The 3 legged LION with Dr. Alex Braczkowski


Listen Later

Working on Totally Wild, I fell in love with wildlife, ecosystems and the animal kingdom. And obviously growing up I binge watched the Lion King a million times.


It was such an honour to have Dr. Alex Braczowski on the show to share his studies on all things lions and the African wilderness.


In this episode, we chat about their recent discovery of a leopard who eats bats in a cave which can lead to a new deadly virus. Never before has this behaviour been caught on camera.


Dr. Alex also has a documentary out on Disney + called 'Tree Climbing Lions' which features Jacob the three legged lion who survives through immense struggles, lives to tell the tail and also has to relearn how to hunt.


I think there is a lot we can learn from the animal kingdom and apply to our own lives. Sometimes we don't give ourselves credit enough for how well we can adapt in difficult situations. We are too quick to blame or give up. In the wild you have no choice. You have to survive.


Human beings are very resilient creatures, we have just been to comfortable in recent years and aren't pushed to our limits.
