Mr. Ricky is a Wildlife Protection patrolman in Kenya, acting to preserve the fragile environment. He's fiercely protective of the animals, but thinks people must ultimately come first. Ricky is very passionate about his job, and takes any failure very personally. Mr. Ricky is a crack shot with a rifle, and can precisely hit a target in bad conditions even from a great distance. He apparently insists on being called "Mister", so he may be a fan of Sidney Poitier.
