A little about the critterman. I have over 50 years of critter experience to my credit and hundreds of zoology teaching hours to people from around the world. With this I have amassed not only a continuing thirst for critter knowledge but a desire to teach others all I can about the majesty and wonder of our natural world. Critter Science is a culmination of such knowledge. I have extensive hands on as well as book acquired intel on a plethora of animals. Whether they are on land, in the water, or take flight. While I would never claim to know everything about every animal, I will find out and report to you any question you ask about any and all critters.

My History

I previously owned and operated the world famous Ecto Critterz. I would travel all over and teach people of all ages, and from numerous countries around the world, about zoology, ecology, and environmental sustainability. At 1 time I had over 35 different species of critters in my care. The audience learned about, viewed, and held incredible exotic, animals, such as snakes, lizards, turtles, salamanders, scorpions, tarantulas, insects, and various mammals.

I did this for many years but, as my family grew and grew, I decided to switch my teaching to be internet-based only, to spend more time with my family. But teaching is in my blood and that critter bug will never leave me so long as I have breath in my lungs. So, with the creation of Critter Science I can still teach countless people, the world over about critters, but still spend time with my amazing family.

If you’re wondering what happened to the zoo I once had, most of the animals were re-homed to other zoos, educational facilities, and private collectors. Seeing as that was a lot of mouths to feed and feeding and caring for that many critters isn’t cheap. I currently still have a few species of critters in my care. And I love them like my family, because that’s how it always should be.

The bulk of the animals I cared for were rescues from various locales, and the animals were either originally being taken care of poorly or were injured and unable to fend for themselves in the wild. So, they could not be reintroduced back to their native homes. I took them in and successfully restored them to their intended glory and health.

I am often asked to identify critters from around the world, and if you happen to find a creature that you would like to know more about, you can reach out to me via this page and I’ll identify said critter for you, for FREE.

What is your favorite animal?

I am always asked the question of what is my favorite critter. Well, I love all animals. But… if I had to choose, I would say my favorites are the pygmy marmoset and the quokka.

If you want me to write an article about a critter that you don’t see on the site, you can request critter articles here. You don’t have to include the scientific name, just the common name is fine. But, to narrow it down, sometimes the scientific name is helpful; it’s just not necessary. All suggested critter articles are dedicated to the requestor. In other words, I will dedicate the request to you (using just your first name, for a degree of anonymity).
