Vladimir Dinets

I grew up in Russia, moved to the US in the late 90's, and received a PhD in Zoology from the University of Miami for my research on songs and dances of crocodiles and alligators. I am studying complex animal behavior and the natural history of rare, little-known animals. I've traveled in more than a hundred countries, mostly for my research, but also because I love travel. My books about nature and my travel diaries have been popular in Russia for the past twenty years; I am now making them available as Kindle editions. Dragon Songs, my first popular book in English, came out in 2014 and got a Gold Star from Publishers' Weekly, as well as excellent readers' reviews.
