13.01.2022 Trying to speak to camera & not get eaten at the same time, there’s a few things going through my head at this point in time! But seriously I love these huge reptiles and love working with them, you can see more of it during the US Premier of Season 4 of Monster Croc Wrangler on NatGeo Wild on August 5th as part of Croc Week. It’s definitely our best season yet

11.01.2022 Hey guys, just a quick update on the Michelin Croc in Indonesia!! We have been talking closely with Indonesian government officials in including the Ministry for Forestry and associated local organisations. Due to crocodile commitments in Northern Territory Australia I haven’t been able to get over to Jakarta this week but am flying over this Saturday to see how we can help and be of assistance. We’ll be able to develop a cracken plan over the coming week once we’ve s...een what environmental challenges we have to over come in this area. I’m super excited to be working with the teams on the ground in Indonesia to safely catch this animal. Unfortunately, we have heard of a couple of rouge outfits who haven’t gone through the respectful and appropriate channels are already on location attempting to catch the crocodile without the proper permits or permission. This will taunt the croc making shy and harder for us get close to him, not to mention putting themselves and the village in danger with limited or no experience catching and handling these large reptiles reptiles. I know first hand how quickly things can turn bad with a 4m croc, fast flowing river and a small boat is not the ideal situation. Thankfully though the Indonesian government has acted swiftly and these teams have been arrested and removed. Once I arrive on Saturday, I will conduct further talks with the government and all organisations involved to ensure the safe capture and rescue of this animal and will keep you all up to date with the journey.

06.01.2022 INDO CROC IS TYRED OF LIVING LIKE THIS... I’ve been watching this croc for the past 18 months trying to work out the best window to get over to Central Sulawesi to catch the 4 metre salty and relieve him from this tight choker. I believe the tyre has been around the croc’s neck for a few years now with the croc being able to survive and live unaffected. However, our contacts in Indo have shared recent pictures of the croc which show the tyre looking tighter than ever before w...ith the poor fella gasping for air and officials now fearing the tyre is slowly killing the beast. We’ve been talking to contacts on the ground working out a plan of attack and have decided to make the journey over to Indonesia this month to track down, capture and remove the tyre from the animal’s neck and safely release him back into the wild. I’ll keep you up to date with our journey in the coming weeks. @ Central Sulawesi

04.01.2022 ** Supporting wildlife affected by fires ** It is devastating beyond words to see the wildlife lost but there is a lot we can do right now to help with the care and rehabilitation of the surviving animals, many of which are injured or scorched and have no place to call home... Every dollar will make a difference in ensuring those fragile animals can be brought back to health and one thing is for sure ** we need every single one of these precious creatures now more than ever...** For those wanting to donate specifically to wildlife here are some of the organisations, charities & hospitals giving their time and energy to protect our wildlife in different ways. If you click through to their websites they tell you what their donations are going towards. I have added handles below for organisations I know of based in NSW, VIC and Kangaroo Island but I know there are so many more. Please add the handles of other organisations in the comments section so we can have visibility of as many as possible in one place. You can find the link to each organisation’s donations page on their IG or Facebook profile, if it’s not on their profile please private message me and I will send the direct links through to you Thinking of every person and every animal affected by these fires...
