be thrilled about. it's not like she's wrest. ing alligators -- oh, wait. that's exactly what she's doing. one of many now pushing the limits with potentially dangerous animals. but is it even more dangerous and unfair to the gators? here's abc's gloria riviera. >> reporter: martha rivera calls herself a mini van mom with a twist. soccer mom by day, alligator wrestler by night? >> yes. >> reporter: that twist, something a lot of people are paying to see. >> if she misses up, her face will come off. >> reporter: martha is an alligator wrestler, performing even at seven months pregnant. >> i love it. this is going to be one of my last shows, because i'm due in six weeks. >> reporter: before baby arrives, martha's invited us to watch as she attempts a new stunt for the first time. the shock value of seeing an exper tant mother wrestling alligators only adding to the

draw. gave formania going far beyond the sunshine state. shows from "swamp people." >> oh, my god! >> reporter: to "gator boys." >> that head can slam shut at any moment. that gator gets ahold of you and shakes, your neck is going to snap. >> reporter: are giving alligators their day in the sun. but with gator shows seemingly advertised off every exit on the highway, tourists want to see something more exciting than a gator in a cage. are you the alligator whisperer? >> some people have said it. >> reporter: chris traveling the state showing off what he can do at various parks. and is known for his fierce skills. chris' secret is taming these animals by keeping his cool attitude and patience. >> if i get bit doing that, it's because i'm doing it. i went in there and i'm trying to interact with the animal, which is inherently dangerous. >> reporter: chris is so confident, he gets in zill a's

cage. yeah, zilla. this is a totally different scenario. you can feel the tension. chris is calm, but that animal is completely tense. one of his trade secrets is approaching the gator head on, because that's a gator's blind spot. i got to think the other soccer moms are asking you, is this safe? >> it is safe if you know what you're doing. >> reporter: so, you feel even pregnant, seven months pregnant, getting in that pool -- >> yes. >> reporter: martha is a volunteer at everglades outpost, an animal sanctuary where she performs for tips. owner bob has been running this park for more than 20 years. >> we started in 1988, we needed to make it a nonprofit organization. >> reporter: bob has seen the growing appetite for animal shows, which means pushing the limits. you stretch it to the limit, but that's the dangerous part? >> that is the dangerous part. i mean, putting your hand in

their mouth, putting your head in their mouth. >> reporter: the crowd loves it. >> the crowd loves it and especially if you are working for tips. >> reporter: just four years ago, even bob pushed it too far, performing with zilla, a gator he neweknew well, when the jaws locked onto his shoulder for three minutes. bob told us he was in excruciating pain, but he knew he had to keep calm. >> i have to try to -- >> reporter: finally, an assistant prying him free. is this safe? >> if it is done correctly, it is safe. >> reporter: martha has no fear. her new stunt, she'll kiss an alligator on the lips. >> it's adrenaline. you're sitting there staring at this animal knowing if you make a mistake, it's going to be your fault. another part of it is, educating the public. >> reporter: alligator populations are thriving in florida. just last year, 8,000 were forcibly removed from personal

property. so, your mission is to rescue these animals that are mistreated, abandoned, injured. >> that's it. >> reporter: alligator parks like everglades are also sanctuaries and say they rescue animals that people would otherwise kill. but animal activists say in an industry that is not heavily regulat regulated, the conditions at some wildlife exhibits can be dangerous and sometimes cool. >> it's bullying. these people are restraining alligators, they're tying their mouths shut and they are forcing them to engage in this unnatural behavior. >> reporter: across town at the soccer field, that unassuming mom has a big day ahead. so, you have the mini van. >> yes. >> reporter: you have the soccer practice, the home work. >> all that. parent-teacher conferences. >> reporter: along with her husband, jeffrey, they volunteer a few days aweek at bob's everglades outpost.

her son thinks it's cool. but her mom? your mom knows you're pregnant and she knows you wrestle. >> she doesn't know that the two have combined. >> reporter: she doesn't know you're still doing it. >> no. >> reporter: in just a few hours, she'll be performing her final alligator show before maternity leave. >> how are the alligators looking today? >> well, the pit looks great. these alligators are wild. but they know that we use them. >> a lot of alligators in florida. florida is the only place in the world to have both alligators and crocodiles. >> reporter: a small crowd gathers to watch her extreme stunt. the changers are ever present on martha's mind. >> i have to go in with bob or jeff or tim. if it's not one of those, i won't go in. i need to know they're going to do whatever it takes, if i get bitten, to make sure that i'm as safe as possible. >> this alligator is named

casper. casper had a white tip to him due to a vitamin deficiency. >> it's amazing. >> reporter: she gets into the water and comes face to face with the wild animal. >> she's pregnant and she's going to get in there swimming with them? that's crazy. >> reporter: finally, martha, for the very first time, goes in even closer for what's called a full frontal. and she seals it with a kiss. a success. >> it was amazing. >> reporter: and one expectant mom riding an adrenaline high. >> it's so much fun. who wouldn't want to is a wrong question. >> reporter: right. plenty of people would not want to. for in unt"nightline," i'm glor riviera in homestead, florida. next, jennifer garner's revealing her new alias. plus, table flips won't fly in prison. so, what's life behind bars going to be like for this real

housewife of new jersey? my antidepressant worked hard to help with my depression. but sometimes, i still struggled to get going, even get through the day. so i was honest with my doctor. i told him i'd been feeling stuck for a long time. he said that for some people, an antidepressant alone only helps so much and suggested we add abilify (aripiprazole). he said that by taking both, some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. i wish i'd talked to my doctor sooner. [ female announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles and confusion to address a possible life-threatening condition. or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. other risks include increased cholesterol, weight gain, decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious,

dizziness on standing, seizures, trouble swallowing and impaired judgment or motor skills. [ terri ] since adding abilify, i feel better. abilify and my antidepressant make a pretty good team. [ female announcer ] ask your doctor about a free trial of abilify and go to addabilify.com. for new nestlé© toll houser ask your doctor about a free trial of abilify delightfulls morsels, the chocolate you know and love now filled with caramel, peanut butter, cherry, and mint. so peanut butter up some brownies. and caramel-ify those chocolate chip cookies with new nestlé© toll house delightfulls. bake some love™ the setting is perfect. you know what? plenty of guys have this issue, not just getting an erection, but keeping it. well, viagra helps guys with ed get and keep an erection. and you only take it when you need it. good to know, right? if ed is stopping what you started...

