In his other "Dangerous Encounters" episodes, which will be shown throughout January, Barr looks at giant salamanders, which can measure up to 5 feet long and weigh 100 pounds.
"They are critically endangered, barely hanging on to existence," he said.
Barr also returns to the cave in Indonesia where last year he was bitten by a 12-foot reticulated python just below his rear end. What could possibly compel him to return after wading through 10 inches of bat guano in the spooky, cockroach-infested cave and then having a python sink its fangs into you?
"I had to go back to finish what we started," he said.
And, of course, it makes fabulous TV.
This trip was not without incident either. Barr was put in the hospital again after venturing into the cave a second time, but not because of a snake bite.
"I had fungus in my lungs and horrible parasitic worms in my body," he said.
Does any animal get to Barr -- could he do without kittens, or perhaps he hates bunnies?
"You know what gives me the creeps? Bats. Bats kind of freak me out."
