We all know there are cat people and dog people, it's a fact of life. But just for the sake of this episode, we'll be asking all the cat people out there to take off their cat hats and consider loving instead the humble African Wild Dog. The most cat-like dog species in the world, due to the fact they are obligate carnivores, are revered in Ancient Egypt and have no time for human bullshit. Talking about our first ever canine species on the show is the mega badass Lindsay Nikole, who tells the audience how Wild Dogs are REALLY perceived in Africa. Join her and Alice to find out more about Wild Dog territory size, how many teeth they have, and about the Sicilian Mafia - obviously... Our Charity of the Week this week is Painted Dog Conservation - Zimbabwe's answer to the Wild Dog population crisis. Check them out and lend them your support today at: www.painteddog.org.

The African Wild Dog, more aptly known as the Painted Dog, is the largest wild canid species found in the entire African continent. The species is one of the rarest large carnivores in the world with the population of the species crashing from around 500,000 a hundred years ago, to an estimated 6,600 adult individuals today. It is for this reason that the species is listed as “Endangered” on the IUCN Red List. In the 20th century, Painted Dogs were immensely persecuted by farmers due to supposed livestock depredation by the species. Currently, the species is primarily threatened by habitat fragmentation, particularly as a consequence of the development of roads and other linear infrastructure within their range. Not only does this increase the number of dogs lost to road kill but increases the risks of human-wildlife conflict. Additionally, the social nature of the species, makes the Painted Dog highly susceptible to diseases, such as rabies, distemper and parvo-virus, often transmitted from free-ranging dogs. In this episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, I interview Dr. Gregory Rasmussen, who is the Founder of Painted Dog Research Trust. Gregory is one of the leading scientists working on painted dogs in Africa. We discuss the conservation of the Painted Dogs and a variety of PDRT's projects, which include the Kazungula Road project, dog collaring, and den protection initiatives.

On this episode, join host Eoin Walker as he sits down with Jim Bond, an experienced consultant in travel and exhibition medicine, to discuss the critical decline of the African wild dog population across Africa. Jim shares his extensive knowledge and passion for one health, particularly in the context of the rabies risk reduction scheme. Together, they explore the various threats facing the African wild dogs, from persecution and poaching to diseases and habitat loss. They delve into the importance of vaccination and the challenges of reaching remote areas with low population density. Jim also discusses his plans for conducting a real-world prospective study on rabies vaccination in African wild dogs, comparing different methods of vaccination. Throughout the episode, they highlight the need to engage local communities, address vaccine hesitancy, and implement community-led public health approaches. As they wrap up the conversation, they emphasise the urgency of prevention and the goal of eliminating rabies from Africa by 2030. Tune in to this eye-opening episode to learn more about the fascinating African wild dogs, their unique social structure, and the efforts being made to protect this critically endangered species. Jim Bond is a passionate wildlife enthusiast who has dedicated his life to studying and protecting the African wild dog, also known as the painted wolf. With over 50 names associated with this unique species, Jim is fascinated by its distinct characteristics that set it apart from other members of the dog family. Having diverged from other wolf-like species millions of years ago, the African wild dog's four toes on its front feet allow for an extended stride, making it the most efficient carnivore predator in Africa. Jim is amazed by the success rate of the African wild dog, with a remarkable 70% to 80% success rate in hunts. He is particularly captivated by their large, round ears, which possess an incredible sense of hearing. Jim never ceases to be astounded by the beautifully patterned coat of the African wild dog, which comprises a random mix of blacks, whites, browns, yellows, and even reds. Lastly, Jim admires the species' specially adapted teeth that are second in size only to the hyena's, enabling them to quickly tear apart their prey. To Jim, studying and protecting these fascinating creatures is not only a duty but a deeply rewarding experience that highlights the intricate beauty of the natural world.

Ngatia joined a research project studying African wild dogs in Laikipia Kenya when they were some of the best news in conservation – an endangered species that reclaimed lost territory and found new ways to coexist with people. Then a canine pandemic hit that wiped out the entire population … except one animal: WDF128. Ngatia tells the story of how a new population sprung from the ashes of a pandemic through the perseverance of one female African wild dog.

As a great African predator and a hot-spot on safari, it is hard to believe that only last century, the African wild dog was considered vermin. It's beautiful coat of painted strokes makes it undeniably distinctive. Yet out in the field, this animal is hard to find. Yes, it camouflages easily against the landscape, but years of persecution, bounties and unintentional trappings means it's now one of the most endangered mammals on the planet. Revelations about its reliance on the pack for protection, predation and parenting means every dog matters in its bid for survival. So how can we further stop numbers dwindling? Adam Hart and guests investigate the tools and tales of the magnificent painted wolf. Dr Dani Rabaiotti, zoologist at the Zoological Society of London, and David Kuvawoga and Jealous Mpofu, conservationists at Painted Dog Conservation in Zimbabwe.

