Florida’s Fourth Estate: Gatorland helps News 6 anchors get up close and personal with wildlife

Gatorland expert educates anchors on gators, snakes

ORLANDO, Fla. – This week on “Florida’s Fourth Estate,” News 6 anchors Matt Austin and Ginger Gadsden explore Florida’s vigorous wildlife population with a little help from a local expert.

Brandon Fisher, from Gatorland, stops by to talk to the anchors about gators and snakes.

In Austin’s own words, here’s how this week’s episode goes down:

“Two scaly critters arrive in the podcast studio. We get an up-close look at a 3-foot alligator and a reticulated python. Before getting hands-on with the reptiles, we introduce you to a “Floridiot” who was trying to make fun of the cops. We also feature a pizza vending machine and an explosive find on the beach."

Learn a little and laugh a lot during this week’s episode of “Florida’s Fourth Estate.”
