Episodes to know about
A large crocodile is a central threat in the premiere; sets the template for big-creature encounters that recur throughout the series.
A character must be rescued from inside an active volcano swarming with giant fire ants; the most enclosed and pressured rescue of the early episodes.
The kids discover that discovered treasure belongs to a large, toothy underwater creature; younger children who find sea monsters unsettling may want a grown-up nearby.
