I'm learning that human pressure on wildlife is becoming increasingly dangerous. You've got to be more alert because more animals have been pushed around, wounded, subjected to human harassment, ambushed, all kinds of stress. When they attack, it's totally predictable.
Sharks are like dogs. They only bite when you touch their private parts.
It's Earth Day today. Let me tell you something about polar bears. They're endangered but you have to be careful because a polar bear is one of the few animals that will stalk a human. If you go to where polar bears live, it might stalk you and when you're on the plane going home, it might be behind you reading.
I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.
Apparently you're not allowed to lick a toad's back.
I'd love to see some animals in their natural habitat - as long as those animals are being well looked after.
What do you think you should do if you're attacked by a bear? Play dead? No - that's a lie promoted by the bears.
In Vancouver, you have to lock your doors - not for strangers, but for bears.
If you ever, ever, ever meet a grizzly bear, / You must never, never, never ask him where / He is going, / Or what he is doing; / For if you ever, ever dare / To stop a grizzly bear, / You will never meet another grizzly bear.
I blame it on Walt Disney, where animals are given human qualities. People don't understand that a wild animal is not something that is nice to pat. It can seriously harm you.
Bears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them.
Giraffes are completely tranquil - they have no predators as adults because there's not an animal in the jungle stupid enough to go for them.
All the beasts in Howling Forest were safe in their caves, nests, and burrows.
The best thing to do is just leave them alone. Alligators want to be away from you just as much as you want to be away from them.
Statistically there's only one crocodile-related human fatality per year in the whole of Australia.
If you're Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya, if you're in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, you don't get out of your vehicle and go walking around amid the lions and the leopards. You stay in your Land Rover. You stay in your safari van, and you look out the windows or you look out the pop top at these animals. I know by experience how badly that can work out if you violate those guidelines.
