Podcasts about zoos

Zoos have come a long way—and in this episode of The Backyard Naturalists Podcast, Debbie and Laurie kick off their first recording of 2026 by exploring just how different modern zoos are from those many of us remember as kids. From concrete enclosures to expansive, naturalistic habitats, today's zoos play a vital role not only in animal care, but in global conservation. Joining the conversation is Drew Cronin, Director of Conservation Education and Science at the North Carolina Zoo, who offers an eye-opening look at how zoos now serve as powerful hubs for research, education, and worldwide conservation action. Drew shares insights from nearly two decades of work across North America, Africa, and beyond, highlighting innovative projects like the SMART Partnership, a groundbreaking conservation technology platform now used in more than 1,500 protected areas worldwide. From protecting amphibians in North Carolina to supporting national park systems in Africa and Indigenous wildlife monitoring in Canada, this episode is packed with "whoa moments" that show how conservation success depends on empowering people, funding protection efforts, and rethinking our relationship with wildlife. If you think zoos are just about animals behind glass, this conversation may completely change your perspective. Episode highlights include: How modern zoos support global conservation, not just local exhibits Why habitat protection is as much about people as it is about wildlife The challenge of funding and capacity in worldwide conservation efforts A behind-the-scenes look at innovative technology shaping the future of protected areas

SYNOPSIS:In this live Q&A episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, host Ali Mezey is joined by fan-favorite guest and Longevity Zoologist, Dr. Zoolittle (“Penny”) for a wide-ranging, eye-opening conversation on how we can radically improve the health, happiness, and lifespan of our animal companions.Together, Ali and Penny explore what it truly means to be intelligent caretakers of animals – moving beyond conventional pet care toward a rewilded, biologically informed approach rooted in functional and regenerative medicine. Penny explains why pets used to live much longer, how modern lifestyles disrupt animal biology, and what we can learn from wild animals about instinct, self-medication, nutrition, movement, and rest.The discussion dives into practical and often surprising topics, including animal instinct versus learned behavior, why dogs don't naturally overeat, how feeding patterns affect hormones and longevity, the profound impact of spaying and neutering on animal health, and the importance of species-appropriate diets. Penny also answers audience questions on indoor cats, fasting, raw versus cooked food, enrichment, and how to bring nature back into our pets' lives – even within modern homes.This episode challenges deeply ingrained assumptions about pet care and offers compassionate, science-based insights that empower animal guardians to support their companions in thriving – not just surviving – well into old age. A must-listen for anyone who loves animals and wants to honor the intelligence of their bodies as much as our own.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeALI BIO: Ali Mezey is a Body Therapist, Family Constellation Work Facilitator, Sexologist and Media Maker with over 40 years of experience.

What does good welfare really look like for bears and other non-human animals living in zoos—and how can we measure it in meaningful, practical ways?In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Anna Fourage, animal welfare expert, to explore the development of welfare assessment tools for captive bears, with a special focus on zoos across Asia and Thailand. She co-founded People or Pets in China, holds an MSc in International Animal Welfare, Ethics, and Law from the University of Edinburgh, and just finished her PhD in anthropology researching the role of zoos in Thailand. Anna shares key insights from recent research on creating a composite welfare assessment tool for hibernatory bears, unpacking its major findings, strengths, and current limitations.We dive into the reliability of keeper ratings as welfare indicators across different institutions, discussing the real challenges of intra- and inter-rater consistency. Together, we explore which behavioural, physiological, and environmental indicators are currently the most valid for assessing bear welfare.Beyond the science, this conversation tackles the practical and ethical realities of zoo welfare. How can welfare tools be designed to be both scientifically robust and realistically usable, especially in resource-limited settings? What are the biggest barriers facing Thai zoos in improving welfare standards?We also broaden the lens to the global ethical challenges of keeping large mammals in captivity, discussing the evolving mission of modern zoos—balancing conservation, education, and animal welfare—and how visitors can be meaningfully engaged in that mission.An essential listen for anyone interested in animal welfare science, zoo ethics, conservation, andthe future of captive wildlife care.Dive deeper...Environmental Parameters as Indicators of Bear Welfare (Fourage et al. 2025)-  https://doi.org/10.1002/zoo.70010High Prevalence of Dysfunctional Animal–Visitor Interactions in 225 Southeast Asian Zoos and Aquariums (Fourage et al., 2024)-  https://doi.org/10.3390/ani14223167Increase in the number of captive lions in Thailand suggests ineffective legislation (Fourage et al., 2025)  https://doi.org/10.1007/s44353-025-00040-4If you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please email: podcast.daretocare@gmail.com.We are always happy about feedback!FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS - Instagram: @daretocare_podcast

