He keeps going and going and going....

Everyone of a certain generation has an idea of who Jim Fowler is, or at least would recognize him in the field. He was Marlin Perkin's assistant in Mutual of Omaha's wild Kingdom, the one who would do all the crazy, near suicidal stunts with animals, whenever a critter needed to be lassoed, tagged, diverted, oor given a human chew toy.  Jim undoubtedly inspired the Crocodile Hunter with his "hands on" naturalist style.  More importantly, my friends and I came up with any number of theories to explain his survival; multiple Jims was the easiest explanation, though theories ranged up to instant clones and terminator style cyborgs.

Oddly enough, he seems to have been human, and he's still around.  After doing a number of television nature specials, he's focused on wildlife preservation and the Center for Wildlife Education in New York, a mysterious place that has almost no web presence, but may involve wild animal parks.  Unless of course, that's merely a cover story to conceal the underground factory where vat after vat of bubbling, glowing green ichor is producing an army of nigh-invulnerable Jim clones to take over the world.  Or wrestle leopards or something.
