Upbringing

Damian Duffy was born on January 31, 1984, in Sydney, Australia. Damian grew up in Australia and comes from a humble background. One of the staple features of Australia is the number of wildlife within the continent. As a young kid, Damian would often scurry to the wilderness and spend exploring. This changed when he moved from the outskirts of Sydney to the main city for education. Even though Damian was no longer surrounded by the animals, he longed for the wilderness.

Career & Progression

After finishing his education, Damian decided to join the Australian Army. He joined the Australian Defense Force in 2001 and served for four years as a paratrooper. Damian also ventured into films and made his first appearance in the movie Boar. Produced by Universal Studios Australia, the movie debuted on big screens on the 17th of June, 2018. The movie revolved around a boar with staggering size and a ferocious, driving need for blood and destruction. Over the years, Duffy continued traveling and worked with people around the world.

As a wilderness guide, Damian often explored reports of strange animal attacks and sightings. He is often seen touring the sites of strange animal sightings in the hopes of finding the next apex predator. To Duffy, the journey into the wilderness is one of the tensest and hair-raising moments. He thrives on the adrenaline rush and is constantly on the lookout.

Legends of the Wild

Damian appeared on the Discovery Channel’s series Legends of the Wild.  The series premiered on April 1, 2020, on Discovery Channel and ran for a season. The series followed Duffy and his childhood friend Matt Hoffmann, a wildlife photographer and storm chaser, as they explore the world’s most dangerous areas in search of answers to nature’s most compelling mysteries. Some of the mysteries they have investigated include strange animal attacks, new apex predators, and sightings of unexplainable creatures.

One of the highlights of Duffy’s Legends of the Wild was when he and Hoffmann traveled to the Philippines to find out what was killing the livestock of the locals in Luzon. They encountered a terrifying beast that locals called the “Luzon Vampire” or the “Evil Spirit” and discovered that it was actually a rare and elusive Philippine eagle. The Philippine eagle is one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world, with a wingspan of up to 2.2 meters and a weight of up to 8 kilograms. Duffy and Hoffmann were able to capture stunning footage of the majestic bird and learn more about its behavior and conservation status.

The name of Wildman

Damian is often referred to as Wildman. And while the reason for the name is obvious for all to see, it just shows his expertise and experience in the field.

With animals to keep him company, there is nothing that Damian loves more.
