Hi Garrett, thanks for the question. I really had to think hard about my biggest fear. I have traveled through Costa Rica, South Africa, Namibia, Belize, and Scotland and have really sought out the wildlife in those areas. My biggest fear, and I know this is going to sound lame but, I really want to see a polar bear and my fear is that I will not get to see one. I have seen eyelash vipers, boa constrictors, and ocelots in the wild areas of Costa Rica, Lions, elephants, zebras, cheetahs, and giraffes in South Africa and Namibia. So I have seen a lot of the big animals on the planet. So I am hoping to see a polar bear. I really don't have a fear - other than I really don't like snakes and since it's the Arctic I don't have to worry about them up here.

I hope that answers your question, and like I said I know that is a pretty lame answer. If you have any other questions, let me know!
Thanks!
Jim
