First time posting here.
How do I get research funding for muh science if I haven’t even gone to college?

You generally don't.

The only way is to gain the favor and support of a wealthy benefactor.

Nothing of value scientifically has ever been discovered outside of a college, brainlet.

I wasn’t aware the dinosaur bones college kids study in their labs were discovered right there in that very lab.

I specifically want to study the behavior of wild animals in their natural state, especially in how much time they spend doing what activities. I gave the sbir site I search and it seems they’re not interested in what I am.

University degrees acts as a qualification certificate for a field in broad. You may have interesting ideas, but you're an insanely high risk candidate because you have no formal training. Given that there are people with your expertise who HAVE gone through the classes and probably have a feel for the research culture of their area, investors and funds are gonna flock to high aptitude students/grads and not your "cool concept from a guy who didn't ever do college" project.

I’m willing to fund research myself until I get a few publications done.
