Born in Sweden, I'm the only child of Radcliffe and Cordelia Thornberry. I travel around the world with my family making wildlife documentaries for my own show. I'm easily excited and am usually calm, even in the face of danger. My catchphrase is "Smashing!" I was knighted by the Queen of the United Kingdom, and offered a professorship at Oxford University. Much to my mother's disapproval, I turned down the professorship. Although I'm is an expert at the natural world, I'm pretty slow when faced with other things; but I am always fascinated by nature, even in the face of my own demise as a result of it.
