TERRI, ON BUSH TUCKER: "You can imagine my dismay when Steve strolled into camp cradling a very large nest of green ants. But I must admit, I was most impressed when he stirred a few around in a glass of water. It tasted like lemonade!"
STEVE, ON SNAKES: "On my sixth birthday I was given a twelve-foot scrub python, although the difference in our sizes meant that I couldn't in fact play with it, or I might become its next meal!"
STEVE, ON WILDLIFE: "Our passion for wildlife is our elixir of life and we'll die defending animals that others deem dangerous or threatening. We humans still have a long way to go with learning to live harmoniously with our environment and its wildlife."
