The first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age, and it was a rescue.
I am optimistic globally. So many scientists are working frantically on the reparation of our planet.
So, my tactic with conservation of apex predators is to get people excited and take them to where they live.
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.
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!
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.
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.
My field is with apex predators, hence your crocodiles, your snakes, your spiders.
That might have a lot to do with it, but you know, I probably don't show fear, but I suffer from fear like everyone else.
When I talk to the camera, mate, it's not like I'm talking to the camera, I'm talking to you because I want to whip you around and plunk you right there with me.
