They aren’t afraid to get into the nitty-gritty to rescue raccoons, beavers, skunks, and more. When the rescue begins, you never know what wild antics will happen next, and this spunky crew wouldn’t change it for anything in the world.

Follow the Wildlife Command Center team as they travel across the country to save wildlife (by hand)! Whether it's an extremely venomous snake, a call about a coyote in a house, or the search for a skunk in a scrap yard filled with hot tubs — the team is ready to take on it all.

Throughout the episode, we'll tour the Rescue headquarters in St. Louis, which has become a rehabilitation facility and forever home for several rescued animals like Tarzan the Brazilian porcupine and Tyson the red kangaroo. There's even a pair of mischevious lemurs!