from an alias to daredevil, jennifer garner's fought plenty of foes. but in her new film, she takes on an enemy every parent fears. the internet. her character following her child's every move online. so, what happens in her real home with her real famous husband, ben affleck? tonight, garner tells my "nightline" co-anchor juju chang. >> reporter: she's one half of one of the coolest power couples in all of hollywood. >> i'm going to take the

challenge, i'm going to make a donation. >> reporter: happy to play a supporting role for her husband ben affleck's ice bucket challenge. >> the lady with the bucket. >> reporter: theirs is a seemingly happy family. having fallen in love on the set of "daredevil," facing off against each other. jen went toe to toe with her husband to be. >> i didn't kill your father. >> liar. >> reporter: and acs acid sydne bristow on "al yas." she takes on the internet in her next film. >> i do this to keep you safe. >> whatever. >> reporter: from sexting to porn, the web can be a scary place, as the real life mom of three young kids knows. >> you think this is funny? dtf. i know what that means. >> reporter: i had to google

dtf. >> i looked it all up. >> reporter: it's scary. >> or p.o.s., parents over the shoulder. that freaks me out. i think of my 8-year-old and 5-year-old daughters and i can't bear for that to be their reality, because it wasn't mine. >> reporter: she's getting a chance to flex her internet parenting skills as the hyper helicopter mom in "men, women and children." >> i want to give you a pam differe threat about the dangers of selfies. she thinks the internet is evil. >> reporter: garner's character reads all of her daughter's texts, even deleting objectionable ones. >> my mom deleted it before i saw it. >> how often as a mom have you had those moments where you think that you're going to protect your kid and at the end of the day, you realize, oh, i actually made it harder for them. >> reporter: the script is making garner confront issues

she hopes are still years ago. >> the only thick that's dangerous in this house, mom, is you. >> reporter: would you characterize your parents as strict or lenient? >> both. >> reporter: both. >> i think both. >> reporter: do you have in your mind a policy about technology with your kids? >> i'm not there yet. you know, what's going to happen the day one of my children googles themselves? they're going to be totally and completely shocked. so, i want to make sure i'm there for that. >> reporter: and, says garner, her sidekick in life gives a lot of thought as his role as daddy. >> he is the yin to my yang. i'm sure his opinion will be, look, we need to let them screw up and explore and have these experiences and we just need to be there to catch them, where as i might be a little more like, nope, not yet, not yet. >> reporter: there's usually one parent that's the bad guy. i'm definitely the bad guy. >> i'm the bad guy. >> reporter: she's taken a hard line, trying to protect her kids,ch thing along with halle berry before the california state assembly.

>> every day, there are as many as 15 cars of photographers waiting outside our home. >> reporter: you've been quite an activist when it comes to shielding your kids from undue sort of paparazzi and exposure. >> it was completely ridiculous. and anyone that saw me walking on the street with my kids would say to me, i had no idea this is what it looked like. there would be 15 men backing up in front of us everywhere we went, all the time. >> reporter: she's trying hard to be a hands-on mom, and balance a career in show business. while her husband is starring in "gone girl," the biggest blockbuster of the moment, and is about to don that bat suit, she admits to carefully choosing smaller roles with big impacts for the sake of her kids. >> i don't do a film unless it is something i truly can't say no to. because i ask a lot of my family when i go to work. our jobs do involve travel and our jobs mean missing bedtime and home work and there's no woe is me here. i still have the best mom job in

the world. >> reporter: this is her second film by jason wrightman, who also directed garner in "juno." >> can i feel it? >> are you kidding? >> reporter: this movie features young stars falling in love. and there's veteran stars falling out of love, like adam sandler. all aided and abetted by the internet. >> last time was after that barbecue at your sister's. >> okay, fine. we'll do it tomorrow. it's got to be quick. >> does social media make us better or worse? is it evil? and the truth is, it's neither. it's a curiosity box. it somehow reveals the best and worst of under the circumstances. >> reporter: these long-standing human foibles are added and abetted by sites like ashley madison, which caters to married cheaters.

>> it's not something celebry tips use. >> reporter: i bet not. yeah, if you go to ashley madison, there might be some red flags. the movie explores the challenges of parenting in a digit digitalage. a reality reitman says is unkashu unchartered territory. >> to presume you can govern your child's internet use is foolish. >> reporter: to make the digital world come to life, reitman projects phone and computer screens right onto the silver screen. >> it wouldn't work anymore to do, you know, think back to "you've got mail" and you would watch tom hanks or meg ryan typing and they would be, like, kind of mouthing along. and then you would cut to the screen. now, you just see it all at the same time. it's seamless. >> reporter: garner says her own childhood was relatively drama free. a far cry of those coaching of age today. you said you grew up a half step from amish? >> yeah, my parents were very --

i didn't notice they were strict, but they were. >> reporter: you werebzz able t stay young and innocent. how do we do that in a digital age? >> maybe amish isn't such a bad idea. >> reporter: for "nightline," i'm juju change in new york city. next, reality star teresa giudice speaking out about preparing for prison. can she cut it behind bars? >> i'll do fine. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.
