Francisco Javier Cuesta Ramos (born 16 October 1971),[4] also known as Frank Cuesta (Spanish pronunciation: [fɾaŋk ˈkwesta]), is a Spanish adventurer, wildlife veterinary,[citation needed] television presenter, tennis coach, and Youtuber.
Born in León, Cuesta devoted his early years to tennis, learning from figures such as Nick Bollettieri, Guillermo Vilas, Pete Sampras, and Jim Courier.[5][6] At a very young age, an injury marred his tennis career, but he kept training with Bollettieri until he asked Cuesta to move to Thailand to open an academy.[7] Once in Bangkok, Cuesta became growingly interested in wildlife.
His interest in animals brought him to fame with the TV show Frank de la Jungla (es), for which he won a Premio Ondas in 2011 for the category of Innovation or Television Quality (es).[8] The show spawned two spin-offs: La Selva en Casa (es) and Natural Frank (es). All three shows were broadcast by Cuatro. A fourth show, Wild Frank (es), was broadcast by Discovery International.[9]
