About CampfireWildlife.com

Welcome to CampfireWildlife.com. My name is Dr. Ryan Wilson and I’m a professional wildlife biologist with over 20 years of experience in the field. I’ve worked with a range of wildlife species from frogs and song birds all the way up to some of the biggest predators in North America. 

I have a Ph.D. In Wildlife Biology from Utah State University. I’m also a Certified Wildlife Biologist, an accreditation from our professional organization, The Wildlife Society.

At CampfireWildlife.com I strive to provide you with interesting and important information about wildlife you might encounter when enjoying the great outdoors. I love sharing science with all ages and look forward to helping you learn more about our natural world!

I also want to provide my tips on some of the best types of gear to experience wildlife (or stay safe from) or learn more about science. I use my years of experience to provide you with professional insights. 

I’m a scientist at heart, so all the information I provide on CampfireWildlife.com is well-researched and based on my professional experiences and published science from other researchers. You can rest-assured that information I provide on my site isn’t just some AI-generated drivel. But rather, information based on strong scientific support.

Be sure to review my collection of information on different types of Wildlife Sign.
