I go through exactly how I became a wildlife biologist in my career series playlist - check it out here! kzfaq.info/sun/PLSUQE1Qc6at_vrQLY26YOAZ2_9WkSsYZ3

This is way better then sitting in an office haha idk what i wanna be its between marine ecology or biology or zoology or wildlife bio i cant pick ahh

This is actually very realistic, and even after watching this I still want to be one! :)

“Stabbed by branches, eaten by mosquitoes, miserable for half the day because of the insects” This is the daily life for me, I live in the NWT 😂 I’ll do just fine as a wildlife biologist!

All I know is that I love biology to the point that I have a hard time choosing which field in biology I should study!!! So I'm searching for options, and this doesn't seem bad at all!!!

Honestly I just want a job where I can study animals yet go out in the wild with a team often-

I grew up with my dad taking me to the woods near my house, identifying different plants and animals we found, and navigating the forest with no paths. Mosquitoes and bugs are a part of my daily life anyway, so this seems super interesting, especially the travel! I'm currently a biology major but I feel very disconnected from the medical, lab, and biochem work, so this seems like a really great fit for me. Thanks for posting this video!

Do you still want to be a wildlife biologist after watching this? Or did this video scare you away?! Let me know below :)

I have known many ecologists/wildlife biologists, and attended countless seminars, and they all have one thing in common. No matter where in the world they have worked, and no matter their age, gender, personality type, or any other personal attribute, they always, always, ALWAYS tell you how much they suffered.

I’ve been considering wildlife biology and marine biology but I honestly don’t know if I’d be good with a job on the field. But I have been truly considering it

I’d love to be a wildlife biologist! (despite all the bites and scratches)

I want to be a wildlife Biologist, ive been studying a Ant farm in my back garden and i love it, i really want to save up for a gel ant aquarium!, Me and my brother bought some chickens and they are cool too

I am so happy to have found you on youtube. I am off to university in a few weeks and i was starting to stress out, thinking that it was impossible to find a job that i would actually like. Your videos are very helpful as they are informative. I was never the best in school but i am ready to work harder and let my passion lead me to good grades. Keep making vids❤✌🌱

update more videos please!! this is the first wildlife biologist channel i found and its the best one. Really enjoy your videos and are very informative as well!

idk why but this made me want to be in this field even more lol

I go through a lot of this just while hunting or fishing and I also am always looking for plants that are edible and medicinal. Every time I'm always dodging bugs, swompy muddy areas, spider webs to face, branch or two to the face and i always love learning about the birds

When i'm older i'm planning to be an zoologist or vet i don't know which one

This honestly only makes me want to do it even more XD Thanks so much for this awesome video!

i’ve been on the fence looking through tons of videos but after watching this one i think i totally wanna

This is a great video, thank you for sharing! I'm just about to graduate as an animal biologist and videos like these definitely makes me excited about my future. Haha!

This was awesome!! Please post more field videos! :)

I just subscribed love your channel I am currently a freshmen undergrad with a major in biology school just started for me so for now I’m taking my prerequisites

Hi, I’m interested in becoming a wildlife biologist but I am scared of being alone in the wild. Would I always have to be alone?? Also how do you find your way back after being in the wilderness?

i really love the field work....

I can really relate to this video. We got this!

I’ll be going to an agriculture college soon and I cannot wait!!!

Working towards a master's in bio right now and researching post grad careers ! I really love your channel. When you're out in the field how often are you running solo vs with a partner ?

Ik its been a year but thank you for giving me a better understanding about what i am getting into

thanks for the video and greetings from ireland i am a mature student about to embark on my first year in a degree in wildlife biology . your video has given me positive motivation , thank you kindly

Your job looks so fun! 😃 I downloaded a PDF to feul my interest ☺

Always wanted to be a wildlife biologist. That is why I watched this video

Really cool insight! Hi btw! I’m your 800th subscriber! 😆

Wow! You Are The Beauty Of Nature.

