The purpose of this channel is to raise awareness about imperiled wildlife such as African Wild Dogs, and also to publicize my children's books.
This channel includes educational videos and travelogues about WILDLIFE, BUTTERFLIES, and BIRDS created by myself with original photographs and videos taken in South Africa, Namibia, Canada, the United States of America, and India, as well as pertinent information.
I also included a few photographs and videos from Shutterstock and Storyblocks. The music is from Movavi Video Editor, Soundcloud, and Storyblocks.
The videos also include my CHILDREN'S BOOKS and related videos: "Stripe's Busy Night in the Bushveld" - by Tanja Nayak, illustrated by Nate Myers about a honey badger and nocturnal animals, and "Spot's Busy Day in the Bushveld" - by Tanja Nayak, illustrated by Nate Myers about a cheetah and Africa's "Big Five" animals.
