In this episode, I speak to wolf biologist and author of the new book, Restoring Balance: What Wolves Tell Us About Our Relationship With Nature, John Vucetich. John has been studying wolves and the predator/prey relationship with moose in Isle Royale for 25 years. With recent efforts to end protections for the Gray Wolf in the lower 48, John goes into why the science and data doesn’t back wolf hunting. We also discuss how to have a civil discussion with someone who is anti-wolf and why the Biden administration isn’t stepping in to protect the Gray Wolf.

How Do Zoos Prepare For Hurricanes?

In this special edition episode, I chat with Zoo Miami Spokesperson and Communication Director, Ron Magill. Ron has been working at Zoo Miami for over 40 years and has seen his fair share of natural disasters. In the wake of Hurricane Ida and recent news of Hurricane Larry, the question needs to be asked…How Do Zoos Prepare For Natural Disasters like Hurricanes? Ron shares his insight and recalls when Zoo Miami was hit by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. He relives the terrifying time and talks about what they learned and how the zoo as a whole could be more prepared for future disasters. This is a MUST LISTEN for any animal care keeper preparing for a natural disaster!