Hello!! So, this may be a bit lengthy and scattered, but I just really want to write to you. I'll begin by saying HI!! My name is Brooke Huxell. I'm 15 and I found out about being a wildlife biologist around 2 years ago, and I decided that was what I wanted to become. Since then my love of nature and animals has continued to grow and grow. I did some research about what colleges have a good program for Wildlife Biology. The University of Montana repeatedly showed up. I had already developed a crush on Montana from a previous family vacation to Glacier National Park. In July of 2017, my mom, uncle, and brother all took a trip to tour the university! This was when I was just out of the eighth grade. Anyway, my crush on Montana developed into a strong love, basically an obsession. I loved the University and it seemed like they had so many great opportunities for field work and research. They have a on campus rock climbing gym, too! I love to climb. I still plan to go there and I would absolutely love to, but I am leaving myself room to find another college with a great program and opportunities. A bit after the time I discovered this magical dreamy career called Wildlife Biology, I found the KZfaq channel called Brave Wilderness. I LOVE THAT GUY. His videos on animal education and preservation have only fueled my flame for pursuing my love for animals. SO, let's get to now. Every once in a while I'll search "Wildlife Biology" on KZfaq with the only results being like 4 year old videos and I've seen them all now haha. So what I've begun doing is putting a filter on the search for recent uploads and I found YOU!! I promise I'm not creepy; just really really excited and happy. I've watched your video on how you got your career and it's been so helpful. I also watched your honest day video. You give me so much hope that it's actually really cool and possible to be a wildlife biologist! Even if you have to work on pipes first :) SO WORTH IT!! It seems, anyway :) I'm also vegan so it's so awesome to see our similarities! I also also just came back from a trip to Banff NP, and I fell in loooovvveeee! And to find out you've been in Alberta, I'm just overwhelmed with happiness. It's like I was meant to find this channel, not to be too dramatic or creepy haha. I honestly used to feel like maybe not a lot of people got into that field anymore but you've given me hope :) I suppose I'm writing this to express my excitement and also to tell you thank you, so much. I truly look forward to seeing all of the content you put out and will soak it up like a sponge. Do you have any advice? Have you heard anything about the University of Montana and their Wildlife Biology program? Does being a biologist secretly suck? Will I ever have a husband or will I become a hermit? I'm half kidding but actually serious because, I really want to be with someone and I'm curious how that is as a wildlife biologist. I appreciate it so much. THANK YOU! :)

Really more loved one and please take care of about your self and we all following your videos and motivational for us ...

Thanks for sharing these videos, glad I came across your channel.. I was wondering (a) what is the scariest encounter/job you have had to do in the field and (b) what are the pros and cons of a government job vs private companies? Maybe you could do a video on that?? :D

I’m really confused on what to major in😩 I want to be in some sort of environmental field, but I’m not sure if I want to be an environmental planner, wildlife biologist, or something completely different.

omg i want to major in wildlife. but i heard there is less jobs in this field. do you enjoy your job?

I want to go to this exact field That is why i took biology i love animals and nature

THANK YOU!

Hiii i fell very happy because i discovered this channel! I am going to study biology at a public university in my country Ecuador(southamerica) and sometimes I’m afraid of not choosing the best choice, because i know i love nature been in forests beaches mountains anywhere! And also i loveeeee animals so much that i have recently thought about being a vet but the idea of being in a room all day don’t make me happy, When searching for information i only found laboratory stuff but what you fo IS AMAZING THAT’S WHAT I LIKE but I don’t know if I’m going to gain money well or if I could get a job like that😔

Could you tell me how often you fly out places and typically how long you stay?

That reminds me of working in northern Alberta in some of the thicker spots. The end of day shower would practically clog the drain with smashed up mosquitoes from my hair lol.

Ok guys. I'm about to be señor in high school and i definitely want to be a wildlife biologist. man i got a worry bout money for college and volunteering and stuff. But it's worth it

I find this Job very interesting I just have on question: Are you most of the time in solo adventures?

Does repellent spray not work against the mosquitoes? Is there protective gear you could wear?

It’s odd that this seems like a pretty okay day. New subscriber here, I enjoy the content. Do you have any advice on a masters of natural resource stewardship?

Please tell me how to became a wildlife researcher and also wildlife biologist 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I would love to have a job like this although I am terrified of heights 😂 And the mosquitos are no problem, where i live we get them every single night and they bite hard. At least it's good to know at least these buggies are attracted to me 😂

Hi! I just wanted to ask. Is it common to befriend a beast that you're observing? Like those friendly beasts. Also is it allowed to have your own creature with you? I have a bird and I would love to take him on these fascinating journeys but It would be OK if he couldn't come.

I still want to do this, buy how often do you have to fly around on plains and stuff?

How much should one worry about not being able to find a job once they graduate college if they want to major in conservation Biology

Hello! When I’m older I want to become a Wildlife biologist or an ecologist. I was wondering how do I get a job as one? Thank you!

I love your sense of humour....lol.

Yeah I’m down to go into the wild

This seems exactly what I want to do. I am from Canada in Kelowna. Would love to speak with you further on what you went to school for etc!

Hey there! I have done my graduation from Biotechnology however I am drwan towards animals more is there an option that I can still get into wildlife biology and get jobs?? Some guidance will be helpful!

Can a zoologist do the same? Even though they observe animals in their natural habitat and zoos and aquariums?

I do that for fun, but considering going to school for it since they say do what you're passionate about. Only thing I would've done different is bring or get bug spray lol

The key to keeping the bugs off is to smoke cigars all day! Or burn some dried sage, smoke is your friend!

Animals!!! here I come!

Hey there! I have done my graduation in Biotechnology, so will there still be options open for me to persue my career as a wildlife biologist and get a good job, some guidance would be appreciated!!

I wanna be a wildlife biologist but im gonna have a problem with "construction"

couldnt get any more motivating than the last 10 seconds of the video lol, count me in tho

I have no idea what I want to do but I know I want travel and animals to be a big part of my life. How often are you out on the field?

