Never heard of him. I was always partial to Marlin Perkins though.

Marlin had a good gig, hanging in the studio with the chimp, smokin' blunts while Jim wrestled the boa in fetid swamp water.

I remember Marlin Perkins as a kid. "Let's look at this giraffe through a telescope." I never could get into nature shows like that. They just bored me. I could look at an animal closer if I went to Lion Safari in California. Jeff Corwin is actually a happy medium between both extremes.

The Kratt Brothers are good, too, but their current show is on National Geographic channel. It is often cool to see them in the middle of these animal groups and the animals don't even notice them. The Kratt Brothers were actually my oldest son's first introduction to nature shows. I couldn't teach the kid from a book, but five minutes of a Kratt Brother show and he was demonstrating how a fiddler crab walks.

Marlin Perkins always made Jim Fowler get in to the water with the crocs.
