As Ranae was preparing to study the ecological impact of beavers on an Oregon river she was approached for a scientific role of a very different type: co-hosting the Animal Planet TV show Finding Bigfoot as the resident Skeptical Scientist.
While she doesn’t believe Sasquatch is a biological, undiscovered species—earning her the nickname “the Ranaesayer” — Holland brought her scientific expertise, field skills, and love of the wilderness to investigate alleged sightings around the globe. It was through that experience she discovered her true mission: sharing the power of curiosity to inspire the next generation of naturalists and scientists.
