“This is the scene everyone will remember,” is how the director described the bullet-ant ceremony moments before Pat Spain took his place in the line of initiates. If online views, memes, family parties, and talk-show mentions are the measure, he wasn't wrong. The Tucandeira ceremony of the Sateré-Mawé is known as the most extreme ritual in the world, and Pat agrees with that assessment wholeheartedly. After hosting hundreds of hours of wildlife-adventure TV programs, Pat is no stranger to the pain animals can inflict, but the bullet ants took this to an entirely new level. On the Hunt in Brazil is an unblinking look into Pat's journey through Amazonia with a National Geographic film crew, attempting to uncover the truth behind the mythical mapinguari - a giant one eyed monster who can kill you with a scream. Over the course of two weeks, Pat participates in the Tucandeira, smuggles weapons on an aircraft, accidentally exposes himself to old people, learns that Brazil's sexy reputation is well deserved, and hears an ancient legend, never before shared with a Westerner, that points him towards a conclusion about the mapinguari and a surprising explanation for the seemingly tall-tales.

Pat Spain is a wildlife biologist, cryptozoologist, biotech expert, TV presenter, key-note speaker, author, and cancer survivor with a passion for adventure. He is always enthusiastically seeking his next great escapade, and the opportunity to add to the ever-growing list of “things that have bitten or stung me”. As the great-nephew of the "Prophet of the Unexplained" Charles Fort, Pat is carrying on a family tradition by questioning mainstream science, considering unusual explanations for bizarre phenomena, and investigating those things most people write off as impossible.

In the course of his journeys, Pat has been charged by a silverback gorilla, initiated into a remote Amazonian tribe by participating in the most extreme ceremony in the world, been 1,000 feet under the ocean in a three-man-sub, nearly been shot down in a helicopter, lain in a pit of 200,000 snakes, and spent up to 19 hours a day inside a sterile bubble running experiments in a space suit in a state-of-the-art biotech lab.

Millions have witnessed Pat’s exploits on Animal Planet’s KOTJ2, Nat Geo’s Beast Hunter, and Travel Channel’s Legend Hunter. He has also served as keynote speaker at the Royal Geographical Society in London, NASA, and multiple international universities. Pat currently lives just north of Boston with his wife, two kids, and an ever-expanding menagerie of creatures.

Really fun read. The book wasn't very long, it maybe only took a couple hours to finish, but worth the price. I'll be ordering the rest of the series.