A new observation theater at a zoo in northern New Jersey lets visitors see animals get live medical treatments. Veterinarians at the Turtle Back Zoo hope the new installation educates people on the care that animals receive at the zoo while inspiring kids to pursue medicine as a profession. One morning, visitors peered through a large glass window into a new, spacious treatment room, watching as a middle-aged female turkey vulture with arthritis underwent a 30-minute wellness check. During the exam, she was anesthetized, X-rayed, had her eyes and wings examined, had blood drawn, and was microchipped. The animal wound up at the zoo after breaking its wing in the wild. The experience was new not only for the turkey vulture but also a novelty for many of the onlookers, because few zoos offer a window on veterinary care. The Turtle Back Zoo, this year, joined the relatively few U.S. zoos that routinely give the public a view of veterinary care. While there's no exact count, it's perhaps a dozen or fewer of the 250 animal parks accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. In an era when social media campaigns and lawsuits have questioned the well-being of captive animals, some zoos see putting vets on view as a form of transparency. The compact, suburban Turtle Back Zoo is recognized for its contributions to conserving clouded leopards and caring for ailing wild sea turtles. More whimsically, it's known for fostering a friendship between a cheetah and Labrador retriever that had a social media moment. Opened in 1963, the county-owned zoo was threatened with closure amid financial problems and poor attendance in the mid-1990s. A steady march of renovations and additions in the 2000s turned things around, and it now draws nearly 1 million visitors per year. In recent years, a need to upgrade the animal hospital evolved into a plan for a multi-million-dollar new building. Financed with county, state, and federal grants, it opened in April and lets visitors see into areas including the treatment and surgical rooms. The Barry H. Ostrowsky Animal Wellness Center also includes rooms for quarantine, nursery, and data research. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

In Brasilien ist ein vermutlich geistig beeinträchtigter 19-Jähriger in ein Löwengehege geklettert und hat es mit dem Leben bezahlt. In den letzten Jahren kam es immer wieder zu Zwischenfällen, in denen sich Zoobesucher entweder aktiv selbst oder Eltern durch Unachtsamkeit ihre Kinder in Lebengefahr gebracht haben. Ein berühmter Fall in der Vergangenheit war der Tod des Gorillas Harambe. Die Löwin in Brasilien musste, anders als Harambe, den Zwischenfall allerdings nicht mit dem eigenen Leben bezahlen. Aber wie gehen die Zoos und die Berichterstattung mit solchen Situationen um und wer steht in der Verantwortung? Außerdem beschäftigen wir uns diese Woche ganz spontan mit Gespenstern und Gruselgeschichten aus dem deutschen Raum. Wären wir vollkommen bescheuert Ouija zu spielen oder kann das mal machen? Und was hat es mit der sogenannten Schwarzen Pädagogik aufsich?

Step into a natural history museum, sometimes called a ‘dead zoo', and you will find yourself surrounded by silence. Behind glass cases and inside drawers lie animals long gone: the Tasmanian tiger, the quagga, birds that no longer take flight, creatures whose skins and bones now carry only the weight of memory. These preserved remains are meant to represent care - careful handling, careful storage, and careful cataloguing, in a tribute to the long dead and sometimes extinct. But as Dr Katrina Schlunke, from the University of Potsdam and Sydney, argues, the care offered by museums is not so simple. It is bound up with histories of colonialism, extinction, and exclusion, which are typically not explored or acknowledged in the displays we encounter.

Elephants should be completely removed from all zoos. That's the call in a new report from advocacy group Freedom For Animals, who also argue that traditional zoos such as Dublin Zoo with “old-fashioned programmes and tiny enclosures are at risk of falling behind” modern best practice. So are zoos still fit for purpose in the modern day? We asked Animal Advocate and Founder of Animals Behind Closed Doors, Gerry Boland and Biologist, Environmentalist, Broadcaster and Author, Eanna Ní Lamhna.

