    EP97: The Man Who survived a Rhino Attack ↣ 'Klein Piet' Goosen

    They say a cat has nine lives, but we think Piet Goosen must have 90. He's been head-butted by a rhino, he's been knee-capitated by a giraffe, he's even survived wrestling a 15ft python while driving down a highway! Every single one of these mind blowing moments has conservation at it's core, because Piet plays a huge part in animal rescue and rehabilitation. Snakes, tortoises, birds, antelope... Piet has has helped them all. He even works against poachers too. Through his many years spent in the bush, he has grown to understand that nature is interconnected in the most complex of ways. Hang on to your headphones folks - this one's a bumpy ride! Thanks again Piet, it was a pleasure meeting you. Be sure to follow Klien Piet on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube, where he puts out a bunch of his wild animal encounters.
