There are so many of earthkeeper or naturalist's in this world. But I choose Jeff Corwin as my hero. Why? Because he's so great at animals and he's doing a good job. First I know the name of Jeff Corwin is from Animal Planet. I saw him at 'The Jeff Corwin Experience'. I think he's really really a cool guy. Because he could face the bear, crocodiles, dangerous and poisonous snakes, etc. And so, I think he could be friend to the animals and have fun. From 'The Jeff Corwin Experience', I could tell that he really likes animals and he likes challenges. I like challenges too. I like the way he moves when he's going to catch the little crocodile with the light and hands, it was just so cool to me. Just look at the picture..isn't the bear so adorable with Jeff? It really makes me jealous, cause I want to hug the bear too. ^^_

Second, I choose Jeff Corwin as my hero because he's helping to establish the Emerald Canopy Rainforest Foundation and one more thing, he participated in the youth action committee for the United Nations Environmental Program. I think he could became both animal hero and the earthkeeper. I really really adore him. He inspires me to become a much much better person, and not to be afraid of our fears but to face it and he teaches me to love the animals. Now I have 2 turtles, one big turtle and one small Brazilian turtle, and some fish. But I like turtles the most, they move so smooth and easy just like Jeff when he faces the snake. But this is my opinion/perception. He looked at the snake and moved gently and carefully to hold the snake, so the snake thinks that Jeff is a tree. But I saw him so excited when he did that. Jeff also teaches me how important it is to know all the animal and tolove them and protect them, especially their habitat that 'we destroy mostly'.

Here's some funny experiences : starring Jeff and a Cambodian elephant. Jeff got tossed by the elephant and it hurt Jeff's elbow. It must be hurt. Luckily, Jeff is alright. Jeff and Anderson Cooper were doing some wildlife series and were shooting the elephant, but the elephant grabbed Jeff's elbow. Well, that's one good experience, I guess, for Jeff. Got tossed by an elephant in Cambodia.
