How we work

Sources

Every factual statement in a case file comes from the agency that recorded the footage, from the published study, or from a news report that cites them. The sources are linked at the bottom of each page. When two sources give different numbers, we use the figure from the agency's own dive log or data release.

Images and footage

We use only footage that is in the public domain or released under CC0, and we credit it on the page. We crop frames and may add one arrow to point at the animal. We do not otherwise alter what the camera recorded.

AI tools

We use AI tools to help research, draft and edit text, and a synthetic voice narrates our videos. Each fact is checked against the linked source before publication. We never use AI to create or change footage.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, write to contact@wildevidence.com. We correct errors on the page and note what changed.

Advertising

This site is supported by advertising. Advertisers have no say in what we publish, and ads are labeled.
