Dan Flores is an environmental writer whose work helps us better understand the complex and fascinating history of people, animals, and wild places in North America and beyond. He's the author of eleven books, including Coyote America and American Serengeti, and he has appeared everywhere from the Joe Rogan Experience to the upcoming Ken Burns documentary on the American Buffalo. His newest book is titled Wild New World: The Epic Story of Animals and People in America, and, as you'd expect, it is excellent. It's a sweeping “Big History” of humans' impact on the North American landscape– a sobering yet optimistic examination of the ups and downs of people's ever-evolving relationship with the natural world. If you're a member of the Ranchlands Collective, then this podcast episode will be a timely addition to the insightful Q&A write-up that Dan so graciously provided for Collective members. In it, he provides some context around an exclusive game-camera video that shows coyotes and ravens scavenging the carcass of a cow on our Frying Pan Ranch in Texas. Given Dan's expertise on coyotes and his wide-ranging knowledge about the interactions between North American wildlife, this Q&A is a must-read.  Read Dan Flores' Work Learn more about the Ranchlands Collective

“The ordinary traveler, who never goes off the beaten route and who on this beaten route is carried by others, without himself doing anything or risking anything, does not need to show much more initiative and intelligence than an express package." Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, we're discussing The River of Doubt by Candace Millard, a story that follows the expedition of Theodore Roosevelt as he explores the Amazon river in Brazil. Though faced with many hardships along the way, Roosevelt finds purpose in this monumental journey after losing the 1912 election. We cover a wide range of topics including: The explorer spirit and the drive to explore the unknown Theories of how long humans have been in the Americas How the crew was able to form relationships with uncontacted tribes The progression of travel methods in comparison to the early 1900s What were in the cards for Roosevelt and Rondon after they returned And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

After losing the 1912 election, Roosevelt traveled to Brazil to explore the Amazon river, which was largely unknown at that time.  (4:17) The explorer spirit and the urge to explore something that people haven't seen before. While there's not much else for us to discover for the first time on earth, there are still many unique things to go see that only few have. (8:52) Roosevelt and the crew seemed to underestimate what they were getting into, and though underprepared, it ended up being an overall success.  (14:21) We talk a bit more about Rondon and his backstory, as well as what life looked like for him after the expedition. He had contact with tribes that were otherwise cut off from the rest of the world.  (18:26) The relationships with the tribes they came across and how the tribe leaders had to mutually agree before a course of action was taken on Roosevelt's crew. At the time, it was not known that the tribe they had contacted were cannabalists.  (22:37) There's a theory that the Amazon is man-made or at least man-influenced. While there's evidence of humans in the Amazon from at least 13,000 years ago, how long have humans really been in the Americas?  (27:50) Seafaring canoes and the possibility of natives reaching new land via canoe tens of thousands of years ago. It's also a mystery how many journeys have failed throughout time, as there is likely no record of their expedition at all. (31:29) The drive to explore is in our DNA. Do we feel that need for evolutionary purposes?  (37:40) We talk about the description of the surgery on Roosevelt's leg during the journey and the backstory behind it. (42:07) Sickness and the prevalence of malaria during the trip. We give some stats on the fatalities of malaria, and the lethality is less than we expected.  (44:19) Roosevelt brought his son, Kermit. Though Kermit didn't want to go, he went so he can watch out for his dad. Back in this time, going on a trip for months or even years meant you wouldn't have any contact with people back home for that whole span. (48:55) Stories of Roosevelt when he was visited by ambassadors in the White House, and other humorous presidential stories.  (52:32) There have been several amazing stories and documentaries describing the journies of different adventurists and mountain climbers. It goes to show just how important pacing yourself is and knowing how to pack the appropriate supplies.  (1:00:51) Why the crew hardly saw any wild life during their time in the Amazon. Though you're surrounded by them, they're extremely hidden. (1:05:58) Rondon's leadership along the way and how he managed to keep order, despite one of the crew members causing trouble.  (1:14:19) When we think about Roosevelt's journey and compare it to today, we see how far we've come. We can now reach the other side of the world at much quicker speeds and have the potential of seeing more growth in this area during our lifetime, too.  (1:19:53) Stay tuned for our next episode...

