| I ONLY ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT PENGUINS. As a recognized penguin expert, I can authoritatively answer any questions about penguins - from biology, behavior, conservation, habitat or the impacts of global warming, to working in an aquarium setting and husbandry management etc. AGAIN, I ANSWER PENGUIN QUESTIONS ONLY - IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT OTHER ANIMALS, PLEASE ASK A DIFFERENT EXPERT. Thank you! | Available

| I'm an evolutionary biologist with a passion for animals of all types, so give me a try for questions about natural history, behavior, geographic range and evolutionary history.
If you would like me to identify a "mystery animal," be sure to tell me where you saw it (geographically).
I'm *not* an expert on comparative strengths of different animals (which is a question much more complicated than you might think!) nor bite forces, so if that's your interest I'm probably not the best person to ask.
*****The only questions I will ABSOLUTELY NOT answer are those asking "Which of these two animals--XXX or XXX--would win in a fight?" These hypothetical questions range from the impossible (Sorry, but Grizzly Bears and Gorillas don't even occupy the same *continent*.) to the utterly ridiculous (Someone actually once asked me who would win a fight between a Great White Shark and a tiger...). This type of question bespeaks a hostility towards non-human animals that I'd rather not dignify with an answer.***** | Available

| I can answer questions about wild mammals, as well as other wild animals. I can also answer questions on extinct animals and zoos.
I do not have expertise in animal medicine and care and cannot give advice on veterinary problems. Please contact a wildlife veterinarian or a wildlife charity or organisation if you find an injured wild animal. Please do not take wild animals out of the wild. This can be illegal and also very cruel, especially if you do not know how to look after the animal.
I do not agree with fights between different animals. Please do not ask me questions about them. | Available
