Family adventures don’t get much better than this! Surfing in the sea, playing games in the tent, bug-hunting with the kids and climbing through the wild made for the perfect mix of fun and fresh air. 🏕️🐞🌊🌿 Volvo Car UK #ex90 #ad | Steve Backshall

Mark ‘Lionel’ Vinall had a lot of big adventures together. From my early days on Nat Geo in the late 1990s, through Really Wild Show and onto Deadly 60. A cave diving explorer, Mark was able to switch seamlessly from topside to underwater filming, tireless, brilliant. Mark you will be sadly missed. | Steve Backshall

What’s your favourite British wildlife encounter? Inquisitive grey seals in the Isles of Scilly does it for me. Having curious playful pups and pops nibbling on your fins, an inter-species dance on their terms… hard to beat! Huge thanks to @seal_snorkelling_adventures | Steve Backshall

Steve Backshall gets closer to hippos than most would ever dare, watching them wander through streets and gardens in South Africa 🤯 With tusks that can grow as long as a human arm and lightning‑fast speed, these animals are as breathtaking as they are deadly 🦛 💪 #animals #documentary #nature | Channel 5

Who knew hippos sounded this wild? 🤯 🦛 Steve Backshall uncovers the surprising link between hippos, whales and dolphins - from “wheeze honks” to alien‑like vibrations that almost launched him out of his boat 🚤 😂 #SteveBackshall #Deadly60 #Wildlife | Channel 5

Ever seen a pango-yawn? Meet William, a one-year-old pangolin rescued from poachers and now in care with his mum. He’s been with his carers for three months, and this moment, tongue stretched high in the air mid-yawn, was a first for me. Gentle, curious, and on the road to recovery. 🐾😴👅 🎬 Deadly 60 on BBC One 📺 Saturday, 2:30pm #Deadly60 #Pangolin #Wildlife #Conservation #WilliamThePangolin | Steve Backshall
