A man in a long-sleeved cotton shirt, blue jeans and hiking boots is making his way through a cave in Indonesia. A film crew is recording him. Even in the light of the cameras, it's still too dark to see inside the cave. Then, suddenly, a giant python attacks the man, wraps itself around his legs and sinks its huge teeth into him. For most people, this is too scary. But for Brady Barr it's all part of a day's work.

Brady Barr is an American herpetologist. He studies snakes, crocodiles, lizards and other reptiles. He is currently filming wildlife documentaries about the world's largest and scariest reptiles. After capturing them, Brady takes blood and tissue samples to analyse them and then he releases the animals back into their natural habitat.

Brady knows very well that the animals he meets are very dangerous. This is why he is always extra careful with them. His adventures in the wild keep millions of viewers glued to their TV screens. Brady admits that filming his show keeps him so busy that he doesn't always have enough time to do the necessary follow-up studies. For this reason, he works with a team of scientists who continue the work and publish the results of his research. As for retirement, the Gator Doc - the 'alligator doctor' as they call him - says: " don't know how much longer I can keep on doing this work. The snakes and crocs are getting younger and faster!"