It's our privilege today to have author Dan Flores on the podcast. Dan Flores is A. B. Hammond Professor Emeritus of Western History at the University of Montana. A distinguished historian of the American West, he is the author of the best-selling books Coyote America and American Serengeti. Daniel had the opportunity to interview him back when those books were published, and he's pleased to be talking with him now about his latest book, Wild New World, The Epic Story of Animals and People in America. Dan is a uniquely gifted environmental historian, and this was on full display in American Serengeti where he wrote about North America's incredible late Pleistocene bestiary, a topic we find incredibly compelling. If you've listened to the show for a while you've no doubt figured that out about us. When the topic of North America 10,000 years ago comes up, we just can't resist it. Dan's newest book is even more ambitious in its scope, beginning with the comet that ended the reign of the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago, and taking us up through to the present and even into the future. Daniel really enjoyed this interview with Dan, but if he had one regret, it's that he hadn't finished the book before they spoke. So, it's his hope to bring him back soon to discuss it further. But for now, this interview is incredible, and we trust you'll really enjoy it. If you haven't read his books before, we highly recommend you do. He's not just a great author, but an important one. And understanding the past he writes about is — in our opinion — crucial to understanding both where we are today, and where the future might carry us.

My special guest is best-selling author Dan Flores, who returns to the show to discuss his book about the war between coyotes and humans in America.  Get his book Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History on Amazon.     With its uncanny night howls, unrivaled ingenuity, and amazing resilience, the coyote is the stuff of legends. In Indian folktales, it often appears as a deceptive trickster or a sly genius. But legends don't come close to capturing the incredible survival story of the coyote.   As soon as Americans - especially white Americans - began ranching and herding in the West, they began working to destroy the coyote. Despite campaigns of annihilation employing poisons, gases, helicopters, and engineered epidemics, coyotes didn't just survive; they thrived, expanding across the continent from Anchorage, Alaska, to New York's Central Park. In the war between humans and coyotes, coyotes have won hands down.   Coyote America is both an environmental and a deep natural history of the coyote. It traces both the five-million-year-long biological story of an animal that has become the "wolf" in our backyards and its cultural evolution from a preeminent spot in Native American religions to the hapless foil of the Road Runner. A deeply American tale, the story of the coyote in the American West and beyond is a sort of Manifest Destiny in reverse, with a pioneering hero whose career holds up an uncanny mirror to the successes and failures of American expansionism.   An illuminating biography of this extraordinary animal, Coyote America isn't just the story of an animal's survival - it is one of the great epics of our time.     It's super easy to access our archives!   Here's how:   iPhone Users: Access Mysterious Radio from Apple Podcasts and become a subscriber there or if you want access to even more exclusive content join us on Patreon.   Android Users: Enjoy over 800 exclusive member-only posts to include ad-free episodes, case files and more when you join us on Patreon.    Copy and Paste our link in a text message to all your family members and friends!

Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz! North American legend Dan Flores, the Attenborough of America, tells the historic battle between Coyotes and humans for arch predators of the continent in Coyote America. This bestseller takes us from the native legends of the half man half dog coyotl to the urban dwelling canids of today. The coyotes intelligence, pack reliance and flexibility mirrors the same qualities that got homo sapiens out of the Serenghetti. Since infiltrating the ancient Aztec city of Tenochitilan, coyotes have weaseled their way into our meta consciousness as a Wiley Coyote never willing to settle. Be sure not to anthropomorphize these killers too much, our 4% difference from orangutans is equal to the coyotes 4% divergence from wolves.

Coyotes are literally everywhere now, roaming cities and suburbs across the country. They've been persecuted -- hunted and poisoned by government agencies for more than a century – but they've thrived in spite of that. Gary Strieker talks with Dan Flores, author of "Coyote America", a book that explores the history, folklore and science of coyotes and how they've managed to spread their territories right into our backyards.

Hammond Professor Emeritus at the University of Montana and lives in my home state of New Mexico. About 45 minutes south of my home town in Santa Fe. Coyote America, if you haven’t already listened to or read the book will teach you a lot about coyotes, humans, and the resilience of the American Song Dog. And if you aren’t fond of these small canids by the end of the book you’ll love them or at least have a new respect for them. We dive into Dan’s work as a storyteller and learn how he writes about wildlife, his process, and how the wildlife inspire him.

