Extended Scenes of Beast Man

Screencap from the episode.

On the American National Geographic website, there are a number of behind-the-scenes and extended videos from Beast Man, "Nightmare of the Amazon". None of them are the deleted scenes that can be read in the script, but they are interesting, and offer more information. There are also a number of videos of scenes which can be watched in the episode. I have left these out.

The first set of videos is a three-video series showing behind-the-scenes footage of Pat 6 hours, 24 hoursm and immedeately after the bullet ant trial. The first video shows that a number of parts were left out of the final version of the trial's aftermath. The second shows that, six hours after the trial, Pat still has his hands in the ice water bucket, and is only just becoming lucid again. In the third and final video, he reveals he had had his hands in the water for fourteen hours, and the pain is not going down, even after twenty-four hours. He's even suffering from mild PTSD.


There's an extended version of the interview with James Bickersteth, the sound recordist who heard the supposed Mapinguari call with Pat. He is rather disturbed by the response, and zig zags between thinking the call could have been a Mapinguari, and thinking there may be another explanation. Apparently, some of the crew suggested the call may have been a leopard.

Finally, there's a short video of Pat using a metal hat with a candle inside it to demonstrate how biologists operated in the dark before the invention of the headlamp.
