Shared on Instagram, a video post by Matt Wright, star of “Outback Wrangler” on the National Geographic channel, has captured the attention of thousands of viewers. “This video shows a very smooth, safe & successful release. My passion is enabling the peaceful coexistence between people & animals. When there is a problem crocodile threatening people or livestock I am often called in to catch and relocate/release the croc to a new home out of harms way,” his post noted.
Despite the fact that we here in Texas tend to lay claim to having the bigger things in life, we’ll gladly let Australia have the type of big beasts Wright works with on a regular basis. “I have created big new pens for problem crocs like this one out on my property so they can continue living a happy life without being destroyed. This also means I can continue bringing people out to see these magnificent animals up close and personal so they can learn more about this unique species and the importance of their existence,” he wrote in his Instagram post.
