Niche

Wildlife mysteries and animal behavior from a retired field biologist

Audience

Viewers who like wildlife mysteries, bear and predator stories and first-person field-biologist storytelling, probably US-based (inferred from the title, the about text and the keywords; there are no audience statistics).

Avatar

• Realistic avatar
• A photorealistic older man with swept-back grey hair, a trimmed grey beard and glasses, in an olive-green outdoor jacket. The avatar is a selfie-style frame with a backpack strap and binoculars; the thumbnail is a head-and-shoulders cut-out pointing at the camera.

Format

One long first-person wildlife mystery (about 18 min): a cold-open field discovery, a common belief that proves wrong, clues from the biologist's notebook, a twist, then a closing question to viewers.

Typical length

About 18 min for the story format; one 3-min dog-walk clip is off-format

Content pillars

• Bear, wolf and cougar encounters
• Unexplained animal behavior and migration shifts
• Trail-camera and tracking-data discoveries
• Field-notebook wildlife stories

Thumbnails

The story video's thumbnail puts the persona at lower left, pointing at a dark cinematic bear scene, under a three-word all-caps caption in white and red. The other upload uses a plain video frame of a leashed black dog, with no persona or text.

Why it works

• The one story video logged 2,671 views and 16 likes by its publish day (Oct 12); the off-format dog-walk clip has 33 views
• A credential hook in the about text and the opening narration: 35 years as a field biologist tracking bears, wolves and cougars
• A curiosity-gap title about what is hunting black bears in Montana, matched by a dramatic bear-scene thumbnail with a three-word caption
• The script runs as a mystery with a correction: the town blamed a mountain lion, the notebook shows otherwise, and the close asks viewers a question
• Specific field detail (Rocky Mountain Front, bite punctures under 2 inches apart, a collared 3-year-old bear) gives the story a documentary feel
