Secrets of the Museum: Predators

Tyus Williams (Author) Tyus D. Williams is a wildlife ecologist and science communicator with a focus on carnivores. He's particularly intrigued by the influence predators have on the wildlife and people around them. Born in Southern California, Tyus moved to Georgia and was passionate about wildlife from the age of six. He grew up watching his childhood role models Jeff Corwin and Steve Irwin on TV, and knew he wanted to be a biologist when he got older. Tyus has tracked jaguars in Belize and surveyed salamanders in the Appalachian mountains, and is studying for his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley. Tyus has previously written books for Neon Squid, including Big Cats (A Day in the Life).Hannah Bailey (Illustrator) Hannah Bailey is an award-winning artist and illustrator living and working in Somerset. Hannah's illustrations begin with pencil sketches that are traced and each tiny shape and segment hand-cut into a stencil. She then uses vibrant inks to fill the shapes with texture and colour, digitalises the elements and rearranges them into a final composition. Hannah is inspired by the natural world, folklore and history, specialising in non-fiction children's books as well as editorial and food illustration.
