Podcasts about mammals

Mammals are (in Gavin's biased opinion) the best vertebrates, but some are mammals are weirder than others. Monotremes are without a doubt the weirdest mammals and it's not even close. But what are they? Who are they? And why do they wear hats to disguise themselves from mad scientists?

These incredibly unique and cute cetaceans are quickly vanishing before our very eyes. Within the past decade, going from several hundred to less than 25 left. These creatures serve as a reminder of what happens when we don't take care of a species.

In this week's Talking Travel, Rory will be talking about the natural world. September is time where many different animals will begin migrating for the winter, so how far do some of them travel just to survive the winter?

Today, the Safari heads out to Escondido, CA, to the world famous San Diego Zoo Safari Park. I sit down with Marco, one of the two ambassadors of the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. We talk about his unique path to his career, how a background in training led to an office job that usually keeps him out of the office, why birds are his first love, and so much more! EPISODE LINKS: @zoologymarco on socials @sandiegozoo on socials @sdzsafaripark on socials sandiegozoowildlifealliance.org ROSSIFARI LINKS: @rossifari on socials @rossifaripod on TikTok Rossifari.com patreon.com/rossifari to support the pod

Carl Wright never intended to make a garden when he bought an old cottage in The Burren. Had he known he'd become smitten with plants he wouldn't have chosen to live in an area famous for it's limestone rock covered by a thin layer of soil. But after importing hundreds of tons of topsoil over 25 years he has created a garden like no other. It's a space that sensitively fits into its unique surroundings and is full of valuable lessons for those wanting to bring an old overgrown garden back from the brink. Also on the programme, Adam Frost chooses cotinus ‘Grace' as his shrub of the month. Garden wildlife expert Katy Bell brings in her skull collection and chats about mammals to look out for in the garden during autumn. Rosie Maye joins David in studio to answer listeners' questions and bring some seasonal gardening inspiration. Email the programme at gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk

Little Brown Bats are facing a disease that is pushing them to extinction. Filmmaker Kristin Tièche followed a group of female scientists working to save brown bats, in her new documentary "The Invisible Mammal." 

On today's show a musician from Walnut Creek makes it to the quarter finals on "America's Got Talent." Then, "Misfit Cabaret" celebrates 10 years of out-of-the-box fun on stage. And we look back at a documentary about women scientists trying to save little brown bats from extinction.

The Mammals (Ruth Ungar and Mike Merenda, who also have a project called Mike & Ruthy) are a band from the Woodstock area with deep roots in the folk scene and traditions of the area, have worked with Arlo Guthrie, and Pete Seeger (amongst others), are critically acclaimed by LA Times, No Depression, NPR, PopMatters, and run the roots music festival called The Hoot. We talk with them about gratitude for the ability to create art and music, having faith in the low moments, being links in the (musical) chain, square dancing, and a whole lot more.Get more access and support this show by subscribing to our Patreon, right here.Links:The MammalsThe HootThe Ashokan CenterArlo GuthrieUtah PhillipsAni DifrancoWoody GuthrieEric WardWestern State CenterKen Burns Civil WarJay UngarDaniel QuinnClick here to watch this conversation on YouTube.Social Media:The Other 22 Hours InstagramThe Other 22 Hours TikTokMichaela Anne InstagramAaron Shafer-Haiss InstagramAll music written, performed, and produced by Aaron Shafer-Haiss.

Will Deacy is the Large Mammal Ecologist at Rocky Mountain National Park, where he plays a key role in managing some of the park's most iconic wildlife. With a background that includes grizzly bear research on Kodiak Island in Alaska, Will brings a wealth of experience to his work with Rocky's booming elk and moose populations—species that have flourished in the absence of natural predators.In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of large mammals at Rocky Mountain National Park. Will shares insights into the ecological challenges of managing these populations and what it takes to maintain a balanced and healthy ecosystem in one of America's most beloved parks. We also chat through the importance of wetlands and riparian areas and the negative effects that large moose and elk have on these fragile ecosystems. Will is an incredible human who has accomplished so much in his role as a large mammal ecologist. I am grateful for his work and thankful for his time on this podcast. ______________Follow us on social!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/safetravelspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@safetravelspodYouTube: youtube.com/@safetravelspodSafetravelspod.com