Is it hard always travelling? I like to exercise and have a workout schedule I feel like all the travelling I would do can interfere with my health and fitness goals! Weird question I know

I wish I had field trips in school like that! Just enjoying the nature, walk in knee-deep swamps, stuck, get bitten by mosquitoes. Instead I had in high school boring tests. :( Which made me hate biology. I am still interested in the nature, though. As soon I get vaccinated, I am planning to go on hinking, to mountains and swamps.

In first ninety seconds, three foods or juices, nice. 🤗🤗🤗

Which is best , forest ranger or wildlife biologist ?

I am going start my pg study in agri business managment in canada and myself is an agricultural student but I want to be a wildlife biologist could you help me out what should I do to become one!?

It's so beautiful 💗💗

This looks way better than working security

Still worth it. Is it possible to have pets if you travel a lot for work? Or is it a bad idea because moving stresses them out? I have a bearded dragon. In the future I’m hoping to get a Tegu and a hognose snake, maybe a bigger sized snake. Maybe a dog.

Do you pay a lot of money for travel or does your job pay for it? Are there different types of wildlife biologist? If so, what is the best/recommend one? And is being a wildlife biologist hard if someone has a family? I want a family really bad when I grow up and I’m scared I’ll have to spend a lot of time away from them

I have the biggest dilemma.... I’ve always been an animal lover and I’m a scout, love being in nature etc. A job like this is my dream job, and I’ve also been interested in marine biology, zoology, or being a conservation biologist. The problem is that my other big passion in life is art. I draw all the time and right now I’m in art school (not really what it’s called here but you could sort of refer to it as my major). I hate that you sort of have to “decide” your future already, at such a young age (I’m sixteen) when that is only the small beginning of your life...

I have a few questions, would you say that most of competition for jobs is concentrated in the “city” jobs rather than in the middle of nowhere? I personally wouldn’t mind living near a national park or small city. I don’t know if this will in some way give me any advantage when looking for a job. Also I was wondering if Jobs such as working for a park conservancy identifying invasive plants and maintaining the park would be considered “relevant” experience towards being able to find internships which all tend to require some sort of experience during undergrad. Is there any known jobs in the field that I could do with just in associates in science that could help spice up my resume in the future whilst I continue my education? Also would you recommend internships/volunteer opportunities oversees as good or respected as much as experience in the states?While searching on the TAMU job board there are many opportunities for example in places like Africa, one for example I saw was for helping in daily duties caring for orphan rhinoceros at a sanctuary, I don’t know if that really counts towards “relevant” experience in this profession however so I am hesitant to inquire.

Very realistic haha one season I got covered in poison oak from a logging road gate I had to open and close

Gd wrt👍Very Appreciating

Hi, i have a question. I see you were wearing waders, with all the mosquitos and bugs, do you also normally wear a mosquito suit when you are out in the field in the summer?

Loved this video! Can you please tell me what salary to expect in the field of environmental science in Canada?

I'm planning on becoming a wildlife biologist so I'm already studying about animals even though I'm not that old yet😅

What are the chances of getting a job as a wildlife biologist?

So u do stuff for environmental consulting?

Would love to do this lol

Hey Kristina, Inspiring for a career such as this. I am in transition. I am in my last your in Photojournalism at SAIT in Calgary Alberta and I hope to continue my studies in Environmental Biology. There is something about being in the bush for a long periods of time, travelling to the destination, and making correct decisions (not assumptions). I am 38 and by the time I finish my studies, I should be 43 or 44. Do you think it is too late? I am enjoying your videos and sound advice.

Ackk! I can’t decide!! I wanna be a wildlife biologist and a palaeontologist. Someone help me

How often do you take the plane? and how long do you stay in one place?

Awesome

As a wild life biologists I was wondering how much you make, you seem to live very well.

Plz can you plz guide me about this kind of job I luv this job about traveling forest etc so plz tell me I'm student of environmental science at Pakistan plz plz plz guide me

i’ll take the insects over dealing with awful customers any day! can’t wait to start school for my degree :)

Pretty good depiction of what can happen in a day. But, did you get any tics?

Hello i hope you answer my questions I study Biology Bachelor in Turkey. I want to work and live in USA or Canada. Should i continue study biology and do masters phds or should i study another field? Will biology open the gates for american dream? and you said wildlife biologists laid off too much , why you didnt continue as an academian? is it hard?

LOL that face at 2:32

Question, Do wildlife Biologist pay for their own flights?

I’ve been interested in becoming a wildlife biologist however I’m quite worried that it’ll interfere with my rights from a vegan perspective. I don’t want to put an animal in a bad position (e.g. opening a dead one up, caging, killing, forcing in a harsh way). What do you think and what happened with you in university and your job in general? Did you ever come across an awkward situation with what you’re supposed to do in job terms and vegan rights? If so what did you do? By the way I loved your video x

Just curious, but whereabouts is this? It looks so similar to where i live in the Northwest Territories!

When through wet areas do you wear water boots

I would be afraid of encountering more intimidating wildlife such as bears, bobcats, ect., and I'm horrible with directions, no internal compass. This worries me.

I have a phobia of mice and rats. Will that sever my chances of success and/ or enjoying this job? Thank you so much.
