although this will not completely cut out the danger.
However much we know about wild animals, each
one is an individual and, as such, there will always
be the one creature that does not react according to
the general rule.
Perhaps the audience’s anticipation of danger is a part
of the fascination of watching wildlife documentaries.
The presenter who gets bitten holding a dangerous
snake while talking to camera makes for exciting
viewing. Wildlife film-makers have a passion for their
subject, which they want to share.
1 Film-makers have been trampled by elephants
while filming.
2 Most filming is done without the cameraman
being near the wildlife.
3 It’s important for the film-maker to know a
lot about the animal being filmed.
4 It’s possible to get rid of all the risks with
careful planning.
5 Wild animals are very predictable.
6 People might enjoy watching wildlife
documentaries because of the dangers involved.
7 Many presenters have been bitten by
venomous snakes.
8 Most film-makers aim to teach people how
to handle wild animals.
