Tyson was separated at birth from his mother sadly due to a complication. Now one year old, he has been raised at Ant Africa Safaris by wildlife manager Leanne Huber. His story inspired me to travel to South Africa to immortalise him in bronze.

Watch the short film below to learn more about the making of the bronze of Tyson, documenting our journey from Waterberg, South Africa to the foundry in Basingstoke.
