Tropland Universe is an AI-native wildlife media property created by AI artist and creative director Josh Gottsegen. Known as the Digital Animal Kingdom, it produces cinematic wildlife films and character-driven content using artificial intelligence.
The visual approach emphasizes realism and narrative consistency. Animals are expressive without becoming cartoonish, allowing audiences to connect across cultures and age groups. Content spans short-form video, long-form cinematic pieces, still imagery, character concepts, and curated collections.
Tropland Universe operates as a scalable media brand designed for intellectual property development, licensing, and strategic brand collaboration.
