...About Tom “The Blowfish” Hird
The Blowfish learnt the value and beauty of animals from a young age and now he devotes himself to teaching the wonder of wildlife and the importance of conservation. The subject closest to his heart, of course, is the sea.
Throughout his years working directly with many dangerous animals, both in controlled settings and in the wild, The Blowfish has gathered incredible experience which allows him to free dive with sharks, wrangle snakes and dance with scorpions. Always showing the utmost respect to the creature, but also exploring and explaining it’s most amazing features, The Blowfish can access a side of nature that no one else can.
