He calls himself Fossil Daddy, though prefers to keep his real identity under wraps. He is, according to his Instagram, a scientist, and describes himself as a LGBTQA+ Fossil Hunter & Fossil Pokémon Champion, Paleontological Father Figure, Twitch Affiliate/New YouTuber, and Educational thirst traps. "The queer content creator has nearly 130,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok thanks to his cheeky photos and videos that show him hunting for ancient fossils and clapping back at online trolls in his thick Boston accent," reports the Daily Mail. In an interview with the HuffPost, the hunky paleontologist posts his educational social media posts with a difference: "They're usually accompanied by his sculpted arms and hairy, tattooed chest." But, as he explains, "I get this comment pretty frequently, not verbatim," Daddy says. "'The thirst traps brought me in, but the education kept me here.'" Fossil Daddy spends days at a time uncovering ancient fossils that tell the story of how non-human life evolved on Earth. After the trips, and sometimes during, he posts about his findings, the HuffPost writes. "When you split a rock down the middle and you find a fossil, you are the first pair of eyes to ever see this animal — or plant, or whatever it may be — in hundreds of millions of years," Daddy says. "And that never ceases to blow my mind." But he admits to getting pushback from creationists, which he handles in a frank manner. "They're definitely very threatened by my presence, so maybe I should turn up the TikToks a little bit more," he tells the HuffPost. But it took him time to reach that level of confidence. Once he did, he trolled back, debunking them point-by-point. "If you really, truly believe this, then you're not that bright," Daddy says in one video reply to a creationist.
