First thing in the morning trouble is already brewing. Ed sends Rey and Steve to look for dangerous Asian water buffalo who appear to have entered the visitor's area when a gate along the security fence is left open, and dispatches Shea, Matt and Lawrence to move an aggressive, pregnant female gator out of the pond in the park and back into the wild so she can lay her nest.
However, nothing goes smoothly for the guys who are all vying to call the shots. Senior staff meets to discuss emergency protocol as Tropical Storm Bonnie heads towards Safari. The storm hits, but fortunately leaves virtually no damage. Rey and Hans begin falconry lessons to teach a red-tail hawk that was injured how to hunt and Shea unexpectedly gives his two weeks notice.
That day has finally come and now the guys face the daunting task of removing these dangerous reptiles from their habitat. Each croc poses its own unique challenge, but the most dangerous reptile Ed's team will face is a pound alligator that climbed into the exhibit and now rules the roost. Once the reptiles are moved, Ed plans to retrofit the habitat for a group of captive nuisance gators being held on the other side of the park.
Across the park Rey and his wife Tatika have their hands full caring for a cute orphaned wild piglet. With each day, the piglet has grown larger and is now presenting a danger to the park guests. Ed knows how attached Rey and Tatika have become to the pig but, after a rough encounter between the wild pig one of the park's employees, Ed faces the tough decision of having to release the animal into the wild.
The staff of Billie Swamp Safari has a lot of work and danger in front of them as they try and corral 50 of the overpopulated bison to move to a ranch in northern Florida then search for injured animals while a forest fire ravages the adjacent Seminole cultural area. Shea is super busy catching a diamondback rattlesnake, heading out with Matt and tribesman Billy Walker to learn the traditional way Seminoles catch garfish, an important job in their culture, and veteran gator handler Paul Simmons comes to train him how to safely catch gators in deep water.
While Paul is visiting he is able to save some baby alligators and Lawrence from a muddy irrigation ditch. Finally, to thank them for their hard work Ed holds a frog leg eating contest for Shea, John, Jason, Raymond and Matt which has been creating a lot of smack talk between the guys. The winner, John, gets a crown and the loser, Jason, has to do housekeeping for a week.
After catching a 4-foot nuisance gator from the park's popular airboat dock; Park Director Ed Woods makes a shocking discovery: this problematic gator is an "escapee" from the park's fenced-in boardwalk area nicknamed "Alcatraz.
Ed meets up with Steve, the maintenance supervisor, to figure out where their security breeches are along Alcatraz's fence line.
The guys stumble upon an active gator nest. After enlisting the help of Matt, a park staffer, several gator eggs are taken to the park's herpetarium for incubation. Later, Matt, Shea, and Lawrence release a clutch of baby alligators that were rescued from last year from Trump, a huge bull gator that had been eating its own young.
After successfully raising the hatchlings the guys proudly bring them to the wild swamp, but with larger gators lurking nearby the release turns deadly. Billy Walker and his cousin Cory lead a roundup of bison for the annual festival, the Green Corn Dance, a sacred tradition for the Seminoles.
