GATOR DOC prowls the Everglades at night with biologist Brady Barr in search of a living dinosaur: the American alligator. Barr tracks down alligators after dark, finds them with a searchlight, and wrestles them onto his airboat. Then the real fun begins. To understand why alligators in the Everglades are smaller than their relatives throughout the South, Barr pumps the stomach of every alligator he catches to see what they're eating - and how human impact on the Everglades is affecting the king of the swamp.
