There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

He was absolutely impressive.
But what this guy was doing was so dumb, like if these lions attack him, then they would be shot to death, its okay if this guy wants to risk his life for money and fame, but dont risk lives of these lions.
Yeah, unfortunately they have to make everything suspenseful and create tension for no apparent reason (I don't get the point of why this guy is trying to approach a pride of lions with cubs on foot; exactly what does that prove?). I partly blame Steve Irwin (the Crocodile Hunter) for this trend and he ultimately paid the price for it but his shows had the ratings.
I see your point but 99% of people won't watch a wildlife related show without the suspense or tension. I wouldn't really criticizes Steve Irwin, probably got more eyes on the real issues than anyone else.
