It's hard to believe after he's been stung, bitten, chased by Komodo Dragons, rolled with crocs, that something like that would end his life. Shows how wicked nature can be.
"But I put my life on the line to save animals."
"I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it."
"I mean, these are all just little pink bits here (pointing at his arm) and are just curing up now. I've been recently filming a nine-and-a-half-foot female crocodile I had to catch. Oh, man, she bit me up! That was a mistake."
"I'm a proud Australian, a very, very proud Australian."
"I've probably saved thousands of peoples' lives with my educational message on snake bites, how to get in around venomous anything."
"The only animals I'm not comfortable with are parrots, but I'm learning as I go. I'm getting better and better at 'em. I really am."
