Filming Ultimate Killers also involved some complicated stunts, such as tandem skydiving out of a balloon at 10,000ft in Spain, and climbing into an eagle's nest in Panama, 120ft up a very wobbly tree.

He got bitten by a rabbit, he got tick bourne disease and was very sick for four months. Stung by killer bees, bitten by a shark in the leg, fell out of a tree, charged by a black rhino, got trapped under the ice, attacked by a lion, and got into a car crash which he had 3 broken ribs and 12 stitches. He calls it, "All in a days work!"

He has a Vetinary practice in Bristol, England, and is currently lecturing across the world.

I am sometimes surprised that I am still in one piece. I have jumped out of a balloon at 10,000 feet, swum with sharks, been chased by a cheetah and held the most venemous animal in the world in my hands. And that was just before lunch.
