Saltwater Croc – Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory

Deep inside Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, local rangers are keen to monitor a rogue saltwater crocodile – the deadliest reptile on the planet! Brandon reckons Kayne could help them out, and enlists his mate to help lure a giant croc into a cage, anaesthetise it, and then attach a satellite tag to the back of its neck.
