I was born and raised with crocodiles; they are a piece of cake. But kids are so ... unpredictable.

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 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.

You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it'll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it's not even funny.

If we can teach people about wildlife, they will be touched. Share my wildlife with me. Because humans want to save things that they love.

Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.

My dad taught me from my youngest childhood memories through these connections with Aboriginal and tribal people that you must always protect people's sacred status, regardless of the pest.
