GATOR BOYS: Paul Bedard and Jimmy Riffle are eady to ring in the New Year with a batch of 10 all-new episodes of "Gator Boys" on Animal Planet.

The series follows the men and women of Gator Boys Alligator Rescue as they capture wild alligators using their bare hands, and swim with them unprotected in the Florida waters. When the show returns at 8 p.m. on Sunday, the gators may be winning the battle as the current team is spread too thin.

Before the first episode, Animal Planet will run "Gator Boys: Deadliest Catches" a 7 p.m.

"There’s no question it takes serious guts and determination to do what the ‘Gator Boys’ do," the show reported in a release.

"Paul is known for his commanding personality and unmatched skill capturing any-sized gator underwater. And Jimmy has been gator wrestling since the age of 11, giving him the ability to stay quick on his feet and handle dangerous reptiles with ease.

"Past seasons have proven that Paul and Jimmy rarely see eye-to-eye on anything other than saving alligators and are constantly at odds. Nothing’s changed. In fact, matters are complicated when Jimmy decides to jump headfirst into the restaurant business, not realizing the enormity of the task at hand or that Paul will be left picking up his slack. Together, they must come up with a way to keep Gator Boys Alligator Rescue running smoothly, and still find the time to pursue their other interests."
