The Coming Storm

First thing in the morning trouble is already brewing. Ed sends Rey and Steve to look for dangerous Asian water buffalo who appear to have entered the visitor's area when a gate along the security fence is left open, and dispatches Shea, Matt and Lawrence to move an aggressive, pregnant female gator out of the pond in the park and back into the wild so she can lay her nest. However, nothing goes smoothly for the guys who are all vying to call the shots. This fiasco brings veteran gator man Paul Simmons to Safari to train Matt on handling gators Billie Swamp style. Senior staff meets to discuss emergency protocol as Tropical Storm Bonnie heads towards Safari. The storm hits, but fortunately leaves virtually no damage. Rey and Hans begin falconry lessons to teach a red-tail hawk that was injured how to hunt and Shea unexpectedly gives his two weeks notice.
