What does it mean to be a wild animal in a world dominated by humans? A recent study found that city-dwelling raccoons' snouts are getting shorter—a sign of domestication. Another study on dark-eyed juncos living on a Los Angeles college campus found that their beaks changed shape during the COVID-19 lockdown, when there wasn't as much food and trash on campus.  Evolutionary biologist Pamela Yeh and animal domestication expert Raffaela Lesch join Host Flora Lichtman to discuss how wildlife is evolving in urban areas, what it means to be domesticated, and when we can expect to have a pet raccoon sleeping at the foot of the bed.  Guests:Dr. Pamela Yeh is a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at UCLA.Dr. Raffaela Lesch is an assistant professor of biology at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates 14.5 million wild vertebrate animals are killed on Oregon’s roadways each year. Data shows it’s difficult to control driver behavior with things like road signs and traffic regulations. A more effective way to mitigate animal fatalities is by redirecting the animals themselves. Wildlife crossings — human-made structures that allow animals to safely pass through habitats near roadways — have been a successful tool in preventing animal-motor fatalities. States like Montana, Colorado and California have over 100 wildlife crossings, while Oregon has only six. Rachel Wheat is a spatial ecologist who serves as the wildlife connectivity coordinator for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. She joins us to discuss her work and tactics for improving transportation infrastructure for wildlife in Oregon.

RAVENS BEFRIEND DALLAS AND DISPLACE THE COCKATOOS Colleague Jeremy Zakis. Zakis updates the backyard wildlife saga, noting the arrival of intelligent Ravens that have befriended his dog, Dallas. Unlike the aggressive Cockatoos that damaged a neighbor's roof, the Ravens displayed strategic dominance by organizedly displacing the Cockatoos from a pine tree. Zakis describes the Ravens' "surgical" approach, using vocal harassment and gradual escalation rather than brute force to claim the territory. He observes that while the Cockatoos still lurk, the Ravens have established control. Additionally, he counts at least five Magpie families in the area, with several actively visiting his property to interact with Dallas.

My 2025 Review of My Travels, Winging It, Personal Goals + What Is To Come in 2026.In this bonus New Year's Day episode of Winging It, I'm taking a deep dive into my 2025 travel year, the evolution of the podcast, and what's coming next in 2026.I break down the numbers behind my travels — 22 flights, 90,000km flown, nine countries, three new destinations — but more importantly, I reflect on the moments that shaped me as a traveller and storyteller. From seeing wild elephants in India to sharing breakfast with a Bhutanese monk overlooking Thimphu, this episode is about perspective, purpose, and how travel changes over time.I also open up about the realities of running a long-form travel podcast, including burnout, why I'm stepping back from guest-heavy interviews, and why immersive, sound-rich storytelling is where Winging It is heading next.If you're interested in slow vs purposeful travel, how travel content is evolving, or what it's really like to juggle full-time work with global adventures, this episode pulls the curtain back.In this episode, I talk about:My full 2025 travel recap across Asia, Europe, Australia, and North AmericaWhy Bhutan was my favourite country and Bangkok my favourite cityThe most surreal travel moment of my life (and why it changed me)What I learned after releasing 57 podcast episodes in one yearWhy immersive travel podcasts matter more than everHow travel priorities shift as you get olderThe behind-the-scenes reality of podcasting, pitching, and guest fatigueBecoming a dual UK–Canadian citizen and what that means for future travelA full preview of my Bhutan podcast series is coming in 2026Upcoming trips, travel ideas, and where Winging It is heading nextThis episode is part travel reflection, part creator reality check, and part forward-looking roadmap for anyone who loves meaningful, honest travel stories.

A 550-pound bear has been living under a California man's home for over a month, and the state's response? "Just wait it out." You can't make this up. California Department of Fish and Wildlife set a trap, caught the wrong bear, tried air horns that barely fazed the beast, then simply told the homeowner he's on his own. Meanwhile, the bear has destroyed his gas pipes, shredded insulation, and he's had no hot water since Christmas Eve. The best part? Another California man just got hit with a felony charge for shooting a wild turkey with a pellet gun. So let me get this straight—shoot a turkey, felony charges. Let a 550-pound tagged bear terrorize a homeowner? That's the state's problem to ignore. The homeowner is now suing for negligence and emotional distress, and honestly, he might have a case. What happened to basic government services? Why is Fish and Wildlife collecting paychecks if their solution is "good luck, buddy"? Let us know in the comments what you'd do with Yogi Bear camping under your house. Don't forget to subscribe and share this madness!

