Man on a Mission

摘要

He's got legions of fans, some so fervent that he needs bodyguards as they flock in their thousands to see him. You can buy hiscomputer games, books and action figures, visit his adventure zone at a safari park and watch him on TV. But he is not a footballer, singer or movie star. No, he's a naturalist -though one with a difference.Steve Backshall is a classroom hero, adored by children for his smash-hit Deadly... wildlife shows.