In this episode, Jethro dives face-first into one of the most perplexing murder investigations in modern history—complete with bizarre circumstances, inexplicable evidence, and a twist so jaw-dropping it left seasoned detectives cross-eyed. It's a true crime story that starts strange and somehow gets stranger. Meanwhile, Kat digs up the mystery of Attenborough's long-beaked echidna—a creature that sounds like it was designed by a committee of science fiction writers and hallucinating zoologists. It has a beak. It lays eggs. It's covered in spines. And it hasn't been officially spotted since 1961. Is it extinct, mythical… or just extremely introverted? It's true crime meets cryptid chic in a brand new episode of The Box of Oddities—where the inexplicable isn't a bug, it's the main feature.

In 1954, a young David Attenborough made his début as the star of a new nature show called “Zoo Quest.” The docuseries, which ran for nearly a decade on the BBC, was a sensation that set Attenborough down the path of his life's work: exposing viewers to our planet's most miraculous creatures and landscapes from the comfort of their living rooms. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace Attenborough's filmography from “Zoo Quest” to his program, “Mammals,” a six-part series on BBC America narrated by the now- ninety-eight-year-old presenter. In the seventy years since “Zoo Quest” first aired, the genre it helped create has had to reckon with the effects of the climate crisis—and to figure out how to address such hot-button issues onscreen. By highlighting conservation efforts that have been successful, the best of these programs affirm our continued agency in the planet's future. “One thing I got from ‘Mammals' was not pure doom,” Schwartz says. “There are some options here. We have choices to make.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Mammals” (2024)“Zoo Quest” (1954-63)“Are We Changing Planet Earth?” (2006)“The Snow Leopard,” by Peter Matthiessen“My Octopus Teacher” (2020)“Life on Our Planet” (2023)“I Like to Get High at Night and Think About Whales,” by Samantha IrbyNew episodes drop every Thursday.

What if our lack of understanding about our inner mamma selves was what was holding us back from living more fulfilled lives. Loretta Breuning, PhD was frustrated as a professor and a mom, about how we were studying, teaching and applying learnings on motivation and happiness, and so she retired early from academia to study the mammalian brain and see if we might better optimise our natural wiring - what she found has seen her produce 10 books, translated into 16 languages and today we explore: Tribe: Myths and misunderstandingsSafety in numbers? Well, for some, yes, for others, it can mean death. Happiness: If we get it for free, or chase someone else's version? No good!Motivation and reward: What is the ease of access to each other and technology doing here? So fascinating. It gave me a great deal to reflect on and challenged some of my previously held understandings. I hope you love the show and discuss it with a friend - or me on socials!

In Nature's Memory: Behind the Scenes at the World's Natural History Museums (Penguin, 2025), zoologist Jack Ashby shares hidden stories behind the world's iconic natural history museums, from enormous mounted whale skeletons to cabinets of impossibly tiny insects. Look closely and all is not as it seems: these museums are not as natural, Ashby shows us, as we might think. Mammals dominate the displays, for example, even though they make up less than 1 percent of species; there are many more male specimens than females; and often a museum's most popular draw – the dinosaur skeletons – are not actually real. Over 99 percent of museum collections are held in immense, unseen storehouses. And it's becoming clear that these institutions have not been as honest about their complex histories as they should be. Yet natural history museums are also the only museums that can save the world – it is just starting to be understood that their vast collections are indispensable resources in the fight against biodiversity loss and climate catastrophe. Weaving together fresh historical research with surprising insights, Nature's Memory is a love letter to the joys, eccentricities and planet-saving potential of the world's best-loved museums. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In Nature's Memory: Behind the Scenes at the World's Natural History Museums (Penguin, 2025), zoologist Jack Ashby shares hidden stories behind the world's iconic natural history museums, from enormous mounted whale skeletons to cabinets of impossibly tiny insects. Look closely and all is not as it seems: these museums are not as natural, Ashby shows us, as we might think. Mammals dominate the displays, for example, even though they make up less than 1 percent of species; there are many more male specimens than females; and often a museum's most popular draw – the dinosaur skeletons – are not actually real. Over 99 percent of museum collections are held in immense, unseen storehouses. And it's becoming clear that these institutions have not been as honest about their complex histories as they should be. Yet natural history museums are also the only museums that can save the world – it is just starting to be understood that their vast collections are indispensable resources in the fight against biodiversity loss and climate catastrophe.

