What do you do when you land in the water at night, a croc is thrashing nearby, and there’s a python in your lap? If you're Steve and Terri Irwin, apparently you just keep going.

In Episode 2 of CrikeyCast, we finish the second half of the original Crocodile Hunter pilot—and it’s complete mayhem. Crocs are saved, pigs are sacrificed, and one very angry 10-foot mama crocodile is relocated with pure grit, teamwork, and a lot of mud.

This episode dives into:

• Wrestling crocs in the dark with a single flashlight

• Using wild pigs as live bait (yes, that happens)

• A tree branch breaking and dumping Terri into croc-infested waters

• A snake falling into the boat at the worst possible time

• And somehow, Suey the dog still makes it out alive

Steve and Terri push themselves to the edge of danger not for spectacle, but for protection—of animals, land, and life. It’s chaos with a cause. It’s also one of the most intense and absurd episodes of wildlife television ever filmed.
