Delia Owens is an American author and wildlife scientist based in Idaho. She has written numerous books about her life as a wildlife scientist working in Africa. Her first novel is Where the Crawdads Sing.
Delia grew up the daughter of an outside-girl in her mother who instilled a love in the outdoors in her from a young age. She learned not to be afraid of critters and grew up learning that Nature could be one of her very best friends. So it was no surprise that she went to the University of Georgia to receive a degree in Zoology. After receiving that she would move to the University of California in Davis to get her PhD in Animal Behavior. After finishing school she spent years working in Africa. First studying the lions of the Kalahari and later heading to the North Luangwa Valley of Zambia to study the elephants. After nearly twenty years in Africa, she moved to Idaho where she dedicates much of her time to the conservation of grizzly bears, wolves and wetlands.
