Dr. Wildlife
CONSERVATION BIOLOGIST AND FURSUITER BASED IN DALLAS, TEXAS
GET TO KNOW ME I’m Dr. Wildlife - a Conservation Biologist based in Dallas, Texas. |
I'm Dr. Wildlife, often referred to simply as "Doc", a conservation biologist who has been living in the Dallas area since 2014. Though my days are mainly spent conducting conservation research, I find relaxation in being involved in the anthropomorphic community known as the furry fandom. Despite being relatively new to the fandom, I have become increasingly involved with meet organization in the DFW area and serve in a management role for two furry conventions. I am also an avid volunteer with local children and animal-focused charities around the world. My love of animals is only surpassed by my dedication to the local fur community.

Growing up on a rural farm fostered my love for all things outdoors and animal-related. After assisting our local veterinarian in caring for our farm animals throughout my high school years, I quickly realized an animal-related career was the path for me.
|
Although my life started out simple down a dirt road in Arkansas, my path has led me to working at accredited zoos, leading non-profit organizations, and even volunteering at animal facilities half way around the world. I now have 10 years of experience in my career. I love to talk about and inspire others to follow their dreams just as I did mine.

Despite how I may appear when doing public speaking, I am a relatively shy person who has never felt entirely comfortable with expressing myself. Throw me into one of my fursuits, though, and I am suddenly able to relax and be goofy again.
Joining the fandom has led me to a way of expressing myself which I never thought I would be able to do. I have also found an amazing network of friends who I often consider to be a type of family to me. By donating my time and skills to conventions, I feel like I am giving back to the community who has given so much to me. By organizing so many local meets in the DFW area, I hope to show others just how amazing this fandom is so they too can find a way to relax and express themselves just as I have. |