Joey hat ein gebrochenens Herz. Ausgelöst durch Julia, denn die erzählt uns heute ausführlich, wie uninspirierend und langweilig ihr Frühstück so aussieht. Für Joey als absoluten Frühstück-Experten gleicht das natürlich einem Weltuntergang, aber keine Sorge: Er hat's gerade so überlebt. Heute wird es so ernst wie sonst nie. Ziemlich ungeplant um ehrlich zu sein, denn wir wollten in dieser Folge mal etwas Anderes ausprobieren und haben ein neues Spiel eingeführt, was unsere Hirnzellen so richtig rattern lassen hat. Wir räumen heute auf mit Vorurteilen über Bodyimage, stellen die Daseinsberechtigungen von Schuluniformen und Zoos in Frage und berichten über unsere (naja, eigentlich nur Joeys) traumatisierenden Erlebnisse in diversen Ferienlagern.

Invité: Jean Estebanez. Les zoos sont à la fois appréciés des enfants et de plus en plus critiqués, à lʹheure de la montée de la sensibilité envers les animaux et de lʹantispécisme. Ils révèlent notre rapport ambigu au vivant, entre liberté et captivité, entre fascination et malaise. Que vient-on chercher au zoo? Comment évoluent-ils? Que disent-ils de nous, êtres humains?

What does it take to make a city nearly rabies-free without harming a single stray dog? How can compassion transform centuries-old practices of animal exploitation into humane alternatives? In this powerful episode we sit down with Timmie Kumar, Managing Trustee of Help in Suffering and a pioneer in India's animal welfare movement.Why This Episode Matters:Animal welfare in India is often overshadowed by human struggles, but compassion is not a zero-sum game. Timmie Kumar reveals how Jaipur became a model for humane street dog management while challenging animal cruelty in festivals, weddings, and traditions. She also stresses the need to regulate pet ownership, end animal testing, and build empathy through education so kindness becomes a way of life.Lessons in Compassion & Change:Jaipur's rabies-free success shows that large-scale humane interventions can save lives.Abandonment and overbreeding must end.Sensitization of police/authorities can transform society.From animal testing to zoos and sacrificial rituals, cruelty must never be justified as entertainment or tradition.Connect with UsMohua Chinappa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohua-chinappa/The Mohua Show: https://www.themohuashow.com/Connect with the Guest:Timmie Kumar: https://www.instagram.com/timmie.kumar/ Help in Suffering: https://www.instagram.com/helpinsuffering/ References:Help in Suffering, PETA India on Zoos & Elephants, General Animal Welfare Legislation in IndiaFollow UsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMohuaShowLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/themohuashow/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themohuashowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themohuashow/More Episodes Like This:Gargi Rawat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc3xZ8wf5do For any other queries EMAILhello@themohuashow.comDisclaimerThe views expressed by our guests are their own.

Before Everything Everywhere All At Once, and after Swiss Army Man and the "Turn Down for What" music video, Daniel Scheinert directed a commercially unsuccessful indie film called "The Death of Dick Long." It's about two friends who get into a heap of trouble horsing around in Alabama. They drop their curiously injured friend Dick Long off at the emergency room one night, and the suspense that ensues next leads the audience down a path they'll never forget (for better or for worse). Since 2019 and the success of Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Death of Dick Long has garnered somewhat of a cult following amongst A24 fans as a dark comedy with beautiful cinematography. How will the A24 rocks crew saddle up for this one?

In a segment titled "Three Random Questions," BT and Sal tackled a series of unrelated topics with their signature fiery passion. The debate covered whether you can stay in a work fantasy league after leaving a job, the ethics and enjoyment of visiting a zoo, and the perplexing debate over whether a tennis ball is yellow or green. Their lively and opinionated discussion turned what could have been mundane questions into a spirited and entertaining exchange, showcasing their ability to find a strong opinion on any topic.

