BUSHMAN Andrew Ucles has a unique way of dealing with Australia's rabbit problem but is his method smart or just plain crazy? Decide for yourself.
Ucles, 25, catches some of Australia's most venomous snakes using his bare hands before putting them down rabbit holes to flush out their furry inhabitants.
And his rabbit trapping has been captured in a dramatic video in which he takes a cameraman into snake-filled marshlands to demonstrate his unique technique.
Ucles says the key behind catching wild animals is having a good understanding of predator / prey relationships.
As he catches some of the world's most dangerous snakes, Ucles says understanding animals' instincts and behaviour is important.
His unusual technique may be labelled crazy by some, but Ucles' end goal is a serious one - wildlife conservation.
Ucles wants to increase people's understanding of the wildlife around them and dispel myths and misunderstandings.
And while his method has yet to be widely adopted, his PR agent Lisa Sullivan says Ucles' wildlife skills have received a lot of interest from overseas.
Just don't try it at home.
