TV Crew With Animal Planet’s “River Monsters” Finds, Rescues Cast Away On Deserted Australian Island

Animal Planet’s smash hit series, River Monsters, hosted by world renowned fisherman Jeremy Wade, aired a remarkable story last week. While filming an episode in a deadly and remote area of Australia, the crew noticed a blue cooler in the distance near the shore of an abandoned island. Soon after, a man — weak from dehydration and sun exposure — emerged from a cave pleading for rescue. In an interview with Inside Edition, River Monsters director Stephen Shearman said, “He had said his last prayer. He was prepared to die and meet his maker.” You can watch the rescue above.
