Red Wolves, Backyard Wildlife, & More!

In this episode, I speak with naturalist John Pollpeter. For 23 years, he has worked at the Woodlands Nature Station, a nature center in Kentucky, home to over 55 native species. Animals he works with include the critically endangered Red Wolf, one of the rarest carnivores on the planet. John is also blind, and discusses his journey and how he turned his disability, into an opportunity traveling the world. Other topics include backyard wildlife, bats, and how to live with venomous snakes!
