Plot Synopsis

CROC CATCHERS is a reality series that follows five members of the Crocodile Management Unit, which manages the continent's population of Saltwater Crocodiles in Australia's Northern Territory. Australia's Salties are big, brash, fast and capable of consuming any animals that enter their territory, including humans. On the break of extinction as recently as the 1970s, these animals have bounced back to number great thanks to conservation measures. Now, with over 100,000 of them in Northern Territory alone, managing their numbers is a full-time job for these three men and two women, including: leader tommy, who has 31 years of experience and two fewer fingers to show for it; a new recruit, Rachel, who is an animal lover unable to believe some people would prefer that crocs be shot; and Danielle, Joey and Robbie. Nat Geo Wild aired the U.S. premiere of this series on Monday, May 13, 2013 at 10pm ET.
