Earth Explorers

Chadden Hunter

A wildlife biologist and filmmaker for over 10 years. Chadden completed a PhD on gelada baboons in Ethiopia before working on BBC productions such as Planet Earth and Life. He is currently a director on Frozen Planet and although a fan of polar bears and penguins, still gets misty-eyed at the mention of warm weather.
