Aventura Selvagem: A fun lesson in biology
The biologist and TV presenter Richard Rasmussen traveled the world to give us a close-up of the most fascinating animals and areas of outstanding natural beauty
Alligators [1], snakes, lizards [2] ...A normal person usually prefers to stay away from these and other wild animals. But this is not the case for biologist and TV presenter Richard Rasmussen. His job is to travel the world in search of all manner [3] of animals, including the most dangerous ones. And when he finds them, Richard does not just show them from afar [4], instead, he gets close enough to touch them. It is common to see him grabbing [5] hold of snakes and even alligators. This is a very dangerous approach. Nobody should try it, because they would run the risk of being injured or even killed. That said, Richard is an expert and has been prepared for his task [6].

Love for animals
On the program "Aventura Selvagem," aired on Thursday nights on SBT, Richard is always full of fun and adventure. It is common to see him kissing tapirs [7] and sloths [8] and giving food to monkeys and birds. During the program he gives us a real biology lesson, with information about the animals and also the flora in each region he visits. Richard’s love of animals is such that he has saved the lives of many during his work. In addition, he uses his TV program to encourage the general public to adopt abandoned pets they find when filming. Richard himself has adopted some of these animals.Matéria publicada na edição de número 61 da revista Maganews.
