Every
other nature show and travel show host needs to learn a lesson from Dominic
Monaghan about how to be genuine – and
genuinely interesting – on camera. The idea of stalking through rain forest and
jungle to find deadly creatures and creepy crawly insects may be most people’s
idea of a nightmare, but Monaghan makes it seem like the most natural ---and coolest -- thing in the world. The way the show pretends that this episode maybe
the one where they don’t find the animal they are looking for gets a bit old at
times, but you almost forgive Monaghan and his crew because they turn up so
many other cool things to look at along the way. A big part of the fun in it
all is that, unlike guys like Jeff Corwin or Jack Hanna, Monaghan is not a
trained professional. He’s just a geek who loves animals.