On Friday's show: The Houston Chronicle is reporting that UTHealth Houston is laying off dozens of employees due to “financial headwinds.” The move comes after the academic health science center implemented a hiring freeze in early July. Is this and other belt tightening at area health care institutions in recent months a momentary blip or a sign of more to come for Houston's health care industry? Health economist Vivian Ho breaks down what it all means.Also this hour: Not all zoos and aquariums are created equal. While many advertise fun for the whole family or showcase loved and well-cared-for animals, the reality is that caring for a multitude of exotic and endangered species requires extensive education and expertise. We learn how the AZA and the Houston Zoo set and enforce standards to make sure all animals get the best care possible.Then, from HISD being among the 11 Texas school districts temporarily blocked from displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms after a ruling in federal court, to the City of Houston launching a “Train Watch” webpage with real-time info on rail crossings with stopped trains, our panel of "non-experts" decides The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.And veteran voice actor Phil LaMarr talks about the many characters he's voiced. He's one of many voice actors and celebrities coming to Houston this weekend for The Nostalgia Con at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

ALEJANDRO GRAJAL  Alejandro has lived and breathed the amazing natural ecosystems that make up our beloved planet. He is also an accomplished  and prolific author that currently leads Woodland Park Zoo, one of the largest zoos in America with a legacy of 126 years and one of the most important cultural and most visited institutions in Seattle.  He is internationally known for his vision to define a new relationship between humans and nature by helping to restore the deep, affective bond between people and animals. He advocates for zoos as the best community institutions to create a social movement for conservation, to foster science learning beyond the classroom, and to ensure that all people have access to nature, regardless of socioeconomic background. Before joining the zoo, Alejandro served as senior vice president for conservation, education and training at the Chicago Zoological Society/Brookfield Zoo, where he headed the Center for Conservation Leadership, oversaw field conservation and research programs for the Center for the Science of Animal Welfare, and supervised education programs. Previously, he had served as executive director of international programs for the National Audubon Society and director of Latin American programs at the Wildlife Conservation Society in New York. A noted author, Alejandro's publications include 45 peer-reviewed books, chapters, and scientific and popular articles covering topics which span the psychology of conservation, measuring the impact of environmental education, the sustainable use of natural resources and ornithology, among others. He leads the Climate Literacy Zoo Education Network (CliZEN), a coalition of zoological institutions, universities and NGOs.  In 2016, Trustees of the Chicago Zoological Society awarded him the prestigious George B. Raab Medal for Conservation Leadership, recognizing his lifelong contributions to environmental and species protection, and inspiring future generations of scientists and leaders to tackle big questions about living harmoniously with all beings on the planet.  In his spare time, he is an accomplished wildlife artist whose work has been exhibited in galleries in major cities.

A feed drop from the Secretly Incredibly Fascinating podcast, with me and Alex Schmidt! On this very Creaturey-featurey episode, we talk about the history of zoos, and tons of cool zoo facts! Baby pygmy hippos definitely mentioned! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wie immer beginnen wir unser Programm mit einem Rückblick auf einige aktuelle Ereignisse. In unserer ersten Diskussion geht es um die Entlassung der Chefstatistikerin der US-Regierung aufgrund von Zahlen, die Präsident Trump nicht gefielen. Wir sprechen in diesem Zusammenhang auch über historische Parallelen. Anschließend diskutieren wir über die Entscheidung eines Zoos in Dänemark, Haustierbesitzer zu bitten, ihre Haustiere zur Fütterung von Löwen zu spenden. In unserem Wissenschaftsteil sprechen wir heute über eine Studie, die die genetische Verwandtschaft zwischen Kartoffeln und Tomaten erklärt, obwohl diese beiden Pflanzen deutliche äußerliche Unterschiede aufweisen. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil des Programms mit einer Diskussion über die Auktion von Modeartikeln. Gegenstände, die einst berühmten Persönlichkeiten gehörten, werden zu sehr hohen Preisen verkauft. Der Rest der heutigen Folge ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Im ersten Dialog geht es um Beispiele für das Grammatikthema dieser Woche The Imperative Mood (Imperativ). Die deutsche Sprache befindet sich ständig im Wandel. Dabei setzen sich auch Wörter und Formulierungen aus anderen Sprachen im Sprachgebrauch fest. Wir sprechen darüber, wie insbesondere Anglizismen die deutsche Sprache prägen und dass dies nicht allen gefällt. War Ludwig Erhard wirklich der Vater des deutschen Wirtschaftswunders, wie es die Deutschen bis heute behaupten? Die Wahrheit könnte komplizierter sein. Erhard glaubte an freie Märkte mit einem sozialen Sicherheitsnetz und begründete die sogenannte soziale Marktwirtschaft in Deutschland. Dies ist der perfekte Hintergrund für die Redewendung dieser Woche: Sich am Riemen reißen. Donald Trump entlässt die Chefstatistikerin der Regierung, weil ihm ihre Zahlen nicht gefallen Ein Zoo in Dänemark bittet Tierhalter, ihre Haustiere zur Fütterung von Löwen zu spenden Genetische Studie verknüpft den Ursprung der Kartoffel mit der Tomate Ist eine 8 Millionen Euro teure Promi-Handtasche ein Stück Kulturgeschichte? Amerikanisierung der deutschen Sprache Ludwig Erhard: Erfinder der sozialen Marktwirtschaft

