Thanks to everyone involved @YorkshireWP in our Ukraine Lion Rescue film on @BBCTheOneShow tonight, including *Cheryl Williams* and @csfnorthcott whose great phone shots in Poland help us tell the story, and the @Screenhouse_TV crew.

Note to self.
If you fly a drone in your living room,
A) don’t fly it through your pot plants, it will strim the leaves off.
B ) don’t crash it into your legs, it’ll cut you and hurt.

Here’s what I have been up to over the past 30+ years. Near death, amazing animals and some very funny moments. Good idea for Xmas too. Available on Amazon and at Peppers of Yorkshire at the Hive @YorkshireWP

@BushcraftBearLP As a predator they need to preserve as much energy as they can because they use so much energy when hunting. In the case of a Lion they can rest up to 20 out of 24 hours a day. It burns a lot of energy when hunting and to fail means they will be weaker the next time they go out.
