About Rupert
Rupert Bramble is PNN's animal expert: out in the field every morning on PNN In The Wild with the day's animal news, then back on the newsroom's screen for the Animal of the Day, and live from wherever an animal turns up in the news.
He has loved every creature he has ever met, including several that bit him, and he still gets goosebumps at a first sighting. He'll tell you what the animal is doing, why it's doing it, and the one fact about it you'll repeat at dinner.
He joined PNN in October, which the desk says was the first time anyone had walked into the newsroom with a lizard in their hat.
