This week’s episode covers everything from the grim legacy of racist alligator myths to actual gator attacks, pet alligators ordered through the mail, and that one time a gator rang a doorbell in Florida. You’ll learn why the myth of sewer gators exists (and how Eleanor the Nile crocodile ended up beneath Paris), what black caimans are capable of (spoiler: it’s a lot), and how to keep your pets and kids safe near freshwater.

Plus: the heartbreaking story of little Lane Graves at Disney World, a dive into crocodilian blood research, and a look at how these apex predators interact with the world around them, especially when humans get too close.
