Utah resident Jim Dix has turned his home into a Noah's Ark with 550 animals living in his house and yard. For Jim, his venomous snakes, deadly spiders, coyotes, toads and alligators are his children, but the Utah Department of Transportation is putting a freeway through his neighborhood, forcing him to move. Will Jim find a new home for his very large family?
