Reptile expert Dr. Brady Barr is the first person ever to capture and study all 23 species of crocodilians in the wild.
What has driven Barr for 15 years, through 50 countries is a desire to save these crocs in the wild. At present, nearly one third of all croc species are considered endangered. One of the 23 species he has captured, the wild Siamese crocodile was thought to be functionally extinct in the wild.
