Recently, few years ago, Lyndal got her breakthrough of all these problems. The director of a film company called Mark Strickson saw Lyndal in a small pilot episode of her project. Mark and Lyndal approached with the idea to Animal Planet who bought the entire series of Lyndal’s Lifeline.
Lyndal says about being a wildlife presenter as "being a wildlife presenter is no easy job". Lyndal’s boldness and toughness has seen her through some of the world’s most dangerous places. While filming chimpanzees in Sierra Leone, Lyndal and her crew drove into the middle of a riot.Lyndal and her crew were trapped between wild elephants while in Sri Lanka. Lyndal has slept on concrete floors and on plastic sheets in the open air. She’s pushed her truck up a muddy mountain and lived for a week off with no money left in her.
"Yes, it's very hard and sometimes scary", she says. "There were times when we'd go days with very little food and barely any sleep to get to the animals. But I'd be lying if I didn't say that it’s been fantastic." Lyndal is still committed to working towards wildlife and she is still planning to continue further more.