Controlling wild goats is proving tricky in Scotland's border country. While herds can damage trees and outgrow their food supply, these fierce yet endearing creatures have a place in people's hearts, and they are believed to be a link to our Stone-Age ancestors. As different landowners carry out their own culls, there are fears of a devastating impact on the population. Richard Baynes finds out how it's hoped herds can be controlled, but kept healthy.Produced and presented by Richard Baynes.

Episode Description: In Part 1 of this two-part episode, I'm joined by Noah, the Interpretive Ranger at Mission Tejas State Park, to explore the people, purpose, and deep history behind one of East Texas's most meaningful parks.We start by getting to know Noah, how he found his way into park work with Texas Parks & Wildlife, what drew him specifically to Mission Tejas, and what a “typical day” really looks like for an interpretive ranger. From visitor interactions to behind-the-scenes moments, Noah shares what makes this role so rewarding, along with a few stories that stick with you long after you leave the park.From there, we dive into the identity of Mission Tejas itself. For those who've never visited, Noah paints a picture of the park and its atmosphere, then walks us through its deep historical roots, including the story of the original Spanish mission, its role in Texas's colonial past, and the importance of El Camino Real de los Tejas. We also talk about how the reconstructed mission is interpreted today and how the park balances preserving history while still offering modern outdoor recreation.We wrap up this episode by shifting into the natural side of Mission Tejas, its trail system, terrain, and what hikers can expect when they explore the park on foot. Noah shares popular routes, personal favorites, lesser-known spots visitors often miss, and the kinds of wildlife guests might encounter along the way.This episode is about more than just a place, it's about stewardship, storytelling, and why parks like Mission Tejas matter.

In this Podcast Stefan Baumann describes how to create a body of work that is autobiographical and represents the life with living that we all are on a journey with on this planet. To understand how to create autobiographical work will be the foundation of how we move forward and how we separate ourselves from work created by AI and work that is truly created at a passion. In an age dominated by digital influence and AI, people seek authentic connection. Buyers and audiences want art that reflects real human circumstances and feelings, not just flawless images. They want to feel the presence of an artist who has lived through struggle, joy, doubt, and hope. My creative process embraces chance and randomness. Using my phone like a tool of Russian roulette, I access snapshots of a life worth living. These everyday digital fragments—photos, messages, moments—form an autobiographical record. By reinterpreting them, I create visual stories that reveal truths often overlooked. Each image I choose reflects a part of my life's story, rich with personal meaning. Together, they form a mosaic that speaks to universal human experiences. This emotional connection makes my work uniquely meaningful to collectors seeking depth beyond surface beauty. My art is a living archive of memories and emotions that go deeper than any AI can mimic. It conveys vulnerability, hope, nostalgia—the intangible feelings that give life to my pieces. I want collectors to connect with my work on an emotional level, recognizing themselves in the stories I tell. To do this, I use techniques that embrace imperfection and spontaneity, highlighting raw human emotion rather than polished digital perfection. Even when using digital tools, I prioritize authenticity. I balance technology with intentionality, resisting over-curation to keep the truth of each moment alive. Themes of community, memory, vulnerability, and time run through my art, reflecting what I consider a life worth living: one filled with connection, discovery, and self-reflection. These ideas appear through layered images and symbolic contrasts between presence and absence. Challenges in my life have shaped my artistic voice, adding depth and honesty to my work. These experiences inform how I see the world and the stories I choose to share. What sets my art apart from AI-generated work is its emotional depth and humanity. AI can create images, but it cannot replicate the lived experience and conscious reflection behind my pieces. I am committed to transforming the chaos and beauty of everyday life into art that speaks to our shared humanity. This is the essence of my journey as an artist. #MixedMediaNarratives #HumanVulnerability #MemoryCollage #SpontaneousImagery #LayeredEmotions #AuthenticDigitalArt #AntiAIAesthetics #SelfReflectiveStoriesSupport the showFor more information go to www.StefanBaumann.com https://www.stefanbaumann.com/Free Book For painting, coaching call me on my phone at 415-606-9074

