Crocodiles

Join Russell Kane as he places another critter into the moral spotlight and asks: is it genius? Or a bitey bastard?

Long of snout and short of leg, this giant terror is more snappy than a hungover politician and has a taste for flesh. It can sneakily swim right up to you without you knowing, but also makes a great parent. Today we're putting Swim Shady - aka the Crocodile - in the dock.

Russell's joined by top comedian Peter Rethinasamy and the Natural History Museum's brilliant Merit Researcher, Dr. Natalie Cooper.

Will they deem Bite Tyson a submerged menace? Or a Swamp Superhero? You and your ears will have to listen to find out.
