艾德．伍兹和他的员工为数千苹野生动物打造一个家园。

The Florida Everglades are notorious for swamps and subtropical wetlands where animals like crocodiles, alligators, and bison run wild. At the heart of this ecosystem is Billie Swamp Safari, a 2,200-acre fenced-in animal park that is run by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. This month, National Geographic Channel goes behind the scenes with Ed Woods, the park's director, and his employees on Swamp Men 2.
At Billie Swamp Safari, it seems that every day brings new challenges to the people that work there. In the corner of the park for nuisance gators called Alcatraz, Woods finds out that Chubbs, the park's most dangerous gator, has escaped. He has to find Chubbs and where the hole in the fence around Alcatraz is. Woods and his team patch the fence and secure the area. They then make every effort to get Chubbs back in captivity and make the swamp a little safer.
Swamp animals aren't the only things that cause Woods headaches. Before Memorial Day, one of the busiest times of the year, he must deal with something smaller but no less dangerous. In the chickees, which are traditional tribal huts that guests can rent for overnight stays, there is a huge bee problem. The crew must figure out a way to extract a swarm of tens of thousands of bees from the chickees before the guests arrive. Whether alligators need to be moved or bison corralled to another farm, there is never a dull moment on Swamp Men 2.

沼泽动物乐园 2
艾德．伍兹和他的员工为数千苹野生动物打造一个家园。
佛罗里达大沼泽以其沼泽和亚热带湿地而闻名，

里头栖息的动物包括四处横行的长吻鳄、短吻鳄和野牛。四周有围栏、占地 2,200 英亩的比利沼泽野生动物园是这个生态系统的中心，由塞米诺尔原始部落所经营。这个月，国家地理频道将在《沼泽动物乐园 2》节目中，随同动物园主人艾德．伍兹及其员工幕後直击这座沼泽野生动物园。
对在那里工作的人来说，比利沼泽野生动物园似乎每天都有新的挑战。动物园有一处叫做『恶魔岛』的角落住著讨人厌的短吻鳄，而伍兹发现园区里最危险的短吻鳄 Chubbs 落跑了。他必须找到 Chubbs 以及恶魔岛四周的围篱哪里有破洞。伍兹和他的团队修补好围篱，保卫了该区的安全，然後费了九牛二虎之力把 Chubbs 抓回来关，才使得这片沼泽稍微安全了一点。
让伍兹伤脑筋的不只是沼泽动物。美国阵亡将士纪念日的前夕是一年当中最忙的时刻之一，伍兹必须处理一起体积虽小但同样危险的状况。棕榈叶顶棚屋是租给旅客过夜的传统式部落小屋，那里出现了一个很大的蜜蜂危机。工作团队在旅客抵达前必须想办法摘除顶棚屋中有上万苹蜜蜂的蜂窝。无论是迁移短吻鳄，或是把野牛赶进另一座农场，《沼泽动物乐园 2》节目保证绝无冷场。
