Jaguars In Arizona

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Melanie Culver, a scientist from USGS Fish and Wildlife Cooperative Research Unit and The University of Arizona. Dr. Culver and her team study jaguars in southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. Since 2011, they have studied jaguars by using camera traps. We cover a variety of topics including how many jaguars are currently in the United States, what they’re eating, how they co-exist with cougars, human and wildlife conflict, the border wall, and much more!

Episode #111: Wolverines!

In this episode, I interview Rebecca Watters, executive director of The Wolverine Foundation. It’s an organization comprised of wildlife scientists with a common interest in wolverines. We discuss the rare wolverine and its elusive habits, behavior, and diet. We then cover the cultural significance of wolverines throughout history and why they have earned such a bad reputation. Rebecca also recounts her personal encounter with a wolverine in camp (it’s a good story)! and she goes over mind-blowing recent findings including wolverines and their excellent parental care! You won’t want to miss this interview!

Episode #87: The "Big Bad Wolf"

For well over a millennia, wolves have been depicted as ferocious, blood thirsty, monsters. In reality, wolves are intelligent animals that are much more similar to us than once thought. They are also a vital part of the ecosystem that keep prey populations healthy and in check.

In this episode, I interview carnivore biologist, Aspen. She’s the founder of POUNCE Conservation, an organization that uses research, science, and compromise to save America’s wolves. We discuss a variety of different topics including wolf predation on livestock, “surplus killing”, elk fatalities, and wolf hunting.

During the interview, he explains how new innovative techniques like attaching “critter cams”, have opened up the once private world of the Antarctic’s most elusive predator. Other topics include traveling to Antartica, penguins, and recent findings about Leopard Seal ecology.
