Hollywood Safari — Season 1, Episode 12: Extinct
60 min • 1 season, 22 episodes
Episode synopsis
An allegedly extinct jaguar from Arizona has been spotted in the park, a development that quickly sparks a frenzy among recreational hunters. Drawn by the news, they flood the park intent on poaching the rare animal. Among them is Lang, a particularly unsavory hunter with a notorious past—one that includes being captured by Troy years ago. Determined and ruthless, Lang sets traps all over the area and ultimately manages to ensnare Troy in one of them. Now immobilized, Troy can only hope that his loyal horse, Flame, will find help. Meanwhile, Josh and Loretta are out on a motorcycle ride when they come across a puma trapped and prepared for transport. Acting quickly, they take matters into their own hands, stealing the truck and bringing the injured animal home to administer first aid.
About Hollywood Safari
Troy Johnson works as a park ranger in the mountains of California. But besides his work in the nature park, which involves preserving the beauty of the mountains and keeping a watchful eye on visitors, Troy has another job: Together with his wife Jayne and their children Josh and Peter, the Johnsons train a wide variety of animals, some of them quite exotic, for Hollywood productions. They are supported not only by Greg Nickels, but also by their monkey Plato and their dog Muddy.