Wildlife is responding and adapting to climate change in various ways. Some adaptations are more obvious. Flowering plants, for example, are blooming sooner each year in parts of the northern hemisphere as climate change draws the onset of spring progressively earlier in the calendar. Hosted on Acast.

Following his work in Kabul and Baghdad rescuing zoological animals caught in war zones, author and conservationist Brendan Whittington-Jones began a seven year stint studying endangered and often maligned African Wild Dogs. In his book, African Wild Dogs: on the front lines, he describes his work examining the behavior of this species once they leave the relative safety of protected reserves and venture out into human civilization. Brendan compares them to the story of wolves in North America rather than their distant cousins, the often urban savvy coyote. Thanks to some public education and rebranding, the future of the African Wild Dog may not be as bleak as once feared.

What do you do when you want to add a new cat into a house with a resident dog? All pets are different, but for most of them, a little adjustment period is needed. How you introduce them is crucial if you want to see them getting along. In a recent coaching call with fellow pet professional, Dr. Valli Fraser-Celin, Naomi took her through some simple steps to take to introduce her new cat, Peaches, to her dog, Husk. Valli has always been a dog person, studying African Wild Dogs for her PhD and a career in dog population management. But cats have not been in her repertoire. She wanted some guidance on the best ways to slowly introduce her new feline family member to the household. Naomi gives some simple tips to keep both pets happy and relaxed during this big adjustment period, as well as some management and enrichment advice.

We were so honoured that Kim agreed to do our podcast - he has made so many immeasurably magical wildlife programs, all completely unique because Kim actually immerses himself into his subjects lives, gains their trust and thereby catches a lot of unseen footage of the species he is following. Man Cheetah Wild is one of the best cheetah programs we have ever seen. "It's about the lifestyle and cameras provide me with the challenge to bring home stunning images and footage to share with the world helping create an international awareness in Africa's wildlife. I spend years in the field following my film subjects allowing me to become very intimate with them until they behave in the most natural way and ignore my presence. It goes beyond that too, when the animals grant me the absolute privilege of becoming a part of their lives. There is little, if anything, in life that can be more gratifying. It brings us back to the day when we too (man) used to roam the African plains living alongside these wild animals. A far more natural way of filming… It would be very selfish of me to experience and live this special life without sharing it with the world. So yes, maybe it is about the camera… WHERE DID IT ALL START? I had the good fortune of spending my early years growing up in the wilds of Africa: the Kruger National Park, South Africa, where my father, Henry Wolhuter, was the Head Ranger. My grandfather, Harry Wolhuter, the very first ranger of the Kruger National Park, is a national legend being the only man ever to kill an adult male lion single handed with a knife after it had pulled him from his horse. After my 2 years national service in the South African mounted infantry and a degree in Grassland Science I entered the wildlife arena managing a game farm in Botswana. Later I served as Senior Warden of Mlawula Nature Reserve in Swaziland before taking up the camera. Today I find myself following the family tradition, although in a slightly different way, making documentaries on southern African Wildlife. Since 1988 I have made wildlife documentaries for National Geographic, BBC, Discovery Channel and Animal Planet. I have now developed a very different niche in the wildlife filmmaking market, where I spend at least 2yrs on a production, getting to bond and develop very intimate relationships with my film subjects, all wild African animals. In the past these have included Leopard, Hyaena, Cheetah and African Wild Dogs. Through these intimate alliances I am not only able to document the animal's lives up close and personal, but people are seeing these animals in a way they've never seen them before and are able to engage more with the animal and almost feel what it's like to be that animal. I walk, run, hunt and sleep with these animals so much so that they completely accept my presence so everything I document is totally natural behaviour. This intimacy also provides a new look into animal behaviour, which at times is new to science. I have a very unique and natural affinity to develop these relationships with wild animals. Currently I live on Sango Wildlife Reserve in the Save Valley Conservancy in Zimbabwe, where I'm out every day and often all night living alongside my film subjects. This is no job, but a true passion handed down through generations of our Wolhuter family. Before retiring in 1948 after 44 years service in the Kruger National Park my grandfather Harry wrote: “My long experience has taught me that, thrilling the pleasures of shooting undoubtedly are, infinitely greater and far more lasting pleasure and interest can be obtained from the observation and study of wild animals, unafraid and uninterfered with, in their natural haunts; and I have never regretted my metamorphosis from hunter to guardian!” I can only hope he would be proud of me today…"

