The show will follow his sold-out 30th-anniversary tour in 2023.

Speaking about the new tour, Gordon said: "Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

"It could be a line straight from The Wizard of Oz but there’s no fiction here, just amazing facts as I get the chance to bring to life the amazing adventures I’ve had the absolute privilege to experience."

He continued: "Bears and big cats are the undisputed icons of the animal kingdom and I’ve spent a lifetime capturing them on film.

"From pandas in China to orphaned grizzlies in Russia, from high-altitude tigers in the Himalayas to jaguars in the depths of the Amazon; I have been fortunate enough to meet many of these incredible creatures in their natural habitats – and I love being able to share their secrets with audiences.

"There has been mud, sweat and tears, tender moments and terrifying encounters and I can’t wait to meet more animal lovers and tell more tales as I hit the road again."

Hailed as Scotland’s own David Attenborough, Buchanan has dedicated his life to exploring the beauty of the natural world, from forests to snowy landscapes, and from towering mountains to the depths of the great rainforests.

His new tour in 2025 will feature his adventures with pandas, grizzlies, tigers, jaguars and more.
