In season 2 episode 24 of The Wildlife Docs, titled "Tooth or Hare," viewers will follow the team of veterinarians at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay as they attend to their furry and feathered patients. From a hare who needs a dental procedure to a feisty alligator who needs a check-up, the team is faced with a variety of challenges that require their expert care.

The episode begins with a bunny named Lola who has a problem with her teeth. Lola's owner brought her to the park's animal care center after noticing that she was having trouble eating. The team quickly diagnoses her with overgrown teeth, a common issue in rabbits. The veterinarians use a tool called a dental burr to grind down Lola's teeth and bring them back to the proper length.

Next, viewers will meet a group of alligators that live in the park's swamp. The team has to monitor the alligators' health and behavior to make sure they are thriving in their environment. They also have to make sure that the alligator populations don't become too large and threaten the other wildlife in the area. The vets tranquilize one of the larger alligators so they can perform a full physical examination. They also take blood samples to check for any potential health issues.

Later in the episode, the team gets a call about a turtle who was hit by a car. The turtle, named Shelly, has a shell fracture and needs surgery to repair it. The veterinarians perform the surgery and then provide Shelly with a special brace to help her heal. After a few weeks of rest and rehabilitation, Shelly is released back into the wild.

The episode also features a young cheetah named Kasi who is going through a juvenile training program. Kasi is learning how to run, jump, and climb so that he can be confident in his abilities when he is released into the wild. The veterinarians monitor Kasi's progress and provide him with routine check-ups to ensure he is healthy and progressing as expected.

Overall, "Tooth or Hare" is a heartwarming and educational episode of The Wildlife Docs that showcases the incredible work that the Busch Gardens Tampa Bay veterinarians do every day to keep their animal patients healthy and happy. Viewers will be inspired by the dedication and compassion of the veterinary team as they care for animals big and small.
