I initially started this channel because I came across a lot of topics from books, articles or even videos from other languages that didn’t always have a good video in English. It felt like such a shame that some of these things weren’t seen more broadly and I wanted to share great content with the world.

I studied psychology and have a love for nature so this channel primarily focuses on animal behaviour. I enjoy reading books and research papers and try to make them easily accessible for everyone.

The channel is focused on:
- Creating quality, well researched videos about animals and animal behaviour.
- Answering “why” things happen.
- Exciting research.
- Breaking down research papers and studies (which can be quite dry! But have great content) and sharing it with you.
- Maybe topics on human behaviour in the far future if there is interest for that too. But focus will be on animal behaviour for now.
