Welcome to the website of

Dr.

Tristan Guttridge

Behavioral Ecologist and Wildlife Presenter

Few people live their dreams. Tristan is one of those people that realized what he loved and was passionate about from an early age, and never looked back. His mother still has a good luck card Tristan wrote age-7, in it he wishes her to have a "sharky time" and signs off "lots of love your sharky son Tristan".  This almost innate passion for sharks and genuine intrigue and fascination of wanting to know why animals do what they do is what motivates and drives Tristan today. This website provides a platform to share Tristan's productive research career, highlighting conservation success stories, as well showcasing his ability to translate science to entertaining, yet informative cinema.
