Animal Planet viewers can join wildlife
expert Tim Faulkner as he wrestles saltwater
crocodiles, wrangles deadly taipans and milks
funnel-web spiders. It’s all in a morning’s work
for the reptile park operations manager and
wildlife expert.
A conservation series, ‘The Wild Life of Tim
Faulkner’ follows the busy schedule of Australian
Reptile Park general manager Tim Faulkner, as
he tackles the daily challenges of running one of
Australia’s most action packed wildlife parks.
The new season kicks off on 1 December and
will air every night at 9 pm on Animal Planet. It
tracks Tim hatching baby alligators, tagging rock
wallabies, releasing turtles and travelling deep
into the Australian outback in search of rare and
bizarre species to tick off his ‘bucket list’.
Also, in this series, viewers meet Tim’s young
son Bill (aged 4+), as he shares his dad’s
passion for wildlife conservation. One of his first
lessons is the challenge of ‘how to train your
Komodo dragon’.
The 20-part series sees him spending time at the
Devil Ark, the Tasmanian Devil insurance
breeding programme to ensure the survival and
sustainability of the species in the wild. He also
explores the Tasmanian coast and heads out to
the Southern Ocean to see its birdlife, dolphins
and seals before heading north where he
encounters Australia’s longest python.
He encounters Australia’s largest lizard in central
Australia, he administers a dose of antibiotics to
the reptile park’s cranky croc Elvis. Further, Tim
heads to Central Australia to see what effects
drought and introduced feral pests are having on
local wildlife. He joins his team to rescue seven
juvenile alligators from a muddy ending and deals
with an eye infection of a cobra. Further in the
series, Tim tours Tasmania’s Serengeti where he
encounters kangaroos, wombats, echidna and
some rare feathered friends.
Now 32 years, Tim has been working in the zoo
and conservation industry his whole life. Since
volunteering at a Sydney Wildlife Park from the
age of 14, Tim has worked with some of
Australia’s rarest most endangered species and
their species management programmes within
captivity.
He is playing an important role in the Tasmanian
devil mainland breeding programme, the Devil
Ark. The iconic Tasmanian devil is nearing
extinction from the devil facial tumour disease.
