In this episode, host Corbin Maxey chats with Chanel Hason from the Elakha Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring sea otters to their historic range along the Oregon coast. Learn why these charismatic marine mammals are keystone species, how their absence has led to an explosion of destructive sea urchins, and why the loss of kelp forestsis a growing environmental crisis.

Anthropomorphism And How It Impacts Our Understanding Of Animals

In this episode, I have a discussion with wildlife educator, Tijana Selak about anthropomorphism and how it impacts our understanding of animals. We discuss the bad (how anthropomorphizing can negatively influence wildlife research and rehab, how its use through social media can be dangerous, and how it can hurt the work that accredited zoos are trying to do), and the good (how it builds empathy towards animals, and can benefit conservation efforts), as well as exploring examples in our everyday lives, how to properly interpret what animals are feeling or communicating, and how misinterpreting behavior can lead to dangerous conclusions.

In this episode, I sit-down with my friend and zookeeper, Matt Price. Matt has been working in the zoological field for 20 years, 7 of which has been with polar bears. We discuss the incident at the Detroit Zoo where 20 year old female polar bear, Anana, was killed by Nuka, a male polar bear. Topics include the aggressive nature of polar bear breeding, what preventive measures are in place to prevent accidents like this, and what it’s like to care for polar bears in human care.
