No, good old Nigel is a Brit. This guy speaks like a S. African but I think he's namibian or something, tall, blond.

BTW, Nigel's in a current UK TV prog called "Prehistoric Park" (I think) where he goes back in time, through a portal, and entices now-extinct species through the portal, into a Jurrasic Park-like zoo, with, of course, the heavy help of CGI. It's like a documentary but pretending it's for real. Quite good.

OTOH he does often expose himself to other animals but lets himself be, say, stung repeatedly by bees, eaten alive by fleas and bed-bugs (ugh!). In a way more courageous than Irvin and his ilk.

>>>Yes. Very sad.
>>>He made a video with the childern's entertainers, The Wiggles, few years back. My kids still like to watch it.

>>>But some of stunts he use to do on TV, I wondered why he did them. Seems he would take unnecessay risks at times.

>>There's this southern African chap who's been doing progs aired on Channel 5 over her. Can't remember his name but the prog's called "Adventure Man" or something, where he goes all round the world chasing and handling the most deadly of snakes. He's just as mad as Steve was, just as enthusiastic, even more risk taking (one episode he was on a narrow ledge on a cliff, with a rattler before him and the void behind - he dropped his expensive camera down the cliff when the snake lunged at him). I've seen him getting bitten by a snake on one episode, he's wrestled an anaconda in the river in another.

>>He's absolutely "away with the fairies" and it's a wonder he hasn't been killed yet.
