Join host Jeff Corwin on an exploration of North America’s most remarkable reptiles. First, Jeff visits Florida to explore how a nuclear power plant is helping provide needed habitat for the American crocodile. Next, Jeff uncovers the slithering secrets of the Eastern indigo snake, the largest non-venomous snake on the continent. Later, Jeff travels to the marshy shores of Massachusetts to help conservationists save a species of turtle that’s captured the affection of an entire community. Video Transcript: Jeff Corwin: Today on Wildlife Nation... Jeff Corwin: You're going back home. Elizabeth Fleming: Absolutely. Jeff Corwin: We're exploring Florida to see some remarkable reptiles... Jeff Corwin: What? Speaker: Over there, over there. Jeff Corwin: I don't even think it sees us. Jeff Corwin: We'll help the conservation efforts of South Florida's great apex reptilian predator... Speaker: So we know  if there's more crocodiles that the rest of the ecosystem is doing well. Jeff Corwin: You'll discover the largest non-venomous snake in North America. Jeff Corwin: It's got that smile that only an indigo could give you. Those beautiful eyes. Jeff Corwin: And we'll release a precious loggerhead sea turtle back to the wild where she belongs. Jeff Corwin: Whitney does it ever get old? Whitney: It never gets old. Jeff Corwin: I'm Jeff Corwin, and I've teamed up with Defenders of Wildlife to celebrate the awesome  creatures of North America and the dedicated conservationists working to protect them. And you're invited to join the adventure. This is Wildlife Nation.

Join host Jeff Corwin on an adventure to the beaches of southern Florida to uncover the challenges facing sea turtles locally and around the world. Working with dedicated conservationists, including Defenders of Wildlife staff, Jeff helps a team of biologists care for sick and injured turtles that are ready to return to the ocean. To learn more about the wildlife featured in the episode, visit www.defenders.org/wildlifenation Video Transcript: Jeff Corwin: So friends, my mentor, Dr. John Jahoda from Bridgewater State University, once told me, "If you ever have a job Jeff, have a job you love." And this reminds me why  I love my job. It's moments like this through the heartache, through the trials, you get that moment of triumph. And I imagine for you, Elizabeth, this is pretty special. Elizabeth Fleming: This is awesome. Jeff Corwin: This is why we all do what we do. Elizabeth Fleming: This is phenomenal. Jeff Corwin: What do you think, Whitney? You think these turtles are hankering to get back in the ocean? Whitney Crowder: I think they are ready to go home. Jeff Corwin: Are you ready? Elizabeth? Elizabeth Fleming: I'm ready. Speaker 4: Here? Elizabeth Fleming: Uh-oh. She's- Jeff Corwin: You got it good? Speaker 4: You're good. Elizabeth Fleming:  I'm going to cry. I'm just glad, to be this big she's really had to withstand so many things. Speaker 4: She sure has. The odds were not in her favor to get this big at all. Elizabeth Fleming: I'm so glad to see this animal get back to the ocean. Jeff Corwin: Now it's our turn. We get to do this. Whitney Crowder: We do. Jeff Corwin: Whitney does it ever get old? Whitney Crowder: It never gets old.  It's honestly just a feeling of pride to be able  to release these turtles back out to the ocean. Jeff Corwin: The loggerhead doesn't go into the surf alone she travels with incredible state of the art technology. So we will be her electronic guardian angel for many months to come. Whitney Crowder: Hopefully. Jeff Corwin: All right, shall we do this? Whitney Crowder: We shall. Jeff Corwin: All right. Whitney Crowder: All right. You ready? Jeff Corwin: Yep. That was awesome. Thanks Whitney. Whitney Crowder: Thank you. Jeff Corwin: Remember, conservation takes action. Volunteer in your community. Enjoy your local environment and defend wildlife the best way you can.
