Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

So hippos are quite a gnarly one.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

And then obviously elephants.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

Oh, man, you just got to run.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

Like it's not something that you can kind of stand up to.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

It's like you just got to get away from it.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

It's, yeah, it's not, it's slowly get around a wall or something.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

It's not, it's not, it's a kind of a dodgy place to be in.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

Yeah, usually they're not particularly comfortable being away out of water.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

So you certainly don't want to get between a hippopotamus and water.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

That's one of the worst things you can do is get between a hippo and where it wants to be.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

And then obviously elephants.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

Elephants you have to be very careful with, especially on foot.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

But again, with an elephant, you don't want to run away.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

You never want to run away with an elephant.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

You just have to stand up and shout and clap.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

And basically you should generally with a lot of animals in the wild, especially with big cats, you also should not run.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

You should stand your ground, clap, shout, make yourself as big as possible.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

Yeah.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

Yeah, and ideally you should always be in a place where the wind is in your favor so that they can't smell you.

Conversations
Encore: How I came to work with the lions who live in trees

So always keep a bearing of the wind direction and always stay upwind of them so that they can't smell you because that's how all of these animals are invariably reacting to the presence of a human.
