Meet the Expert: Alex Re, host of the On Wildlife podcast
Alex Re is our host and animal connoisseur.
His favorite animal is a whale. As a child, he dreamed of being a whale watcher until he learned that he is unable to stay on a boat for longer than 5 minutes without getting sick. So, he switched his focus to teaching.
Currently, he is a biology teacher for high school students. He is also an animal enthusiast and lover of all things nature.
He started this podcast to inform everyday people about the Earth’s most amazing creatures and bring awareness to some of the problems that they are facing today due to human interactions. He’s so excited to bring the wild to you! And don’t forget to check him out on TikTok to learn even more!
