LAUREN ARTHUR is a zoologist, marine biologist, TV presenter, all round animal lover and passionate conservationist. She used to present DiveLive, underwater, now she is one of the safari guides on the Wild Earth YouTube channel, hosting live African safaris twice daily. She recently travelled to Ethiopia in hope of sighting the incredibly rare and endangered Ethiopian Wolf, and she's now an official WWF Voices ambassador. Amongst other things, we talk about her hair-raising close encounters with both lions and elephants, her animal rescue efforts, and the tragic shooting of a leopard. HAVE YOU MET...
