Searching for Lizards After Dark with Jordon King

32m 21s

Ecologist Jordon King has traded in Miami night clubs for herping in the Everglades after dark! He takes Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant searching for reptiles and amphibians in the wild, and introduces her to the world of herpetology, the science devoted to studying these creatures. As they venture into the wetlands after dark, they discover a side of the Everglades that often goes unnoticed.
