Animal Cops Houston returns for another season to follow the work of the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

Animal Planet cameras follow the team each step of the way: from the initial investigation and rescue, through court cases and medical rehabilitation and, in most cases, adoption to loving homes.

In this new season: the cruelty investigators combine forces with Texas state police officers in an attempt to shut down one of the biggest dog fighting rings in American history.

Also, they battle to save a neglected horse and rescue a desperate kitten which appears trapped on a busy freeway bridge, 80 feet above ground.



Into The Dragon's Lair
Premiere date: Wednesday, 21 July 2010 at 21h00

Underwater cameraman Didier Noirot and environmental photographer Roger Horrocks embark on dangerous journey in Into the Dragon's Lair.

The pair have decided to explore the 100-metre-deep papyrus caves of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, getting up close with one of nature’s most fearsome predators – the Nile crocodile.

Didier and Roger set out to understand and document the underwater behaviour of these dangerous reptiles, while at the same time exploring the fears and fascination that humans have with them.

The two aim to confront ultimate nightmares and transform them into scientific understanding and beauty.
