As you know, OhMyDogs aren’t just dog trainers, we are dog nerds. Most of us have a scientific degree in an animal- or behaviour-related field.

Iva (Dr. Njunjic to give her her full title), for example, is not only a dog walker in Leiden (https://www.facebook.com/petsittingleiden/)  and a behaviour coach in training with us, but she is also a zoologist.

On Monday, she published a paper sharing her discovery of not one, not two, but THREE new insect species!!!

One of them was named after dedicated environmental activist Leonardo di Caprio. Here is is receiving the news: https://nos.nl/artikel/2229889-borneose-beekkever-voortaan-bekend-als-grouvellinus-andrekuipersi.html

Well done, Iva!
