Early Life & Biography
Born in Newbury Center, Ohio, on 1 September 1981, Peterson showed interest in animals from an early age. Growing up in Newbury gave him an added advantage to explore the wilderness. He found interest in spending time outdoors and chasing animals, catching bullfrogs, and turtles. So as a child, he always felt connected with the wildlife. On his YouTube channel, Brave Wilderness, he admitted that the snapping turtles are his favorite, and from early childhood, he was enthralled by this particular reptile.
He studied at the Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin High School, a college-prep school, and decided that he would like to pursue video editing. He joined Ohio State University and graduated in 2004. It was at the university that he refined his skills as a storyteller and, with this new form of art, started recording his wildlife adventures and later started posting them on YouTube.
Personal Life
Nathaniel Peterson, alias Coyote Peterson is a rather private person. He prefers to keep his personal life away from the prying eyes of the media. However, it is known that he is happily married, and the couple has an adorable daughter, Pup Peterson, who was born in 2008.
Coyote Peterson, on one episode on Brave Wilderness, also shared how he came to be nicknamed “Coyote.” He and his sister would go out in the wilderness, and Peterson would chase the road runners as he was sure they would lead him to the horny lizard (one of the most intriguing reptiles that caught his childhood fancy). His mother noticed his actions and related it to the famous Warner Bros cartoon – Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, and that is how he got his nickname.
