Hayden James Turner (born 16 February 1966) is an Australian zookeeper and wildlife television presenter.
Turner was born in Sydney, Australia and is a wildlife television presenter known for his work for the National Geographic Channel.
He works alongside experienced television crews, leading producers, and directors; and has co-produced several of his programs.
Turner resigned from his ten-year job as a senior keeper at Taronga Zoo, Sydney, to visit Africa and work on volunteer conservation projects.
Impressed by the passion and depth of knowledge Turner displayed and struck by his unique presentation skills, Smith asked him if he'd be interested in taking a digital video camera to Africa to record his adventures.
