About the Show
Open the Crocodile Hunter Diaries

If you want to know what Steve and Terri's lives are really like, then you won't want to miss The Crocodile Hunter Diaries. This series is about their life behind the scenes at the Australia Zoo.

You get to meet the rest of the Australia Zoo staff and see their amazing animal adventures. Australia Zoo's vets perform some incredible operations, as they treat the wildest, most outrageous animals on the planet — everything from a snapping alligator turtle with a sore foot to a black swan that needs a life-saving tracheotomy. The zoo's animal-rescue unit takes part in some of the most dramatic animal emergencies — if it's Australian, if it's dangerous, venomous or if it bites, it'll be rescued from a house, a shed or someone's back yard. Australia Zoo is much more than just a zoo; it's an environmental facility where the staff are absolutely committed to wildlife conservation.

In every episode there's extreme danger, such as raiding the nests of female crocodiles and taking the eggs for incubation or sneaking an egg clutch from one of the world's biggest or most venomous snakes. Every day of the year staff deal with the wildest animal maintenance jobs on earth, including the world's most dangerous lawn-moving job — inside the crocodile enclosures.

Australia Zoo is a human and animal family. Enjoy their sense of humor, admire their bravery, share their feelings and see the unexpected hazards as Steve, Terri and the rest of the staff care for the zoo's 500 animals.

Steve talks about the show.
