Join Russell Kane as he places another critter into the moral spotlight and asks: is it genius? Or a bitey bastard? Long of snout and short of leg, this giant terror is more snappy than a hungover politician and has a taste for flesh. It can sneakily swim right up to you without you knowing, but also makes a great parent. Today we're putting Swim Shady - aka the Crocodile - in the dock. Russell's joined by top comedian Peter Rethinasamy and the Natural History Museum's brilliant Merit Researcher, Dr. Natalie Cooper. Will they deem Bite Tyson a submerged menace? Or a Swamp Superhero? You and your ears will have to listen to find out. Written by: Eve Delaney, Ruth Huskisson and Christina Riggs. Additional material: Angela Channell, Adrian Gray and Catherine Beazley. Researcher: Catherine Beazley Sound Recordist: Dom Boucher Digital Editor: Jerry Peal Production Coordinator: Liz Tuohy Executive Producer: Paul Smith Producer: Simon Nicholls Evil Animals with Russell Kane is a BBC Studios production for BBC Sounds.