Predators are a two-faced god for humans, according to Dan Flores, historian and author of Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History. After all, we were once both predators and prey.With this episode, we continue to explore this complex relationship of humans and predators by looking to the song dogs of the prairie. Coyotes inspired several Aztec dieties, served as the model for the protagonist of the earliest American stories, and, in defiance of a concerted effort by federal and state agencies to wipe them off the face of the earth, thrive throughout the lower 48 states today. As such, they have much to teach us about the natural and cultural history of America and, more broadly, about our own species.Thank you to David Larzelere for playing the guitar on the "Coyote National Anthem."For more see in-the-weeds.net

Legends don't come close to capturing the incredible story of the coyote In the face of centuries of campaigns of annihilation employing gases, helicopters, and engineered epidemics, coyotes didn't just survive, they thrived, expanding across the continent from Alaska to New York. In the war between humans and coyotes, coyotes have won, hands-down. Coyote America is the illuminating five-million-year biography of this extraordinary animal, from its origins to its apotheosis. It is one of the great epics of our time. Taos Land Trust's Jim O'Donnell talks with author and historian Dan Flores about this incredible animal. Recorded at KNCE 93.5FM studios in January 2019.

In a few hours we'll transition to the New Year. As I do every year as what was comes to an end, this is a time to look back over everything that has happened in the preceding twelve months and prepare for those ahead. Sometimes I've put together a “best of” list for the year, but the idea of doing that any more is like asking which of my children I love more. Each one shines in their own particular moments, and, in the end, I do love them all equally, so this year I want to highlight some episode that provides an overview of the many places we explored together in 2018. The first was with Fred Provenza when we used his book Nourishment to talk about diet and reclaiming our nutritional wisdom. Though we stayed focused on food and the three main influences he's identified that cause us to like a particular taste, underlying that conversation was a discussion of self-care and seeing to the wellbeing of our mind, body, and spirit. What we can do to make the choices that really are the best for ourselves. To recognize that any path suggested by another is just a model and we have to make those choices, guided by our own intuition and the advice of others we trust. Related to those ideas of making our best choices were the pair of conversations with Victoria Redhed Miller who walked us through her work on Craft Distilling and the steps required to make booze at home. One of the most significant issues was of legality and we took nearly an hour to cover her journey and the problems that arose along the way so that we can make an informed decision, should we follow in her footsteps, and know that many of our practices, for better or worse, are illegal. Knowing the bounds of those laws, we can seek to change them by getting involved politically. Making that choice was the basis of the most controversial and commented on episode of the year, the discussion with Joshua Hughes about permaculture and politics. Whether or not you agree with his particular take on this issue and what the best ways to be politically active really are, we certainly pushed the edge of the conversation about what permaculture ethics in practice can look like to influence policy or action. David Bilbrey, who joined me this year as an ongoing co-host, builds on the ideas discussed with Joshua regarding the public sector with a look at the private. He does this through his discovery of the intersection between permaculture and business, which was highlighted by a visit to the ReGen18 conference where he met with and recorded many short interviews with regenerative business thought leaders, include Stuart Cowan and Kevin Jones. He also met and had a moving conversation with Kanyon Coyote Woman about Indian Canyon, Decolonizing, and Indigenous Value Systems. His work at ReGen18, also lead to the final interview of this year, an extended discussion with Joel Solomon about how to transform our current financial system. I encourage you to seek all of those out, as well as David's interview with the founder of Theory U, Otto Scharmer. The show that set the tone for the entire year was the episode that started us off when my friend Wilson Alvarez spoke about his work with The Reintegration Project, which is hosted at The Horn Farm Center in York County, Pennsylvania. Together we talked about how to restore the landscape by mimicking four ecosystem engineers: wolves, beavers, ancient humans, and the proboscideans. Through that hands-on work, he also shared how the act of landscape restoration reconnects human beings to the spaces we once tended, to the garden of Earth, and the bounty of the world. Later in the year I visited Wilson at the project and recorded a walking tour of The Reintegration Project, where you can see this work in practice and see the places, and hear the stories of the people, transformed through nurturing activity. Visit the 2018 Episode Index You'll, of course, find links to that video and these episodes in the show notes for this end of year recap. You'll also see a link to a public post on Patreon of the 2018 Episode Index, which is a chronological list of all 40 interviews released this year. From those episodes, there are also some books that I would like to recommend to you, ones not written by the authors who appeared on the podcast. These are all books I read this year and think you should read in 2019. The first is Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Robin weaves together her personal heritage with her love of plants and the environment with prose that border on poetry. As I hope to interview Robin in 2019, I'll save any further discussion until then. Second is Coyote America by Dan Flores. I came to learn of Dan and this book as he wrote the forward to one of my favorite books of 2018, Eager by Ben Goldfarb. In Coyote America Dan weaves together a tale that takes us from creation myths to the modern day, and how the Coyote is indicative of humanity's relationship with the world. At times humorous and haunting, this is one of the best pieces of nature writing I've ever read and place it on the same level as Rachel Carson or Aldo Leopold. Finally, is Atlas of a Lost World by Craig Childs. Though I don't always enjoy his writing style or forays into his personal journey, Craig more than makes up for this with the places he takes us and evidence presented for how long humanity has populated the Americas. This book serves as a companion to tie together other narratives by guests like Kanyon, or other books worth reading like Robin's. These three books are all written as stories that you can sit down and enjoy for the pleasure. For reference and inspiration, which is pleasing in it's own way, thanks to the art by Brenna Quinlan and art direction of Richard Telford, get a copy of David Holmgren's RetroSuburbia (Australia) (North America) This is an absolute magnificent permaculture book for where most people live: in and around cities. It has also supplanted the Designers' Manual as my initial go to when looking for ideas and solutions. You can listen to my earlier interview with David Holmgren to learn more about RetroSuburbia. I've also asked co-host David Bilbrey to sit down and record an interview with David Holmgren so the two of them can dig into this rich text from David Bilbrey's perspective, and to add a different voice to the conversation since I've already recorded several conversations with David Holmgren in the past. Along with that David and I are taking your feedback from the past year to plan for the next. As we've spent a lot of time on the social and economic sides of permaculture, we're bringing on guests with experience in more practical areas, including homesteading, more natural building, ethnobotany, and propagating plants. We also already have some interview recorded and in production on the business of mushroom spawn, community building, spoon carving and coppicing, and more. We also organized dozens of giveaways for books and magazines, so be sure to check out the feed at patreon.com/permaculturepodcast to see what we're up to throughout 2019. That's also where we post bonus material, hold monthly ask-me-anything threads, share weekly updates, take ongoing listener suggestions, and so much more. Along the way through the new year, we're here to do whatever we can to help you on your journey with permaculture and creating the world you want to live in. If you want to reach out to David Bilbrey directly, his email address is david@thepermaulturepodcast.com You can reach me at by calling or write: The Permaculture Podcast The Permaculture Podcast Until David and I join you again with new episodes, wherever the new year takes you, may you spend each day living the life you desire, while taking care of Earth, your self, and each other.

