Herein lies our problem. If we level that much land to grow rice and whatever, then no other animal could live there except for some insect pest species. Which is very unfortunate.

Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart.

My belief is that what comes across on the television is a capture of my enthusiasm and my passion for wildlife.

The truth is that we will never save wildlife by killing it.

I'm a proud Australian, a very, very proud Australian.

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.

I have a deep-seated respect for parrots. As gifted as I am with all other wildlife, parrots have this uncanny desire to kill me. I'm not sure why, but they're like my kryptonite!
