Giles Clark

Giles Clark is an English conservationist and TV presenter.

Clark, who grew up in Middlesex, started his career working with big cats when volunteering as a sixteen-year-old.[1] Moving to Australia, he became Head of Big Cats at Australia Zoo in Queensland. Upon returning to the UK he became a Director at The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent.[2]

His TV breakthrough came in 2014 when he presented the BBC programme Tigers About the House.[3] The show, which consisted of three episodes, followed Giles and his family as they bring up two young tiger cubs. This was followed up with another series, a two-parter entitled Tigers About the House: What Happened Next. In 2016 he co-presented the four episodes of Ingenious Animals, another BBC programme. In 2018 he presented Big Cats About the House, which featured him bringing up a Jaguar and a Cheetah in his own home with his family.[4]

In July 2020, Clark presented the BBC's programme Bears About the House,[5] highlighting the illegal trade in sun bears and moon bears in Laos. In particular, the first episode focuses on a sun bear called Mary whom Clark helps raise after she was rescued by Free the Bears Fund. The series is narrated by Andrew Lincoln.
