Vladimir Dinets is a zoologist and author, known for his studies of Crocodilian behavior and of numerous rare animals in remote parts of the world, as well as for popular writings in Russian and English.

Biography

Dinets was interested in zoology from an early age, and was a winner of all-USSR Student Biology Olympics at Moscow State University.[1] However, due to his Jewish ancestry, he was unofficially banned from entering that university,[2] and obtained a master's degree in biological engineering from Moscow State Institute of Radio-engineering Electronics and Automation. In 1997 Dinets emigrated to the United States, and in 2011 obtained a Ph.D from University of Miami (adviser Steven Green).[3] Dinets maintains a popular bilingual blog on LiveJournal, and a website with a number of illustrated essays on biology, conservation and travel.
