Winter has been attacked by rhinos in India, stalked by jaguars in Brazil, charged by an 11-foot grizzly in Siberia and trapped in quicksand in the world's largest tiger reserve in Myanmar. He specializes in wildlife, and particularly, big cats. He kicks off a new season of National Geographic Live shows at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto on October 5, 6, & 7.
