The show is decent but most of the staff don't know much about the animals they work with. The very first episode in the first season says it all. The keep of the venomous snakes was saying the baby vipers they had, had laid eggs and they had to incubate them. Fun fact vipers don't lay eggs and u don't incubate them...they give live birth, so how could the keeper incubate them?

This show is great! I wish there for more animals, including the capybara, the black footed cat, tasmanian devil, or the rock hyrax!
