In The Wild

In The Wild is a popular nature television series produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation from 1976 until 1981. It is hosted by Harry Butler, a noted Australian naturalist and environmental consultant. The show is a direct predecessor to the Steve Irwin/Crocodile Hunter hands-on style of nature television. Butler however is always gentle and respectful in his handling of animals. The re-runs of In The Wild continued to play into the 1990s.
