge spider and the curious behavior of green ants. Before leaving the area, Jack also learns more about the aboriginal culture that has coexisted with the creatures of the rainforest for thousands of years.
