Bertie Gregory: Saving the Animals (Even the Ones That Are Assholes)

Have you ever had that encounter where an animal has sort of like gone like, oh shit, obviously not going like Bertie's that you- Well, so in the case of Pataka, so the reason that I know her is that when she was a cub, when she was six months old in 2017, I filmed her for a BBC David Attenborough series called Seven Worlds.
