Ray visits Australia, where people, even in suburbs, have to cohabit with dangerously close wildlife. His special attention goes to the crocodiles, as even these very deadly dinosaur age monsters are now fully protected, yet ironically under threat like many native species from an infestation with unwisely imported, highly poisonous cane toads.

In his latest episode he visits Tasmania, the island south of Australia made famous by the Cook expedition. As he explains, the land once famous for its legends of howling banshees and dangerous tigers is now struggling to maintain much of its native flora and fauna. Much of his story tells of the island's animal's plight from the now extinct Tasmanian Tiger to the critically endangered Tasmanian devil, which is suffering an epidemic from deadly facial tumour disease, a rare contagious cancer.
