MUMBAI: Infotainment broadcaster Discovery will kick off a new season of the show ‘Swamp Brothers‘ from 1 August.
The show will air Monday to Friday at 10 pm with a repeat next day at 10:30 am.
The show is about Robbie and Stephen Keszey who run their family business that is uniquely suited for the swamp ? where wild animals rule.
The Keszeys risk their lives on a daily basis working with wild and dangerous animals deep in the swamps of Florida. Robbie is a veteran of the ‘80s metal scene who is passionate about all things scaly, and Stephen is a former New York City bartender who is more comfortable hailing a cab than handling a snake. They encounter everything from pythons and gators to bobcats and black bears
They run Glades Herp Farms, Florida?s largest reptile sanctuary and exotic reptile dealership. Their farm also houses Florida?s International Teaching Zoo, which is full of rare species from around the globe and brings in a constant stream of new and different animals each month.
In each episode, the brothers put themselves on the line to protect the most unusual of creatures ? from venomous snakes to aggressive crocodilians.
Each episode takes viewers to the wet and wild world of Florida swamps, forests and waterways where dangerous animals breed out of control and are increasingly finding their way into the backyards, cul-de-sacs, and neighbourhood ponds of suburban Florida. When this happens, Robbie and Stephen are just about the only two guys in the entire state with the expertise to deal with the problem.
From pythons to exotic gators, the brothers make it their business to track these beasts down, capture them and return them to a safe environment ? without losing life or limb in the process.
