Peter Gros Biography

Peter Gros is a wildlife expert, conservationist, and television host known for his contributions to wildlife education and conservation. Gros joined the original "Wild Kingdom" team, co-hosting alongside Jim Fowler on the classic series and "Mutual of Omaha's Spirit of Adventure." His entry into television followed extensive fieldwork, including developing endangered species breeding programs and serving as a spokesman for wildlife conservation. Gros appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson," where he met Jim Fowler, which led to his television career.

Before his work in television, Gros held leadership roles at Marine World/Africa USA, serving as Director of Land Animals and Vice President. He established breeding programs for hundreds of endangered animals, developed a rehabilitation program for birds of prey, and created the largest captive breeding colony of ostriches in the United States. Gros also designed wildlife displays that allowed animals to roam free on islands while visitors observed from rafts, contributing to advancements in wildlife care and conservation.

As co-host of the Emmy-nominated series "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild" and its companion podcast, Gros shares conservation stories and highlights efforts to protect wildlife and habitats. He has participated in research expeditions to locations such as Lake Baikal in Siberia and the Amazon Basin, where he led educational trips to study rain forests. Gros has also examined the effects of ecotourism on wildlife in regions including Venezuela, Costa Rica, Belize, Mexico, and the Galapagos Islands.

In addition to his television work, Gros is involved in education and civic engagement related to conservation. He is a USDA licensed exhibition exhibitor and animal educator, and a member of organizations such as the American Zoo and Aquariums Association, Association of Wildlife Educators, and Zoological Association of America. Gros serves on the Board of Directors of the Suisun Marsh Natural History Association, is a trustee for the Cheetah Conservation Fund, and is president of the Green Valley Center for Wildlife Education. He has appeared on programs including "LIVE With Kelly and Ryan," "The Today Show," "The Tonight Show," and Animal Planet.
