About Pirula

Who is Pirula? Biography, age and background

Pirula, born Paulo Miranda Nascimento in 1980, is a native of São Paulo, Brazil. He developed a passion for nature early in life, leading him to pursue a career in biology at the Mackenzie Presbyterian University. He later earned his master's and doctorate degrees in Zoology from the University of São Paulo (USP), specializing in the evolution of crocodiles. His academic background provides the rigorous foundation for the high-quality scientific discourse he provides to the public.

How Pirula became famous

Pirula began his YouTube journey in 2006, but his breakthrough came in the early 2010s as he pioneered long-form educational content in Brazil. He became a reference for skepticism and science during a time when digital misinformation was rising. His ability to explain complex topics like climate change and evolution in a conversational yet thorough manner garnered him a dedicated following, eventually establishing him as a central figure in the Brazilian educational internet community.

What Pirula posts

His content is characterized by its length and depth, often leading to the internet joke that 'one Pirula' is a specific unit of time. He covers subjects ranging from paleontology and environmental issues to religion and social politics, always through a scientific lens. His best-known videos include deep dives into fossil records and debunking pseudoscience. The style is minimalist, focusing on his narration and logical arguments rather than high-end visual effects.

Pirula business ventures, brands and endorsements

Beyond his primary YouTube channel, Pirula is a co-host of the podcast 'Os Três Elementos' and frequently collaborates with other educational platforms. He is a published author, having co-written 'Darwin sem Frescura' with Reinaldo José Lopes, a book aimed at making evolutionary theory accessible. He also earns through public speaking engagements at universities and science conferences, and he participates in the ScienceVlogs Brasil project to promote verified scientific content.

Pirula net worth (estimated) and how the money is made

There are no reliable public estimates regarding Pirula's exact net worth. His income is primarily generated through YouTube ad revenue, crowdfunding platforms like Patreon and Apoia.se, and book sales. Additionally, he earns through sponsorships on his podcast and fees from educational lectures and appearances. His financial model is largely supported by a loyal community that values independent, non-sensationalist scientific education.

Films, TV and signature work

Pirula's signature work is his 'Canal do Pirula' on YouTube, which serves as a massive digital archive of scientific knowledge. He has appeared as a guest expert on various Brazilian television programs and documentaries to discuss environmental and biological issues. His book 'Darwin sem Frescura' remains one of his most significant contributions to popular science literature in Brazil, bridging the gap between academia and the general public.

Where to watch

Fans can primarily find his work on his main YouTube channel, 'Canal do Pirula,' where he uploads his characteristic long-form videos. For more casual and conversational content, he is a staple on the 'Os Três Elementos' podcast, available on YouTube and major audio streaming platforms. He also maintains an active presence on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), where he shares scientific updates and personal insights.

Awards and milestones

Pirula has reached significant milestones in the digital education space, including surpassing 450,000 followers on Instagram and over 1 million subscribers on YouTube. He won the Shorty Award for Best Blogger in the past, reflecting his early influence in the blogosphere. His most lasting achievement is the creation of ScienceVlogs Brasil, a seal of quality that helps users identify trustworthy scientific information online.

How big is Pirula's audience?

Pirula has 451.7K followers in total, which puts this profile in the mid-tier band (100k – 500k followers). The largest single audience is on Instagram with 451.7K followers — about 100% of the total reach.

What 451.7K combined followers actually means

Who follows Pirula?

Pirula is based in Brazil and posts in Portuguese. For brands that usually means the core audience follows the same market and language, with a long tail from everywhere else — big accounts rarely stay local.

The content sits in education and tech & science, so the people watching are self-selected for those interests. That is the useful part of a niche profile: a mid-size account inside the right category often beats a much larger general account, because the audience already cares about the subject.

If you need the same audience profile in another market, the country and language lists on CreatorFanBase let you line up comparable creators side by side instead of guessing.

Working with Pirula

If you are shortlisting Pirula for a campaign, these are the facts worth carrying into the brief. Everything here is stored data, refreshed on a schedule rather than typed in once.

A practical sequence: check the lead platform matches where your buyers are, check market and language, open the official account to see recent posting frequency, then ask for a media kit and rate card directly.

How we verify Pirula's numbers

Pirula's counts come from the platforms themselves via instagram public profile and are refreshed on a schedule; the most recent check was Oct 16, 2026. When a platform blocks a read, we keep the last verified number and show where it came from instead of filling the gap with an estimate.

How often the numbers are refreshed

Large jumps are treated as suspect: a sudden drop past our safety threshold is held back for review rather than published, which is why the numbers here tend to be lower-drama than screenshots circulating elsewhere. Found something out of date? The profile links on this page go to the official accounts, so the live number is always one click away.

Related questions

Is Pirula a real verified account?
Yes — Pirula's profile on CreatorFanBase is checked against the live platform pages linked above, and follower numbers come from public platform data rather than self-reported claims. If a link ever breaks we drop the number instead of guessing.
When were Pirula's follower numbers last updated?
The most recent recorded check was Oct 16, 2026. Counts are refreshed on a rolling schedule from public platform data, and a sudden unexplained drop is held back for review rather than published.

Is Pirula gaining or losing followers?

Follower growth is best judged across several comparable monthly checks, not a few days of snapshots. CreatorFanBase does not yet have enough monthly history to call a reliable rise or fall for Pirula; the current platform totals above remain the clearest view of audience size.
