Returning: Outback Wrangler

Outback Wrangler Matt Wright, who recently featured on 60 Minutes, returns for a second season of his factual series on National Geographic.

In the 8 episodes, Wright uses his chopper to rescue and relocates saltwater crocodiles in the Northern Territory.

Australia’s far north is a place where danger and beauty collide. It’s also where Matt Wright, a helicopter pilot turned animal wrangler, goes to work.

Raised in the Aussie bush, Matt has made it his mission to keep the animals, locals and environment out of danger, by relocating wildlife in the Northern Territory.

Matt uses his trusty helicopter to transport and catch animals, making manoeuvres worthy of any Hollywood stuntman.

Over eight brand-new episodes, Matt is joined by his long time mates John ‘Jono’ Brown, Chris ‘Willow’ Wilson and his canine companion Naish. Together they relocate dozens of crocs, including the biggest Matt has ever caught.

With big machinery, airboats, helicopters and a new croc-catching tool, the harpoon, the action never stops in this breath-taking rumble in the jungle.

Episode 1: Big Croc
Matt gets a call from some fishermen who report a large croc is menacing them down on the river. Matt gives Willow and Johno a call and they set a trap. But nobody guessed how big this croc is and a battle ensues between the Outback’s legendary croc catcher and one very big crocodile.

Tuesdays at 8.30pm from 17 November on National Geographic Channel.