Welcome to the thirty-ninth episode of the Zoology Ramblings Podcast! In this episode, Emma and Robi adopt a wintery, festive theme for this December episode. They start by looking back at their wildlife adventures from 2025. Robi also explores the question 'to Beave or Not To Beave?', when considering the role of beavers contributing to natural flood management. For his species of the week, Robi discusses the festive reindeer and Emma talks about the Arctic fox and her special connection to them in Iceland. For their local conservation stories, Robi spotlights some exciting new research showing how reintroducing wolves in Scotland could help regenerate forests and sequester carbon. Emma platforms the European Young Rewilders, with Emma and Robi keen to join the movement. Robi and Emma end with their global conservation news, with Robi delving deeper into polar bear hunting and management, breaking down WWF's stance on this topic. Emma ends by sharing some sad new for snowy owls in Sweden, but also some better news for the species in North America. We look forward to bringing you with us into 2026!Robi Watkinson is a Conservation Biologist and wildlife filmmaker specialising in the spatial and movement ecology of large carnivores, camera trapping survey methods, rewilding, metapopulation dynamics and conservation planning. He has an MSc in Conservation Biology from the FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology, and the Institute of Communities and Wildlife in Africa, University of Cape Town. He is based between Cape Town and London, and has strong interests in equitable and inclusive conservation, palaeontology and wildlife taxonomy and evolution!Emma Hodson is a Zoologist and wildlife content creator, currently working in the community and engagement team at Avon Wildlife Trust.

Happy holidays! Thanks for tuning into THE WILD. I’m so glad you’re here. THE WILD team is hard at work on some more brand-new episodes that will come out in the new year. But for now, I want to revisit a very popular episode from last season that I think is perfect for this busy time of holiday travel. It’s a conversation I had with author Ben Goldfarb about roads and their impact on pretty much everything in the natural world. So, if you’re piling into the car to get to the airport, or taking a road trip to visit your friends and family, give a listen to this episode. I bet it’ll get you thinking differently about America’s roads. We'll be back in your feed in a few weeks. Have a happy and safe holiday season!

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Bob shares a terrifying firsthand encounter that haunted him for over 50 years. In 1972 near Westerville, Ohio, a teenage walk along railroad tracks and wooded clearings turned into a life-altering nightmare when Bob came face to face with two massive Bigfoot-like beings.What began as a quiet nighttime trip quickly escalated when one creature stood upright in a clearing under a full moon—and another, far larger, charged from the woods, crashing through trees and paralleling Bob all the way back to the road. Bob describes the encounter as intelligent, intentional, and deeply aggressive, leaving him with lasting PTSD, fear of the woods, and decades of silence.Listener Disclaimer:This episode includes discussion of trauma, suicide, and suicidal thoughts.

Christmas tree fires are frightening, but they're not the leading cause of house fires in the U.S. What's surprising is how many fires start from everyday habits and household choices most people never think twice about. This episode begins with a look at several common yet overlooked causes of home fires. Source: https://www.bobvila.com/articles/fire-safety/#.Viz3ILerTIU We alter our own memories far more than we realize. We forget details, highlight the good parts, and unintentionally distort events over time. Now scientists are exploring how to deliberately modify specific memories — softening painful recollections and strengthening positive ones. Steve Ramirez explains how memory really works and where this groundbreaking research is headed. He is an associate professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University, a TED speaker, and author of How to Change a Memory: One Neuroscientist's Quest to Alter the Past (https://amzn.to/3KFiLJp). Wildlife encounters seem to be increasing — bears on porches, coyotes in yards, bobcats strolling down suburban streets. Are these animals getting more comfortable with humans? Are we building into their territory? And what should you actually do during a close encounter? Randi Minetor, author of more than 90 books including The Bear at the Bird Feeder: Why We're Seeing More Wild Animals in Our Neighborhoods and How We Can Live in Harmony with Them (https://amzn.to/4pHy5UM), offers insight and practical advice. Seeing flashing police lights in your rearview mirror is enough to make anyone nervous. Once you're pulled over, what should you do — and just as important, what should you not do — when the officer approaches your window? We wrap up with key tips to help keep the encounter calm and trouble-free. Source: https://www.aamva.org/law-enforcement/what-to-do-when-stopped-by-law-enforcement PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

Bear attacks in Japan have been in the news a lot recently. There have been over 220 attacks so far this year, and a record 13 people dead. Why is this happening? And what can be done about it? There’s a lot of information out there, and it’s hard to separate fact from fiction when it comes to conflicts with wildlife. So I made two quick phone calls: one to a reporter from The New York Times and another to a Japanese bear biologist to figure out what’s really going on. Guests:Javier C.
