The animal that we're talking about in this week's episode might be one of the most adorable creatures you'll ever see. However, behind all of its cute features are adaptations that help them survive in their harsh environment. Since it's winter here in the Northern Hemisphere, we're going to continue with our Arctic animals that have to deal with freezing cold climates. So, grab a nice cup of hot chocolate because it's about to get chilly when we talk about harp seals.For sources and more information, please visit our website.Sign up for our email list on our website for the chance to win a free On Wildlife t-shirt!Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/onwildlife)

In this podcast episode, we will focus on two arctic species (the Polar Bear and Harp seals) and how they can navigate harsh environmental conditions impended on by humans. Hint, hint, global warming. We will also be analyzing studies and sources of evolutionary evidence that relate to natural selection- the survival of the fittest. Furthermore, we will look at possible solutions for humans to intervene with genetic engineering (CRISPR) and selective breeding. Ultimately, we seek to answer: Will they adapt or die, can humans save them? Section 1: The Arctic Seal race against time- What is the polar bear? The Ice Is melting!!! Section 2: How does Global Warming affect marine animals in the Arctic? Endangered animals? Melting sea ice Section 3: WHAT IS GENETIC ENGINEERING OR SELECTIVE BREEDING? Section 4: Task 2: Evidence of Change over Time- EVOLUTION- COMMON ANCESTORS OF THESE SPECIES Section 5: Task 3: Natural Selection- Phet Bunny Lab Section 6: Are you down with DNA and Task 5 Human Intervention - How to take action!!!

I have a fantastic conversation today with yogini, spiritual guide, and visionary, Vivianne Nantel about the importance of the yogic path and our movement towards Self Realization. Many people around the world are entering into more subtle levels of awareness as they shift their thoughts, actions, and patterns from gross to the subtle. Vivanne, AKA Devi, and I chat about what we are waking up to and how we are waking up on the path to Oneness; what is happening as people realize their potential as blissful, omnipresent, pure consciousness and their true nature as spirit? What does it mean to be one and to co-create with the universe? How does it feel to walk this spiritual path towards Samadhi? As we move in this direction, we discover our own powers, we realize that we are Divine, that we have no limitations, and that we are all One.   What you’ll get out of tuning in: What does it meant to dive into the more subtle aspect of yourself? How are we waking up and what is happening as people are waking up from their old patterns? How to continue on the sattvic path.   Links Mentioned in Episode: Vivianne's Website Vivianne's Facebook Discover more about Body Thrive  Show Highlights: 2:00- Cate asks Devi what she thinks is happening as people are waking up to their own patterns? Devi tells us about how people identify themselves, the patterns they’ve learned throughout life, and what they are taught to believe about themselves. The things we believe about ourselves are astounding, and at the same time, what we can let go of as we learn about the science of Yoga, is even more amazing. 10:00- Cate talks about the realization that who we are or have been up until this point, has served us for a period of time, but that time has passed. We are ready now to be less attached to who we were and more open to moving into a place of pure consciousness, peace, and potentiality- a more sattvic realm. 13:45- The beauty of yoga is that we can take it to the level that we want to. Not everyone’s goals are the same when it comes to yoga; not everyone wants to dive as deep into the spiritual world. But with yoga and the practices that come along with it, people can choose how far they want to take it. Cate and Devi talk about diet and the yogic path to health and recovery from illness and the natural falling away of old habits when one embarks on this path. 21:20- Advice and tips for those who are waking up to their true selves and for those who are moving more towards this sattvic, yogic path.   Favorite Quotes: “We are a unique wave of Divine ocean coming into the physical realm...we realize that we are not the wave; we are the ocean. “ -Vivianne Nantel “Most people are limited by their personality, their ego; they put themselves in a little tiny box.” - Vivianne Nantel “Who I’ve been up until now- awesome. That worked for some purpose. But, wow there’s more. There’s more that I can become.” -Cate Stillman   “ When one has a deep longing to know the truth, to emerge, then it’s unavoidable.” -Vivianne Nantel   Guest BIO: Vivianne Nantel, who is often called “Devi”, is a yogini, spiritual guide, visionary, mystic, vocalist, humanitarian, speaker and author of Becoming The Light: Realize Your True Enlightened Nature.

We begin with a discussion with Dr. Diana Marmorstein, CEO of Harpseals.org. Another season of the Canadian seal hunt is upon us, with the cruel and unnecessary killing huge numbers of juvenile seals. This practice needs to be ended for good. We continue with surveys about cute animals and SeaWorld, a story about prolonging dogs’ […]

On June 10, 2009 two Harp Seals (09-002, 09-006) underwent satellite tagging at the University of New England's Marine Animal Rehabilitation Center in preparation for release.

Join us together with our guest, the founder of HarpSeals.org Ian Robichaud for an educational and enlightening discussion about the looming slaughter of another 300,000 baby seals.Every year Canadian fishermen shoot, bludgeon and skin over 300,000 baby seals; many spend hours dying in their own blood. Many are skinned alive.This is an industrial hunt by the Canadian government and pushed by the Canadian Seafood Corporations. Fishermen earn only 5% of their income this way; the other 95% is earned while over fishing and depleting the N Atlantic oceans without regard to sustainability and while totally ignoring their direct impact on the complete collapse of the Cod stocks just a few year ago. These fishermen use the baby seals as their scapegoats; an excuse to slaughter hundreds of thousands of baby seals, in one of the world most horrific practices of pardoned criminal cruelty. Learn how to help stop this cruel hunt.Hosted by Katia Louise assisted by Amanda Daniel, with Diva Vega live in the chat room as the Coordinator for Simulcast Discussions.Help spread the word to save the seals.Additional Guests TBA Soon!Learn More on the Show & Resourc
