How did you get a foot in the door first off with National Geographic?

It's great timing, Alex, to get in contact at that point.

How did the lifestyle of a National Geographic photographer compare to the lifestyle you'd been living as a student?

Did it look like an enjoyable path, an appealing path for you to follow?

What did you learn from Steve in terms of photographing and filming these incredible animals?

What role does chance play in getting a great photograph of an animal in the wild, though?

How much is it down to luck?

You then began working with these tree climbing lions, Alex.

Where do they live?

Can you call it a cultural behavior?

Because my cat climbs trees.

Do all big cats, are they all able to climb trees?

They're going up and kind of clocking on for work and spending the working day out there.

Incredible.

And why, I guess, is the obvious question.

Why are lions spending most of the daylight hours in trees?

If it is to do with temperature, are they more likely to climb in the hotter months or is it something that happens all year round?

It's still worth climbing a tree.

What kind of trees are they climbing?

In terms of that cactus-looking tree, I mean, do the spikes hurt them?
