CORRECTION: In the voiceover at 8:18 the reporter wrongly says ā€œWith mares producing at least 2 foals a yearā€¦ā€. Mares on average produce one foal every two years. Thanks to the users who pointed this out in the comments. Source: https://pestsmart.org.au/pest-animal-...

Meet the Ferals looks at the devastating impact feral animals have on Australia's environment and agriculture and how farmers control introduced pests like cats, goats, pigs, rabbits and wild dogs.

Produced and presented by reporter Prue Adams, this series focuses on a different feral animal each episode. The content has been gathered from the three decades Landline has been on air, with background information and support provided through the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions.
