Anthropomorphism And How It Impacts Our Understanding Of Animals

IMG_2969.JPG

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.

Crocodile Talk!

IMG_2386.JPG

In this episode, I sit-down with the co-founder of the Crocodile Research Coalition (CRC), Dr. Marisa Tellez. Based in Belize, Marisa founded the CRC to help change the perception of crocodiles in Belize and help conserve them. Marisa talks about the two species of crocodile found in Belize, the American and Morelet’s Crocodile. She talks about her conservation work, close calls, crocodile cannibalism, and why we all need to learn to LOVE crocodiles!

In the PATRON-ONLY after show, she talks about a crocodile found in a toilet AND how to escape a crocodile attack!

Episode #117: 'Tiger King' Review

Joe Exoti.jpg

In this episode, I have a round table discussion with Chris and Angie from the All Creatures Podcast about Netflix’s popular docu-series, ‘Tiger King’. It’s controversial and at times, the conversation gets heated, but more importantly, it’s a sound discussion and a good distraction during these trying times.
