Ants and Anacondas
with Max Robertson and Elisabeth Robertson.

At the end of their journey up the Demerara River Max and Elisabeth reach Mackenzie, the bauxite town. From there they fly out over the jungle to visit the fabulous Kaieteur Falls, more than four times as high as Niagara. On a jungle trail they watch a procession of leaf-cutting ants at work and then return to Georgetown, where, at the Zoo, an anaconda snake is let loose.
Introduced by Max and Elisabeth Robertson.
