Natural Born Monsters: Tiger Snakes (2015)
A lifelong ambition now captured on film forever
I have been handling Australia's most deadly snakes for a shade over 25 years. I am 42.You do the math. As a kid, the Western Tiger Snake was the first venomous snake I ever hand captured and so began the love affair.
My utopia? Chappell Island off the coast of southern Australia where the Tiger Snakes are as enormous as they are prolific. Karga7 and the Weather Channel took me there and now you can go too.
Who is Sean Duggan? At over six feet tall and adorned with some of the best ink I've seen, Sean could be mistaken for someone who fears nothing and no-one. But nothing could be further from the truth. You, the audience, will immediately connect with Sean just as I did and I guarantee that, after Episode 1, you'll want to call 'shot gun' and ride side-by-side with him as he ventures across the globe in pursuit of the wildest Natural Born Monsters spawned by Mother Nature herself.
Natural Born Monsters (2015)
The truth is stranger than fiction
I have been handling Australia's most deadly snakes for over a quarter of century and I am just a shade over 40. The first large adult venomous snake I hand-captured (and kept as a pet) was the Australia Tiger Snake: one of the most notorious and deadly snakes on the planet.
Contrary to popular belief, handling deadly snakes is not part of the Australian Junior School curriculum. But at only 13 years of age it was just something I felt I knew how to do. And so began a life- long love affair that very few people can understand and none can fully appreciate.
Fast forward 27 years and I am on Chappell Island, southern Australia: my utopia and home to a population of gigantic tiger snakes. Bigger and more venomous than anything I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with before. How did I get here?
Karga7 and the Weather Channel took me there to take part in the filming of an epic adventure that left me breathless and bewildered. Re-live the journey with me during Episode 1 of Natural Born Monsters.
The ensuing series sees Adventurer and Host Sean Duggan travel the world in search of creatures that are sometimes best left alone.
