I bled a lot. I got hit across the face. We couldn't film for seven days. I got hit, whacked, underwater, across the face. I finished the shot, got into the boat and blood started coming out. ↗

I sincerely believe that there's room for cutting down trees for forestry and grazing, so as we all get to eat. Everyone has to compromise. ↗

My field is with apex predators, hence your crocodiles, your snakes, your spiders. ↗

No, snakes are no problem. I'd go to any country, anywhere, any snakes, not a problem. ↗

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 now what happens is the cameras follow me around and capture exactly what I've been doing since I was a boy. Only now we have a team of, you know, like 73 of us, and it's gone beyond that. ↗

So, my tactic with conservation of apex predators is to get people excited and take them to where they live. ↗

Take the crocodile, for example, my favorite animal. There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They're on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know. ↗

The first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age, and it was a rescue. ↗
