This month, we’re talking about an animal known for scavenging that has one of the strongest bites in the animal kingdom. Alex sits down with Lauren Arthur, Zoologist, Marine Biologist, and Conservation Storyteller, to explain why these animals are so misunderstood and how we can better understand them. Lauren has studied hyenas in the field for years through her work at Too Wild, which has given her a unique perspective on these highly intelligent creatures. So join us as we travel through the depths of Africa to talk about spotted hyenas.

This month, we’re covering a mammal that’s an expert tree dweller. They share a name with the well-known white and black panda, but unbeknownst to most, they’re not closely related. And these adorable creatures are actually the reason giant pandas got their name. So grab your climbing gear and join us as we navigate the bamboo forests to talk about red pandas.

This month, we’re revisiting an animal that we covered in one of our first episodes. Elephants are one of our world’s largest gentle giant but they are in a lot more danger than most people realize. In this episode, Alex sits down with Nikki Sharp, Executive Director of Wildlife SOS, a non-profit focused on saving India’s wildlife, to explore the increasing challenges elephants are facing and the work being done to support elephant rehabilitation. So join us as we head into the wetlands of Asia to learn about elephants.
