In my experience, the best way to prepare for public speaking is just to understand the topic that you're talking about, inside-and-out. Knowing something extremely well builds confidence and makes it easy to talk about. Being passionate about the topic also helps a lot.

This could be a brilliant new strategy to fight poachers. Train Gorilla's to foil poacher's traps and train dolphins to counter the nets and traps used by dolphin hunters. Now if only we could train elephants and rhinos to dodge bullets somehow.

Seriously though, this idea has potential.
