Episode Description from the Publisher

Coyote Peterson runs the largest wildlife channel on YouTube: 21.8 million subscribers, five billion views, an Emmy, and a body of work he describes as a mix of Steve Irwin, Steven Spielberg, and Bear Grylls. But who is he really? This week, Coyote drops by the studio to talk about his life and adventures -- and the occasional misadventure -- as he works to educate his viewers on the wild world that surrounds them. We get the three worst things he's ever felt, a brush with an Australian plant that resulted in six months of nerve damage, a twelve-foot Komodo dragon (that he decided to leave alone), and the Bigfoot episode that got him briefly declared a fraud by the national media.   LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE https://www.bravewilderness.com/ Coyote's Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@BraveWilderness⁩   Coyote's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coyotepeterson/ Coyote's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyotepetersonofficial That Bear Kid: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36400177/ Komodo Dragon episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkwlxY1iLXo David Blaine Cobra-Kiss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0naO3xh07s8   Copyright Outdoor Visions Media LLC, 2025 #podcast #coyotepeterson #bravewilderness #komododragons #wildlife