We're just weeks away from the big international climate talks in Glasgow, where governments will be trying to figure out a workable plan for how to keep global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees. Gaia Vince explores a couple of strategies to tackle climate change. By far the biggest source of the rise comes from the release of greenhouse gases when we burn fossil fuels, like coal, oil and gas. So it's no surprise that we need to cut back on this habit - but much of the discussions are over how much of our reserves countries can continue to burn. Earlier this year, a landmark report from the International Energy Agency said there must be an immediate end to new fossil fuel exploration, and that current production must drop by 75% by 2050 if we are to stay within emissions targets. Daniel Welsby from UCL talks to Gaia about his just published massive analysis of fuel reserves and extraction. His study doesn't go as far as the IEA's, but still says that 60% of the remaining oil and gas, and 90% of coal reserves must stay underground if we are to keep below that 1.5C temperature rise. Natural gas, or methane, has a much stronger effect on temperature than carbon dioxide, but because it doesn't last very long in the atmosphere before converting into carbon dioxide, it's been a bit overlooked by governments. Two recent reports, from the IPCC and the UN, have pointed out that cutting methane emissions would be a quick win in reducing global heating. Most of our methane emissions are because of leaks from the oil and gas industry, or from landfill sites and agriculture. Gaia discusses tackling methane with Drew Shindell, of Duke University in North Carolina, the author of the Global Methane Assessment from the UN Environment Programme. Climate change is already having an impact on life everywhere. We've all seen the powerful pictures of polar bears on melting ice, but global warming is also causing problems for species in the tropics. Dani Rabaiotti of the Zoological Society of London explains how climate change is having an impact on African wild dogs, a species which is already endangered. This week the Human Fertilisation and Embryo Authority A recommended that the time limit for using frozen eggs, sperm and embryos, should be extended from 10 years to 55 years. Shahnaz Akbar, a fertility expert at Luton and Dunstable Hospital, explains what has changed in the science of preserving eggs from when the law was originally passed.

During this episode of the Conservation Cast, Maya spoke with Simon Morgan about how Morgan decided to help found the Wildlife ACT fund and their mission. ACT helps to protect many species in Africa such as the African Wild Dog, Cheetah, and the major focus of this talk, the Black and White Rhino. ACT prevents the poaching of these species by monitoring and tracking them, educating people, and by using anti-poaching techniques like dehorning rhinos. Maya's community raised $642.83 for the Wildlife ACT Fund, a non-profit trust working in Africa to prevent the poaching of many important species. Their focus lies in wildlife monitoring, community outreach, and anti-poaching.

Sniffing Out How To Save African Wild Dogs One of the most endangered mammals on Earth, African wild dogs are known for their oversized ears, social bonds, and highly efficient hunting style. That predatory nature is now contributing to their threatened status, as their territory in sub-Saharan Africa increasingly overlaps with human farmers, who often use poison or other lethal deterrents to protect their livestock from wild dogs and other predators. Producer Christie Taylor talks to carnivore biologist Gabi Fleury about their research on African wild dogs and other threatened wildlife, and how thoughtful applications of technology could help solve conflicts between farmers and hungry predators—hopefully saving dogs' lives. Plus, she talks about what it's like to make it into conservation biology, after a lifetime of dreaming about it. See A Spotted Lanternfly? Squash It! If you live in Pennsylvania or any of its surrounding environs, you've probably seen a really interesting looking bug in the past few years: the spotted lanternfly. Around this time of year, it's in its nymph stage. But when fully grown, these lanternflies sound a little like the joke—they're black and white and red all over. They've also got spots, as their name suggests. The charming news about how interesting they look is offset by the bad news: They are an invasive species. And they frighten crop farmers because they have a taste for just about anything, and a fondness for grapes, which could have dramatic economic consequences.  Many states have a unified stance on what to do if you spy a spotted lanternfly—stomp them out. But is that an effective way to stop their spread? Joining Ira to chat about stomping techniques and lanternfly biology is Julie Urban, associate research professor in entomology at Penn State University, in State College, Pennsylvania. Listening To Shells, An Oracle Of Ocean Health If you're a beach person, few things are more relaxing than slowly wandering along the shore, looking for seashells. Your goal might be a perfect glossy black mussel shell, or a daintily-fluted scallop, or a more exotic shell full of twists and spirals, like a queen conch. The human fascination with seashells dates back to prehistory. Shell trumpets have been found in Mayan temples. Shell beads abound in the remains of the midwestern metropolis of Cahokia. And the Calusa Kingdom, in what is now Florida, literally built their civilization on shells.  But seashells are more than just a beachgoer's collector's item. They're homes to living creatures known as mollusks, built through a complex process called biomineralization. They're also a harbinger of environmental change—and warming seas and acidifying oceans could change the outlook for shells around the world.  Environmental journalist Cynthia Barnett joins Ira to talk about the biology, history, and environmental significance of the seashell. She's the author of the new book, The Sound of the Sea: Seashells and the Fate of the Ocean.

