Product Description
From Amazon.com
What's great about the rumpled, khaki-clad team of Steve and Terri Irwin, hosts of The Crocodile Hunter, is their complete lack of pretense. Make no mistake: Steve is a goofball, prone to pronouncements ("By crikey!") that plant him squarely, cartoonishly, in his native outback, but he clears through the TV muck quickly, plopping his big-eyed persona behind him to deliver his points on the ABCs of wildlife. Mostly, it's the C's the Irwins dwell on, as they do here. "How to Catch a Crocodile" is a croc conservationist's field guide, broken down into two lessons. First up is a primer on nabbing the big fellas, which goes something like this: set up a heavily reinforced mesh net in the croc's best-loved sunning spot and get the heck out of Dodge. Then there's the method for snagging the under-six-footers, which makes for considerably more compelling viewing. Here, Steve and Terri leap out of a paddle boat after dark and wrangle a red-eyed bugger--one who turns out to be bigger and more "naughty" than Steve expected--to the riverbank, where they pounce atop her back and blindfold her for transport to a more croc-friendly habitat. "Charlie" dips into more of the same, but its focus is fixed on the namesake croc, a humongous beast who's been confined to a concrete pit all his life and bears bedsore-like wounds on his claws and belly to show for it. These are the sort of episodes that Crocodile Hunter fans find irresistible--gritty, swampy shows, as solidly action-packed as they are chirpily educational, just right for couch-bound adventurers looking for something to sink their teeth into, so to speak. --Tammy La Gorce
From the Back Cover
Crocs rule! And they're ferocious little beauties, as you'll see when Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin takes you on two wild adventures down under. Whoa! Check this out!
Charlie - Charlie, a large aggressive crocodile, has been kept in a concrete pen all of his life. He bears the psychological scars of a crocodile that has grown up in confined conditions. Steve, Terri and their team rescue and relocate Charlie to the Australia Zoo. In his new habitat, Charlie becomes a very unpredictable "naughty" crocodile.
How to Catch a Crocodile - Danger, Danger, Danger! Steve shows some of the different trapping, netting and lassoing techniques he uses to relocate crocodiles in the wild and at Australia Zoo.

Danger,Danger,Danger,
By Susan White (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Croc Files: Charlie & How to Catch (VHS Tape)
Warning:Danger,Danger,Danger, only watch this video if you are looking for extreme "Action". Steve and Terri Irwin once again bring our hearts to a stop as they work hands on with the crocs to keep them safe. See Steves daring "croc" rescues as he risks his own life for thiers. As the mother of 6 young children I truly reccommend this (and any) of the Crocodile Hunter videos,especially for families to watch together....
