Nathaniel “Coyote” Peterson was born on September 1, 1981, in Newbury Center, Ohio. From an early age, he developed an interest in animals and outdoor exploration, often catching various creatures. He pursued his education at Ohio State University, graduating with a BA in film in 2004. While not formally educated in biological science, Peterson has become a self-described animal expert, dedicated to sharing wildlife experiences and promoting conservation. He has a daughter, Olivia, who has appeared in his videos.
Peterson launched his YouTube channel, Brave Wilderness, in 2014, quickly gaining recognition for his educational content. The channel features several series, including “Breaking Trail,” “Dragon Tails,” “Coyote’s Backyard,” “Beyond the Tide,” and “On Location.” His work often involves documenting wildlife in diverse global locations such as the United States, Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, the Bahamas, and Costa Rica. A notable aspect of his content involves intentionally allowing himself to be stung or bitten by various insects and animals, including the bullet ant and executioner wasp, a practice he mostly ceased by 2020. This unique approach contributed to his channel achieving Guinness World Records in 2019 for the most-subscribed and most-viewed animal channel on YouTube.
His career expanded beyond YouTube with the launch of the Animal Planet series “Coyote Peterson: Brave the Wild,” which premiered in 2020. This series follows him on his adventures and continues his mission of wildlife education. Peterson has also authored several books on wild animals and adventure, starting in 2017. His team includes cameramen Mark Vins and Mario Aldecoa, who are also trained wildlife experts. In 2021, he participated in a video call with President Joe Biden and Anthony Fauci to advocate for COVID-19 vaccinations. His YouTube show, “Coyote Peterson’s Wild Field Trip,” was nominated for an Outstanding Host award at the Children’s and Family Emmy Awards in 2022.
