It seems to me like they enjoy it...and who wouldn't? Adrenaline is pounding, you are in the wild so far away from everyday normality and being faced with one of the most ferocious predators on the planet (shark, bear, lion, croc)...and there are camera's filming your every move. I cannot imagine a better job. I would do this in a heartbeat. What makes this jobs risks different from any others? Each year, more truckers die from accidents on the road and drug overdoses than all the animal attacks in the world combined (in a single year). This job is more extreme, and so are the risks that associate with it. Who chooses your job for you? YOU do. You decide to work the nine to five, he decides to play with lions and sharks. I side with Dave. Some people are so passionate about the animals and educating the plebian, that they are willing to accept great risks. It seems to me like they enjoy it…and who wouldn’t?

This job is more extreme,
and so are the risks that associate with it.
