Dynamic introduction to Natural History, explained simple and visual way. All the art featured in my videos is original, I draw everything you see on them. Also, I'm always trying to keep the information and depictions of the animals updated and accurate at the time the video is released. Occasionally, other topics such as fictional or speculative creatures, pop culture or myths are also addressed.

-Videos are organized in different thematic series for a clearer understanding:

THE CLADISTICS SERIES: animals grouped by phylogenetic types.
THE CHRONOLOGY SERIES: animals are grouped by the time they lived in.
THE MAP SERIES: Natural History and paleontology matters visually explained through maps
THE TOP SERIES: animals listed by specific records (the largest, the most iconic, etc)
THE JURASSIC PARK/WORLD SERIES: differences between prehistoric animals in pop culture and science.
