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!

In this episode, I interview Dr. Laurel Serieys, the founder of The Urban Caracal Project, a unique study currently looking at the effects of urbanization on caracal populations in South Africa. We begin discussing Dr. Serieys work with bobcats and cougars in Los Angeles and how that led her to Africa. We then dive into the elusive life of the caracal and how they adapt to life in the city, including the habit of preying on pets, in particular domestic cats. We end the discussion on how people can learn to co-exist with caracals and other wildlife.

Episode #41: Elephants with Dr. Cynthia Moss

In this episode, I sit down with one of the world's most famous elephant researchers, Dr. Cynthia Moss. Dr. Moss has been studying wild elephants in Africa for over 40 years. In 1972, Dr. Moss started the Amboseli Elephant Research Project, the longest running study of elephants to date. In this interview, we discuss elephant behavior, intelligence, social structure, empathy, and current threats they face in the wild. Other topics include the famous elephant "Echo", Dr. Moss's favorite elephant encounter, and advice for young researchers wanting to pursue a similar career path.