This week on the Ohio Huntsman Podcast we did something a little different.  Jeff presented a surprise theory to us and we discussed and debated the point of that theory.  It led to a very interesting conversation about coyotes in Ohio, re-populating deer in the state, rut timing, and more, I think you’ll enjoy it! If after listening to the show you are interested in learning more about the history of coyotes in The United States and their spread across the country, I highly recommend Coyote America by Dan Flores.

When the coyote howls, Dan Flores says we are hearing the original national anthem. Coyote America is the biography of an animal more than five million years in the making on this continent, and one that’s thrived despite the attempts at complete eradication. Urging tolerance and appreciation, Dan Flores offers a fresh look at this iconic animal.

Wile E. Coyote has a family tree with many roots and branches, argues University of Montana A.B. Hammond Professor Emeritus Dan Flores in his recent book, Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History (Basic Books, 2016). Coyotes as a species predate humans in North America, and people have been, by turns, fascinated and horrified by coyotes for as long as the two creatures have coexisted. The coyote’s relationship with humans has been, as Flores describes it, a rollercoaster. Considered a semi-deity figure and trickster god among many Indigenous cultures across the American West, the first Europeans to encounter the coyote were puzzled by the animal. Lewis and Clark struggled to fit coyotes into existing categories; was it a jackal, or closer to a wolf? By the end of the nineteenth century however, Americans had largely decided the coyote was, above all, a nuisance and took up arms to eradicate the animal. The effects were both gruesome and surprising. While government-laid traps and poisons killed millions of coyotes, many thousands also migrated to cities as a means of escaping the attempted extermination. Today, coyotes can be found in every American state save Hawaii and have even crossed their final frontier into New York City. Coyote America traces the history of this nigh-mystical animal (an “American Avatar” in Flores’s estimation) and their long, tortured, relationship with humans. Stephen Hausmann is a doctoral candidate at Temple University and Visiting Instructor of history at the University of Pittsburgh. He is currently writing his dissertation, a history of race and the environment in the Black Hills and surrounding northern plains region of South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.

