Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on December 27, 1962)

Happy Birthday, Simon King! May your day be filled with more excitement than a cheetah chase and fewer surprises than an elephant sneezing nearby. Your incredible adventures on BBC's Big Cat Diary have kept us roaring with laughter and awe—especially when you bravely faced down curious lions or patiently waited hours for that perfect leopard shot.

Here's to another year of thrilling wildlife encounters, unforgettable moments in the African savannah, and perhaps finally discovering what big cats really think about all those cameras pointed their way. Keep inspiring us—and remember: age is just a number; lion cubs still outrun everyone!
