With over 1.1 billion views and 7.4 million subscribers, Brave Wilderness, YouTube’s top-rated wildlife channel, is a one stop connection to a wild world of adventure and amazing up close animal encounters! Coyote Peterson, host of the Brave Wilderness animal adventure shows, is first and foremost an avid explorer and animal enthusiast! Growing up in rural Ohio, he developed his passion for animals and adventure while scouring nearby forests, swamps, and creek beds looking for whatever creatures he could get his hands on.

After developing his natural skills for storytelling while studying video production in college, he and business partner Mark Laivins designed the Brave Wilderness brand, through which they produce several shows including the Emmy Award Winning Breaking Trail, Beyond the Tide, Dragon Tails, Coyote’s Backyard and On Location.
