" Dave Salmoni, 32, likes to live on the wild side \u2014 literally. For an episode of the Discovery Channel&amp;#039;s Shark Week, the gutsy zoologist jumped into the waters of New Guinea to swim among great whites (no cage!). On Living with Tigers, he basically cohabited with two of the big cats in South Africa. His current show, Animal Planet&amp;#039;s After the Attack, is a series about people working through the emotional aftermath of being attacked by a wild animal. But despite his occupation&amp;#039;s hazards, he shows no signs of stopping. Just like the animals he studies, Dave can&amp;#039;t be easily tamed.   WHY DID YOU WANT TO FILM AFTER THE ATTACK?  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been attacked by a lion, so I help others who&amp;#039;ve been attacked through their fear. I don&amp;#039;t think you ever get over it, but you learn to deal with the aftereffects the best you can.&amp;quot;   WHAT&amp;#039;S YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH THE ANIMALS YOU OBSERVE?  &amp;quot;You always have to be respectful. People see me hugging and kissing big animals, and I get why they go, &amp;#039;Wow, I&amp;#039;d love to do that.&amp;#039; But I&amp;#039;ve had years of training to get to this point, so it&amp;#039;s one of those don&amp;#039;t-do-this-at-home types of things.&amp;quot;   TELL US SOMETHING WOMEN NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT GUYS. &amp;quot;Our egos are very fragile \u2014 mine included \u2014 and listening to a girl say &amp;#039;My ex-boyfriend this&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;My ex-boyfriend that&amp;#039; doesn&amp;#039;t help. Even if you&amp;#039;re talking negatively about him, we think, Oh, you still think about your ex? Forget it.&amp;quot; Back to  Cosmo&amp;#039;s Fun Fearless Males 2008 page "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
