We watched this last night and had mixed emotions. 1) He's as dramatic as the old Crocodile Hunter, 2) He exaggerated the dangers of some of the animals but 3) did it all in the name of a good cause.
The thing that amused us most is that they implied (by their map) that Hol Chan and Shark & Ray Alley were right off of Belize City.
The Howler Monkey was darling - I thought they were a lot bigger than that.

Personally I thought the guy was an ass. Half his time was spent taunting animals into reaction. He tried to make himself comparable to Steve Irwin with the stingray comments, which he is not. Over dramatized Belize itself and made it sound like an animal slaughterhouse.
Researchers I used to work with on the mainland didn't think much of Steve Irwin's methods but respected him for what he accomplished. I bet they would throttle this guy if he got near them.
Ditto Simon !

The thing that bothered us most that while he was talking about animals having viruses he was handling them, collecting venom and drawing blood without ever wearing gloves.