Dan Flores is a writer, historian, and former professor whose work explores the connections between people and the natural world in the American West. His most recent books—Coyote America and American Serengeti—are two of the most enlightening and informative books on the West’s natural history that I have ever read. The former is a biography of the coyote, a surprisingly fascinating animal with a rich and severely misunderstood history. The latter explores the last big mammals of the great plains—pronghorn, coyotes, horses, grizzlies, bison, and wolves—and also gives a great overview of North American big history. • It’s clear that Dan was a wonderful professor, because as you’ll hear in this episode, he has a real knack for explaining complicated subjects in a way that’s understandable, engaging, and exciting. This conversation gave me a glimpse into what it must have been like to be a student in Dan’s class at the University of Montana—I walked away from it full of new knowledge, and it whet my appetite to dig deeper into the many subjects we covered. • I could’ve asked Dan questions for hours and hours, but in our relatively short time together we managed to cover a lot. We start by discussing the coyote—how and why the animal has been so misunderstood, its similarities to humans, how it has managed to thrive despite efforts to totally eradicate the species, and the varying pronunciations of the word coyote. Then we discuss horses—the misconception that they are a non-native species in North America, their evolutionary history around the world, and some modern-day challenges facing the West's few remaining wild horses. We also talk about Dan’s childhood in Louisiana, his current home in New Mexico, his favorite books on the American West, and much, much more. • This is an excellent episode and I’m excited for you to listen. If you haven’t already, buy Coyote America and American Serengeti—I can promise you’ll love them both. ••• http://mountainandprairie.com/dan-flores/ ••• TOPICS DISCUSSED: 3:00 - How Dan describes his work 4:10 - History of the pronunciation of “Coyote” 7:30 - Coyote’s historical reputation 11:00 - Coyote’s historical status in Native American lore 12:30 - Mark Twain’s influence on the coyotes’ image 14:05 - Coyotes as humans’ avatars 16:15 - Fission and fusion in coyotes 18:00 - Coyotes' ability to control their reproduction 22:20 - Dan’s thoughts on the current attempted Federal Land grab 28:45 - Misconception that horses are non-native 34:30 - Current issues with horses in the United States 37:55 - Dan’s thoughts on the BLM Wild Mustang Program 40:15 - Dan’s early years in Louisiana 43:00 - First trip to Carlsbad Caverns 45:20 - Dan’s passionate love of desert 48:55 - Living in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley 51:00 - Changes in Montana during Dan’s time there 55:00 - "In Defense of the Ranchette” article 1:01:45 - Favorite books about the American West 1:08:00 - Most powerful experience outdoors 1:09:20 - Favorite place in the West 1:11:30 - Dan’s request of the listeners 1:15:45 - Connect with Dan

 With a brilliant blend of environmental and natural history, Dan Flores’ Coyote America traces the five-million-year-long biological story of an animal that has become the “wolf” in our backyards. The journey of the coyote to the American West and beyond isn’t just the story of an animal’s survival—it is one of the great epics of our time. Illuminating this legendary creature, Flores will be joined on stage for a conversation with playwright and chronicler of urban wildlife Melissa Cooper, who will also perform an excerpt from her play, New York City Coyote Existential.For photos from the program, click here.

The streams at Great Sand Dunes National Park may be key to preserving the Rio Grande cutthroat trout in the age of climate change, while restoration ecologists work to preserve other species and lands. Also, athletes are getting bigger and stronger. But is that a good thing? Then, humans have tried to kill coyotes going back more than 100 years. In Denver in the 1920s, a plant manufactured poison to exterminate them. But coyotes survived, and even multiplied and spread, while other animals in the same situation did not.
