Steve Leonard is a veterinarian and TV presenter.

It was while studying veterinary science at Bristol University Veterinary School that he was approached with a number of other final-year students to take part in a BBC production. The resulting series, Vet School, was a huge success, and Vets In Practice swiftly followed suit. Steve went on to present Vets In The Wild with Trude Mostue, while holding down a full-time job at a veterinary practice in Lancaster.

In 1999 Steve quit full-time veterinary employment and took to travelling round the world instead, filming with the BBC Natural History Unit to produce the series Ultimate Killers in 2001. Not one to shy away from danger, Steve took part in many stunts, such as tandem skydiving out of a balloon at 10,000 feet over Spain and climbing into an eagle's eyrie in Panama.

Since then Steve has presented numerous shows including Extreme Animals, Animal Camera, Journey of Life, Incredible Animal Journeys and Orangutan Diary.

During the filming of Return to Vets in Practice in 2008, he announced that he was returning to veterinary practice full-time. But his presenting days are far from over and Steve still finds the time to appear in front of the camera!