Mammals encompass some of the most interesting animals on the planet. We can see how bats have mastered the sky with wings like birds or how dolphins have adapted streamlined bodies for life in the ocean just like fish. The ability to evolve similar characteristics to overcome common problems found in the environment is called convergent evolution and opens our eyes to the fundamentals of how life has changed to face the challenges of our planet. One such trait that is the product of convergent evolution is echolocation, which is the subject of research for our guest on the show this week Serena Frazee.

Send us a textThe scene on the beach was horrific. Thousands of mothers and baby elephant seals lay in the sand, taken out by a deadly virus.Dr. Marcela Uhart and her colleagues were shocked by what they found after the H5N1 avian influenza virus swept through a colony of elephant seals on the coast of Argentina's far south Patagonia region. More than 17,000 of the animals had died, their bodies ravaged by the virus.H5N1 bird flu has swept around the world, destroying poultry flocks and wildlife. Like other influenza viruses, it mutates constantly and swaps genetic material in a process called reassortment. It can now infect not just birds, but livestock such as cattle and sheep as well as mink, pet cats, sea lions, and human beings.It has devastated egg production and threatens dairy operations. The biggest fear is that it will acquire both the ability to spread from human to human and maintain its most deadly qualities. An H5N1 pandemic has the potential to be much, much worse than Covid-19 was.People can't be ready for the virus unless the world keeps an eye on it. That's what Uhart, who is Director of the Latin America Program at the Karen C. Drayer Wildlife Health Center at the University of California, Davis, is trying to do. That's why her team studied the bodies of the dead elephant seals and other animals killed by the virus.“Mammal-to-mammal transmission could be a stepping-stone in the evolutionary pathway for these viruses to become capable of human-to-human transmission,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Nature.“What we can learn from what happens in wildlife is crucial,” Uhart says. “That is where these viruses evolve.”Listen as Uhart chats with One World, One Health host Maggie Fox about what her team discovered in Patagonia and what it might mean for every animal on the planet, including  humans.And listen to our other podcast episodes looking at H5N1 bird flu and how we should be preparing for the next pandemic.

Greetings, dear listener, and welcome back to "Jump on the Bat-Wagon" with James and Brian, where we watch through the entire DC Animated Universe from start to finish in the controversial airdate order, to experience these shows the way human beings experienced them in the far-gone days of the 1990s.

Dr. Paul Alexander Liberty Hour – We have no clear definitive evidence on spread from where to where, and ZERO instances of human-to-human spread and risk is just that...  'risk.' We know humans have gotten some mild symptoms as they cull infected birds, touching them while causing food shortages and driving prices up. I say again, focus only on infected birds (proven) or birds and animals with...

We all think we know the story of pregnancy. Sperm meets egg, followed by nine months of nurturing, nesting, and quiet incubation. this story isn't the nursery rhyme we think it is. In a way, it's a struggle, almost like a tiny war. And right on the front lines of that battle is another major player on the stage of pregnancy that not a single person on the planet would be here without. An entirely new organ: the placenta.In this episode, which we originally released in 2021, we take you on a journey through the 270-day life of this weird, squishy, gelatinous orb, and discover that it is so much more than an organ. It's a foreign invader. A piece of meat. A friend and parent. And it's perhaps the most essential piece in the survival of our kind.This episode was reported by Heather Radke and Becca Bressler, and produced by Becca Bressler and Pat Walters, with help from Matt Kielty and Maria Paz Gutierrez.
