Raised in the wilds of Far North Queensland, Papua New Guinea and outback Australia, as a child Matt Wright would catch deadly snakes for fun or lizards and turtles for show and tell at school. Now the star of National Geographic's worldwide smash TV show, Outback Wrangler, is taking us on a wild adventure in his new book. He shows us how that special outback flavour of danger, adrenaline and adventure comes together in the persona, l boys-own adventure stories of Matt Wright.

Matt Wright is a chopper pilot and dangerous animal expert. He has spent time as an outback musterer (horse wrangler), oil rig worker, soldier in the Australian Army, crocodile egg collector, and chopper instructor. Today, Matt's passions and unique skill set have turned into a career as a wildlife re-locator; tracking down, capturing and transporting a diverse range of dangerous animals including crocodiles, wild buffalo and even Polar Bears. Matt works closely with scientists, wildlife management authorities, indigenous elders (traditional land owners), and cattle station owners to ensure a win/win situation for both the animals at hand as well as the humans that need his help. Matthew Wright's first series aired globally on Nat Geo WILD at the end of 2011 and start of 2012 and is now in development of his second series.
