Take a cup of Erma Bombeck, a tablespoon of Crocodile Dundee, and a pinch of Lenny Bruce and you have the recipe for some wild animal (and human) adventures. Grabbing her snare pole, snake grabber, bear spray and unique ingenuity, Chris responds to some pretty bizarrre calls with sometimes surprising outcomes.
