I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.
We've evolved from sitting back on our tripods and shooting wildlife films like they have been shot historically, which doesn't work for us.

Crikey means gee whiz, wow!
The only animals I'm not comfortable with are parrots, but I'm learning as I go. I'm getting better and better at 'em. I really am.
I am optimistic globally. So many scientists are working frantically on the reparation of our planet.
Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart.

Snakes are just very instinctive to me. I've been playing with snakes since before I could walk. It doesn't matter where or what it is, from the biggest to the most venomous.
So fear helps me from making mistakes, but I make lot of mistakes.

Since I was a boy, from this house, I was out rescuing crocodiles and snakes. My mum and dad were very passionate about that and, I was lucky enough to go along.
No, snakes are no problem. I'd go to any country, anywhere, any snakes, not a problem.
There's a lot of research behind the scenes that you don't get to see, but I have an instinct that my dad nurtured from when I was born. I was very lucky then.
Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, education's the most important thing.
Because when they strike it can be that quick that if they're within range, you're dead, you're dead in your tracks. And his head weighs more than my body so it's WHACK!
