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.

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.
