Episode 1

In an adrenaline-fueled encounter Steve gets closer than even he would have imagined when he helps capture and re-home a number of huge problem crocs. Some of the crocs are man-eaters so It's not for the faint hearted, but allows Steve unprecedented hands-on access to show us just what makes crocs such ultimate predators.

With the aid of a thermal device Steve sees first-hand how the crocodiles use the sun to warm up and are able to regulate their temperature by a technique known as "gaping". When filming from the air with the camera drone the team accidentally stumble across poachers illegally fishing. They are able to alert the rangers who swing into action, highlighting the threat the crocodiles and the other wildlife in the area are under.

An exhilarating and at the same time charming nighttime excursion sees Steve capture a yearling croc: a fully formed miniature of the huge, ultimate predator it will one day become…