Anthropologist and conservationist Lesley McNutt spent a decade trying to encourage adults to connect with the nature world in order to save wildlife populations in Botswana. She tried tactic after tactic, but people were more concerned about the HIV/AIDS crisis. That’s when she realized she was educating the wrong people. On episode 81, Lesley shares her story of making a home in Africa, close encounters with apex predators, and finally making inroads with locals through Wild Entrust’s Coaching Conservation program. In 2015, her hard work was validated when the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals aligned the Coaching Conservation model. Lesley founded Wild Entrust with her husband, Tico, and the non-profit is supported in part by the Cincinnati Zoo. As a bonus, she tells us about the connection between African Wild Dogs and the wolves of Yellowstone National Park.

The MVP, aka L Freaky, aka Lamar Jackson joins the fellas for this week’s episode of Truss Levelz. The man who invented “Truss” gives us its origin story, how it became the Ravens’ mantra and also one of his favorite tattoos. LJ takes us back to his years dominating in Florida’s elite Pop Warner league and what he was like as a free safety. The guys get into his college decision and why Louisville won out over the Florida schools. From the start of college on … it’s been nothing but success for LJ. He put his name on the map freshman year, but sophomore year he rocketed to the moon, becoming the youngest Heisman winner ever, putting up a combined 4,298 yards rushing and passing, with 51 touchdowns. He finished off college with a killer junior year and then bounced for the 2018 NFL draft. He reveals to the guys how he felt on draft night as he dropped further and further – and why he low-key wished he hadn’t worn his Gucci suit that day. Then it’s all about the league. He talks about waiting to play his first year, putting everyone on skates during his MVP year, breaking records, and why he ain’t even close to where he wants to be. The best is yet to come when it comes to Lamar Jackson, ladies and gentleman. Enough said — tune in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Snot, poo & farts. These three things, in my opinion, will always be funny, but the what else can learn from them? On this week's episode I speak with author & Dr of African wild dogs,  Dani Rabaiotti. After writing 3 books, Does it fart, True or Poo & Believe or Snot, Dani knows all about the gross side of nature & how it can grab people's attention. Dani has also completed a PHD looking into the affects of climate change on African wild dogs, specifically their behaviour. We talk about what has changed, how they have adapted & what is being done to save these animals. Finally climate change itself. A quick chat on what is actually going on & can all animals, including ourselves, adapt quick enough. If you'd like to keep up to date with the projects & shows that Dani is working on, you can do so on Twitter & Instagram, @danirabaiotti Does it fart, True or Poo & Believe or Snot are also available from all major book stores & online.

MultimediaLIVE — The makers of "Dynasties", BBC Earth's five-part series on the epic lives of five animal families, spent years filming with the African wild dogs, or "painted wolves" as they are now widely known, in the Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. "Painted Wolves", one episode in the series narrated by David Attenborough, follows the story of a family of African wild dogs as they battle a rival pack for territory and food on a wide floodplain along the Zambezi River. The episode is an epic production in every way. During long periods on location, the crew heard and saw animal behaviour that had never been witnessed before. But to capture that they had to endure punishing heat and humidity, lashing thunderstorms in the rainy season and days that stretched into weeks when they had not one sighting of the dogs. They also had to be on their feet, with cameras and microphones, in a place crawling with opportunistic predators such as hyenas, crocodiles and lions. The park is one of Africa's secret gems, a fertile habitat of dense thickets of acacia, mahogany, fig and ebony trees in whose glades gather elephants, eland, zebra, buffalo, kudu, and lots of impala. The antelope in turn support the predators: lions, hyenas, leopards and, of course, the painted wolves. This family drama ends on a truly beautiful note as the dogs do something that has never before been heard. Listen on. Dynasties on BBC Planet Earth · Vundu Camp in Mana Pools National Park
