How do I become a wildlife host?
I can honestly say that I do not believe there is one correct path to becoming the host or presenter of a wildlife show. Although I dreamed to become a host since I first saw wildlife programs as a young girl, I had no idea it would actually happen. I remember googling “how to become a wildlife host,” when I was in college with little results. My best advice would be to read my answer to,”How do I work with animals?” I did every one of these steps; some I failed at and others I found new strengths.
I would also look into the diversity of career paths or biographies of:
Joan Embry,
Lucy Cooke
Julie Scardina
Danni Washington
Chris Morgan
Casey Anderson
Bertie Gregory
Bob Poole
Steve Irwin
Coyote Peterson
Rick Schwartz
