Who Runs Animal Answer Guide?
Animal Answer Guide was founded by Stephen Milton, who is the lead editor and writer for the website.
Stephen created Animal Answer Guide after doing Internet research on animals. During his fact-finding mission, he discovered conflicting information online about a particular species he was trying to learn about—the beaver.
One website indicated that beavers were omnivores and would eat the meat of other wildlife. But that statement was not true. Beavers are herbivores that only eat plants and vegetation, and would never eat meat of any kind.
Stephen also found contradictions among other animal facts on other websites which made it hard to get the truth about certain animal species.
After noticing a large number of sources contradicting each other about animals, Stephen decided it was time to create an ultimate—and accurate—resource of online information for common animal species. That way, students, parents, teachers, and anyone else on the planet who has questions about animals, could get factual answers from a trustworthy source.
Stephen is dedicated to posting new content on the Animal Answer Guide website on a weekly basis with the intent of answering the most common questions people have about popular animal species. While you likely won’t find much information about uncommon animals like the Tidewater Mucket (a rare invertebrate not many people know exist), you will find a lot of information about common animals like bears, bobcats, hawks, and snakes, which are are common species in the animal kingdom that people want answers about.
