My name is António Cotão. I am a biologist in a wildlife recovery centre in Olhão. I am from Portalegre and came to Faro about 7 years ago to study in the university. Right now, I'm living in Faro with my sister.

I am quiet, friendly, respectful, gentle and not very talkative...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like music but I'm not good at defining musical genres. I hear mostly alternative music. Some of my favorite bands/artists are Foo Fighters, Artic Monkeys, The Black Keys, Pearl Jam, Eddie Vedder, and portuguese bands like Linda Martini, Diabo na Cruz, Noiserv and more.

Movies: my IMDB's account tells me that I have more than 800 films seen so it's difficult to choose one. But I really like action, crime, adventure and drama movies, especially when based on real facts.

Books: "On the origin of species" by Charles Darwin; José Rodrigues dos Santos, Daniel Silva, ...
