DAY IN THE LIFE OF A WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST // Habitat Assessments 

Ellephants!

Maybe wolves :) Love your videos!

Buffalo or other big herbivores

Snakes

Any type

Oh that’s so amazing!! It’s a small world, but I think you’re the first EBE major ive ran into outside of school though ☺️☺️

How’s it going for you? I also want to become one and am curious what it’s like

How's it going now?

Same

Then just do it

yeah same, but i worry that i'm not smart enough to be able to get a job in the field ): do you need to be good at math to study wildlife biology?

you probably dont need to use it but you probably still need good grades

​@@themomandpopyoutubeshop923 well i just need to study a lot then lol, currently im just trying to pass the class

I’ve finally found my group of people ❤ I want to be a biologist 🍀💚🌿

I just saw this rn but how’s it going so far? It’s my second semester in college but I’m majoring in child and adolescent development, I have always loved children and nature but I have no idea what I would do if I worked with nature in the future, any tips?

How you have changed your stream from Engineering to Wildlife Biology?

Maybe you will be able to give me advice. So i really like biology, i do. But i also love astronomy, so I've taken computer science maths as my stream for my last two years of highschool. But I'm having doubts, like you. Because i do love wildlife and studying about wildlife. I don't know what to do, I've already started school.

JR Ewing same or an neurosurgeon

@@savannahclaytor7987 Hope you get there.

what is a herpetologist ??

@@emmageiselman7914 Someone who studies snakes.

@@jrewing1512 not snakes only EVERY REPTILE

Thank you!!! God chem was so awful for me lol but a study tips video is such a good idea. Thanks!

Check out Melissa Marabel on youtube she makes really good Chem videos.

Yeah I was so happy when I found out that a job like this exists. I'm a bit worried though because I'm currently in art school and I don't know what is required to continue studying wildlife biology after..

Welcome!

Yes this is highly requested so it will be soon 😊 This is a rare day I was alone because I was so close to a road but field safety is so important!

Yes, I even think about a person following.

I just noticed your orange cat peacefully sleeping in the background! AWWW! 😻

Thank you! I think it’s cool too. And yes tiger is such a sweet boy 🐯

You can do it! :)

I'm 13 too!!

me too !!

Yay so exciting! Thank you for sharing. In this job I only do ~10% of my time or less in the field. My last job I did more like 75%.

@@kristina_lynn What types of jobs positions are primarily focused on field research instead of office work? Thank you again for being so helpful! :))

1년전 댓이지만 전 지금 같은 마음으로 최근 정보를 찾아보고 있어요. 혹시 현재 찾으신 곳이나 나라가 있나요?

Great question! I take time for myself even at work. I definitely have to get through the number of kilometres/surveys by the end of the day but I do take breaks in nature to just enjoy. Some examples are I’ll take a long time to watch a bird nest, or animals playing, so it’s half work and half enjoyment. Also, in the summers I enjoy picking wild fruits so I do that as I walk.

Thanks for acknowledging that ❤️ it’s sometimes tough to prioritize videos but I love seeing people’s response to them

Thanks for the visit!

When you earn your bachelor degree is it allowed to be used in other states

@@independentsoul3705 yes

Bro kis uni se ho ?

Yeah me too

My sister is a marine biologist and I'm in school to be a wildlife biologist

Which do you enjoy more, being on land or being in the water? Also- what animals do you find the most interesting? I wanted to be a wildlife biologist my entire life (I actually graduate in two weeks with the degree, I’m so excited) and when people asked me why I didn’t go into marine biology, these were basically what I answered: I prefer being out in the woods watching animals there rather than being on a boat or scuba diving. Also I have always been fascinated by mammalian predators and amphibians. I still love sea animals and love interacting with them, I just enjoy land animals more. I hope it helps 😊

@@ladybugjournal40 omg congratulations! I’m interested in going to school to become a wildlife biologist and I just wanted to ask you if a lot of math was involved in this career-that’s like the only thing keeping me from making a decision. Also does this career involve traveling a lot? Or are you confined to a single area your entire career? Sorry for all the questions I am very curious

@@jordansistena4662 ​ @Jordan Sistena I definitely understand the math question as that's where I struggle as well and was a major concern of mine getting into all of this. There is some math involved as statistics is a part of the job. However, I find that it is manageable. When I took a class on biological data was actually the moment math started to get easier for me because someone finally put it into something I was going to use... not all of the 'imaginary numbers' and math theory stuff that still doesn't make sense to me. As for the traveling it really depends on the job you get. Most of the time you start out getting seasonal jobs and internships before getting a solid permanent position, however this isn't always the case. When you do get a permanent job it can sometimes move around a bit, either around a state or country. Though a lot of permanent jobs are long term research projects of a specific species or area. Hope this helps, and stay curious! :)

I definitely see more birds than I do bears, wolves, cougars...however, the signs of other inhabitants of the forest are all around you :) fairly common to see bear rub trees, caribou tracks but not see the individual who left it.

Everybody thinks that wildlife surveying is about the big animals, but in reality you need to able to ID birds and plants more than anything. Especially in places with lots of invasive plants and multiple local threatened plant species.

Welcome welcome 😊

Hello, I am a freshman in college and I'm also struggling to choose between marine biology and zoology. I was wondering if you figured it out?

@@estelarodriguez7933 Yes...I ended up choosing something completely different -> Interactive Media Design. I'd like to help researchers in the future to spread awareness about nature and how we are destroying it. Hope you figure it out soon.

I'm from california!

Not unless it was for a wildlife photography or maybe a non-profit communications position. I've never had any need to take professional photos of wildlife outside of my RU-vid channel/social media. Drone could be more useful as they're sometimes used by surveyors but still not that common as there are restrictions around their use to study wildlife.

wow same!! i found that a wildlife biologist would be my dream job, but im also very passionate about art. i'm currently in art school and thinking about studying wildlife biology abroad afterwards, but i worry that im not smart enough to work in the field ): also i have no idea how to transition from an art program to studying biology, what the qualifications are etc.. ugh it's rly confusing, i would love to talk w u if you want

@@elsie4802 oh my Goddd i live art too🥺i love music theater and everything ofcource i would live to talk to u😍

Gis

Usually I’m working with another person at least! And then communicating with any construction monitors. Definitely a lot of communication I’m rarely alone

awesome!

Meant to say I’m also 48

Like archeological site? I haven’t personally yet! But it happens quite a bit

Bachelors! It took quite a lot of time and work to get my first job
