Mark ‘Lionel’ Vinall had a lot of big adventures together. From my early days on Nat Geo in the late 1990s, through Really Wild Show and onto Deadly 60. A cave diving explorer, Mark was able to switch seamlessly from topside to underwater filming, tireless, brilliant. Mark you will be sadly missed. | Steve Backshall

Ever seen a pango-yawn? Meet William, a one-year-old pangolin rescued from poachers and now in care with his mum. He’s been with his carers for three months, and this moment, tongue stretched high in the air mid-yawn, was a first for me. Gentle, curious, and on the road to recovery. 🐾😴👅 🎬 Deadly 60 on BBC One 📺 Saturday, 2:30pm #Deadly60 #Pangolin #Wildlife #Conservation #WilliamThePangolin | Steve Backshall
