There was such a wealth of information to take in. I just let my camera roll. I took as much footage as possible. I didn’t want to miss anything.

The moment I arrived home, I excitedly described to my children the amount and types of wild animals I encountered on my trip.  They were filled with anticipation to view all of my video footage.
