Ep. 71 - The Field Guides Go Crikey!

The guys return to Everglades National Park, again looking for a predator that Daniel wants to get too close to: the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus). Listen in as Daniel shares some research, busts croc-related myths, and Steve probably gets a little too excited about how crocs deal with salt water. Bill doesn’t have much to say, but he’s there, too. Enjoy!

This episode was recorded on January 7, 2025 on the Bear Lake Trail in Everglades National Park. The last little bit was also recorded in the Park at the Flamingo Marina.

Ep. 67 - Fishers in the Field: A Hike with Fisher Researcher Dr. Scott LaPoint

If we want to help wildlife, we need to know when and where they’re moving on the landscape. Dr. Scott LaPoint has spent his career researching just that. When our recent episode on fisher cats left us with a lot of questions, we figured who better to help us out than Dr. LaPoint. He was kind enough to join Daniel and Bill for a hike, sharing his expertise and his amazing ability to communicate science with enthusiasm, humor, and clarity. Join the guys for a wide-ranging discussion on fishers, connectivity, and wildlife-human interaction.
