Ep 2. Invasion of the Salties

As the adventures of the Outback Wrangler continue in season 2 episode 2, titled "Invasion of the Salties,” the focus is on the increasing presence of saltwater crocodiles in the Northern Territory of Australia. The episode opens with the Wrangler, Matt Wright, describing how over the years, these crocs have learned to adapt to the changing climate in the area, and now pose a serious threat to both humans and livestock.

The first challenge in the episode comes when Matt receives a call from a local ranger about a massive croc that has been spotted in a popular fishing spot. Matt and his team, including a new member, snake catcher Johnny, set out to capture the croc before it can cause any harm. After a tense few moments, they manage to wrangle the huge reptile into a cage, and transport it safely to a new location.

Next up, Matt is called to a farm where the owner has lost several cows to crocodile attacks. This is a serious problem for farmers in the region, as each cow is worth a significant amount of money, and crocodile attacks can wipe out entire herds. Matt, accompanied by the farmer, sets out to find the culprit croc. Their search takes them deep into the mangroves, where danger lurks around every corner. With crocs hiding in the water and snakes coiled in the trees, the stakes are high. Will they manage to capture the predator and save the farmer's livelihood?

The final segment of the episode focuses on a unique conservation project taking place in the Territory. A team of scientists has been working to capture saltwater crocs from areas where they pose a risk to humans, and relocate them to a remote location where they can live out their lives in safety. Matt and his team are called in to help with the process. They first have to catch the crocs using a combination of traps and bait, and then transport them by boat to the remote location. Along the way, they face several challenges, including a croc that manages to escape from its cage and wreak havoc on the boat.

Throughout the episode, the Outback Wrangler showcases the incredible skill and bravery of its main character, Matt Wright, as he takes on some of the most dangerous creatures in the world. However, the show also highlights the important role that crocs play in the ecosystem, and the need for solutions that balance the needs of humans and wildlife. Overall, "Invasion of the Salties" is a thrilling and informative episode that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
