Steve Leonard
Stephen "Steve" Leonard (b. 4 September 1972, Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland) is a British veterinarian and television personality. Additional recommended knowledge
Early lifeLeonard's family moved to Cheshire when he was six weeks old. FamilySteve Leonard studied veterinary science at Bristol University Veterinary School. His father and three brothers also studied veterinary science.[citation needed] CareerIn Leonard's final year of his degree, the BBC approached the college to gain permission to film a selection of final-year students. Originally viewing the potential TV appearance as "a bit of a laugh", he agreed to participate in the filming. The resulting series, Vets' School, was a huge success, and was swiftly followed up by Vets In Practice. He went on to present Vets In The Wild with Trude Mostue, while holding down a full-time job at a veterinary practice in Lancaster. He quit full-time veterinary employment in September 1999 after three years in Lancaster and found himself travelling all over the world with the BBC Natural History Unit, filming for Ultimate Killers. He travelled to places as far away as Indonesia and India. Filming Ultimate Killers involved stunts, such as tandem skydiving out of a balloon at 10,000 feet over Spain and climbing into an eagle's aerie in Panama. Steve Leonard also presented Extreme Animals and, in 2004, Animal Camera which took an intimate look at the animal kingdom through cutting edge miniature camera filming techniques. More recently, he explored the origins and evolution of life on Earth in Journey of Life for BBC1 and is already busy on his next projects, Incredible Journeys and Jaws in Britain, both with the Natural History Unit. CurrentlySteve and Tom (an elder brother) Leonard is currently working at the Leonard Brothers Veterinary Centre in Whitchurch, Shropshire. Selected filmography
