Have you ever felt like intervening in the events you're filming? I know you're not supposed to interfere and all, but don't you ever watch some big-eyed newborn fluffball getting swallowed whole by a python or whatever, and think, "Screw it, I'm breakin' the code!"
(And I know, pythons gotta eat, too, but I know it would be hard for me to watch something endangered get got.)
Also, thanks for the AMA! I've been watching David Attenborough for most of my life, and I've always wondered about the brave souls who sit in a blind for 40 hours to get 15 seconds of bird-mating footage!
