Nikita Bedov
Nikita Bedov is a biologist, adventurer and wildlife photographer, specialising in venomous and exotic wildlife. He has worked in multiple habitats from jungles to coral reefs, but his current PhD project focuses on understanding the ecology and species interactions between mutual predators like mongooses and snakes, which in the wild are both capable of killing and eating each other.
Alongside academia, Nikita has been presenting and producing wildlife documentaries, as well as articles, under the name "Diary of the Adventurer", mainly focusing on snakes to show their beauty as an animal that is often feared and misunderstood.
