Bigfoot Forensics talks with Dan Nedrelo about his wild experiences

Welcome to another episode of Bigfoot Forensics, where science meets the strange. Today, we're joined by someone whose life work spans rainforests, reptiles, and rare moments captured through the lens—Dan Nedrelo.

Dan is a nationally recognized environmental educator, wildlife photographer, and herpetologist with over four decades of experience in the field. His photography has been featured in more than 200 books and magazines, and his work has taken him across the globe—from the forests of Costa Rica to the rugged outback of Tasmania and the remote river systems of Wisconsin. He’s led field expeditions, taught countless students and educators, and worked as a contract biologist and keynote speaker for organizations including the Wisconsin Science Teachers Association.

Whether he’s photographing the wild or coordinating with global magazines on natural history features, Dan’s passion lies in connecting people to the natural world. His deep background in herpetology and conservation, combined with his artistic eye, gives him a unique perspective on the creatures many overlook—and the ones that just might be out there, waiting to be discovered.
