A note from Charles:

Howdy, my name is Charles Dion. I’ve lived all around the U.S., but I ended up earning my degree at a school in central Florida. In May of 2025, I graduated with the privilege of being named co-valedictorian with a degree in Anthrozoology and a minor in Education.

My true passion resides in all things Crocodilian; feel free to talk to me about them anytime! My dream is to be a professor specializing in crocodilian ecology and biology.

When it comes to scientific issues, particularly those that relate to animals, I am uniquely suited and enjoy investigating problems through the “human angle,” since, no matter where in the world the problem is or the species around which it revolves, there is always a human component.

In addition, I am also a huge geek. I’d be happy to spend hours talking about Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings!
