Malayali youngster learns wildlife rescue watching Bear Grylls, gives CPR to snakes, fawns

Inspired by Bear Grylls and his father’s example, 36-year-old Lijo K J from Kecheri became a self-taught wildlife rescuer. He handles animals from bees and snakes to elephants and big cats, performs CPR on a fawn and a snake, and works with veterinary teams and forest officials. He charges fees but waives them for those unable to pay, accepting personal risk to save animals.
