[00:01.38] Todd: OK. Leath, you're from Zimbabwe. Could you talk about that?

[00:04.63] Leath: Yeah, OK. Well, I'm from Harare which is the capital of Zim. I was born there.

[00:13.88] My folks are British. My dad is from Manchester and my mom is from Scotland.

[00:20.63] They went out a long time ago. Yeah, growing up in Zimbabwe was "lacker" as we say there.

[00:28.38] That means really cool in Africans.

[00:31.38] It was like you grow up in a big open free place with animals and sunshine and it's just a really healthy place to be.

[00:46.38] Well, at least it was. Today it's not doing too well because the economy has crashed but growing up there was really slick.

[00:55.13] Todd: Wow! What animals could you see?

[00:56.63] Leath: Just about an hour's drive out of any city, you are able to come across just about anything.

[01:04.13] I've seen leopards often at night about an hour out of the capital where I live.

[01:09.63] You see monkeys along the road, right up to the city outskirts. In certain areas, you'll have to stop for elephants.

[01:18.13] There's quite a few buck warning signs because they are actually quite dangerous at night.

[01:24.38] They jump across the road and your cars hit them at windscreen height.

[01:28.88] It is a bit of a problem. So, there's buck everywhere.

[01:32.63] Away from residential areas, there's you know your big five, rhino, the lion being the most...

[01:42.88] well interesting and I guess for foreigners.

[01:48.88] They are never really never around human settlement cause they are very very dangerous.

[01:54.38] They do take people from time to time.

[01:56.38] Todd: Wow! That's fascinating. Thanks a lot, Leath.

[02:00.88] Leath: You're welcome buddy. OK.
