Why Pyctus Media? The Story Behind the Name

At Pyctus Media, we chose the African wild dog, or lycaon, as our emblem for a reason. This remarkable creature, often overlooked in popular culture, embodies the raw, untamed spirit of the wilderness. Unlike the polished narratives seen in movies like The Lion King, the lycaon represents the true essence of nature—brutal, beautiful, and unapologetically real.

The African wild dog is a symbol of resilience and teamwork, thriving in the harsh landscapes of the African savannah. It’s a formidable hunter, known for its incredible endurance and cooperative pack strategies. Yes, it hunts with a ferocity that can be unsettling, a reminder that nature isn’t always gentle. This raw depiction of life and death, the dust, the blood, the sweat, the despair, and the triumph, is precisely why we chose the lycaon as our symbol.

Nature is not a Disney movie. It is raw, it is real, and it is filled with challenges that test every creature within it. At Pyctus Media, we embrace this reality. We believe that to truly appreciate and protect our natural world, we must see it for what it is—unfiltered and unembellished. Our adventures, workshops, and courses are designed to immerse you in this authenticity, to show you the wild beauty and the harsh truths of the environments we explore.

Through our work, we aim to foster a deeper connection with nature and a stronger commitment to conservation. By understanding and respecting the true nature of wildlife, we can better appreciate the delicate balance of our ecosystems and the critical need to protect them.

Join us at Pyctus Media, where the wild is not just a backdrop but a protagonist. Let us guide you through the reality of nature, where every moment is a testament to the resilience and wonder of life itself.
