Pat Spain

Pat Spain is a wildlife biologist, cryptozoologist, biotech expert, TV presenter, key-note speaker, author, and cancer survivor with a passion for adventure. He is always enthusiastically seeking his next great escapade, and the opportunity to add to the ever-growing list of “things that have bitten or stung me”. As the great-nephew of the "Prophet of the Unexplained" Charles Fort, Pat is carrying on a family tradition by questioning mainstream science, considering unusual explanations for bizarre phenomena, and investigating those things most people write off as impossible. In the course of his journeys, Pat has been charged by a silverback gorilla, initiated into a remote Amazonian tribe by participating in the most extreme ceremony in the world, been 1,000 feet under the ocean in a three-man-sub, nearly been shot down in a helicopter, lain in a pit of 200,000 snakes, and spent up to 19 hours a day inside a sterile bubble running experiments in a space suit in a state-of-the-art biotech lab. Millions have witnessed Pat’s exploits on Animal Planet’s KOTJ2, Nat Geo’s Beast Hunter, and Travel Channel’s Legend Hunter. He has also served as keynote speaker at the Royal Geographical Society in London, NASA, and multiple international universities. Pat currently lives just north of Boston with his wife, two kids, and an ever-expanding menagerie of creatures.
