Overview

The creator uses a greenscreen format to tell the surprising story of how a nuclear power plant in Miami helped save the American crocodile population by providing a warm, protected habitat in its cooling canals. He explains the history of the crocodiles moving in and the power company's efforts to protect them, ultimately leading to their removal from the endangered species list, before ending with a call to action to follow his water filtration business.
