Mireya's on a treasure hunt to find as much wildlife as possible and even hopes to confirm a rumor about an unexpected urban invader-a feral hog. We'll follow as she searches through parks, swamps and city streets to find New Orleans's wildest animals-including large invasive rodents called nutria that have been devouring the New Orleans ecosystem. She goes on a late-night escapade with a city-hired hog-hunting squad to catch hogs in a central New Orleans park, and eats bayou food including frogs and bugs ... local style! Mireya later meets up with Ken Brown and Claudia Riegel, from the City of New Orleans Termite Control Board, who give her an inside look at mammoth colonies threatening some New Orleans landmarks. And she explores a cemetery, where she discovers wildlife between the tombs and has an unsettling encounter with a large feral hog. Written by
