Episode #119: Pangolins!

In this episode, we highlight one of the world’s most unusual and trafficked animals, the pangolin. I sit-down with wildlife conservation professional, Lauren Ayres. She’s the pangolin conservation coordinator for the Global Conservation Force (GFC) and currently an educator at one of the nation’s most reputable zoos. We discuss pangolins, the Coronavirus, illegal wildlife trade, the ethics of wet markets, and why we should conserve the world’s only scaly mammal. Other topics include Netflix’s ‘Tiger King’ and Lauren’s early beginnings at a big cat rescue.

In this episode, I interview Joe D’Angeli also known as New Jersey’s Batman. Joe has been working with bats for over 30 years and currently runs the Wildlife Conservation and Education Center in Garfield, New Jersey. http://www.njbatman.com We discuss the Coronavirus, why Joe believes he may have gotten it back in early January, and how bats are NOT to blame for the virus. We then discuss wet markets, wildlife trafficking, and zoonotic diseases. Other topics include Joe’s take on “Tiger King”, “Blackfish”, and the ethics of horse racing.

Animals to the MAX is back and all-new just in time for Halloween with “Batman”, Joe D’Angeli. Joe has been working with bats for over 25 years and currently runs the WILD Life Conservation and Education Center home to over 40 bats in Garfield, New Jersey. We discuss Joe’s early passion for bats and how that led him to acquire his first one 25 years ago. Joe also covers common misconceptions people have about bats and the benefits they provide. Other topics include bat intelligence, husbandry, and how he’s preparing for the biggest night of his life, speaking at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