Are zoos an anachronism in the 21st century when we can watch animals in their natural habitat, close-up from our couches without worrying about cruelty? Should they go the way of other bygone era ‘spectacles' and ‘attractions' that we now regard as barbaric? There are vocal campaigners and activists who believe so. Heather Browning and Walter Veit disagree, but they acknowledge there is a case to be answered. In What Are Zoos For? (Bristol University Press, 2024) they test the common justifications for zoos (entertainment, education, research, conservation) against the evidence and suggest what the best zoos of the future should look like to ensure that they are primarily for animals and not just for people. Heather Browning is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Southampton. Her primary research interests are animal welfare, ethics, and consciousness. Previously, she worked for many years as a zookeeper and zoo animal welfare officer, interested in the practical application of animal welfare measurement. Walter Veit is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Reading and an external member of the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. He's also the author of A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness (Routledge, 2023). Most of his ongoing research is on the consciousness and welfare of animals and AIs. Kyle Johannsen is Sessional Faculty Member in the Department of Philosophy at Trent University. His most recent authored book is Wild Animal Ethics: The Moral and Political Problem of Wild Animal Suffering (Routledge, 2021). Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's Czechia in 30 Minutes show: World Esperanto Congress for 2025 meets in Brno; fireflies named insect of the year 2025, as their glow disappears from Czech summer nights; and, for our feature, we will explore another one of Czechia's ZOOs, in our summer series "Stories from Czech ZOOs" - this week from Olomouc. Enjoy! 

Our institutions strive to provide education, conservation, and scientific discovery to the communities we serve. There are several ways in which aquariums and zoos contribute to the scientific knowledge of animals and their behavior, though they may not be the straightforward ways you might imagine. www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

What's the secret to crafting a killer mix? Grammy-winning mix engineer Collin Dupuis joins us to share his insights on mixing techniques, room acoustics, and creative chaos. Known for working with The Black Keys, Lana Del Rey, Angel Olsen, he discusses the evolution of music gear, collaboration, experimentation, clarity in mixing, effective file management, and tools like Soundflow and Samply that streamline workflow. Collin talks about vintage recording equipment, the revival of classic multitrack tapes, and automation in modern mixing. He shares experiences with in-person learning, challenges working with musicians of varying skill levels, techniques for enhancing drum sounds, the importance of headphone mixes for drummers, microphone choices and design, and the historical impact of Stevens tape machines. From live-to-two-track recording to innovative mixing, Collin offers valuable insights into pushing creative boundaries.

He also plays drums in his band Zoos of Berlin. In 2024, Collin came to my studio to teach a mixing masterclass that was a ton of fun. We had a full studio of dedicated producers and engineers from near and far. We learned a ton about Collin's sophisticated mixing method, including a better understanding of how a mix template can work in your home studio and a deep dive into RX and how it can improve your mixes. Collin has been a guest on the podcast in episodes RSR252, RSR341 and RSR404.

After years working for Merlin Entertainments building and renovating major aquariums, architect Benedikt Schikora founded  BSK Projects which handles project management in the hospitality, entertainment and tourism space. He's also a partner in the zoo and aquarium consulting firm, IZACS. We discuss the trends in zoological design, particularly those back of house aspects of animal care that have historically lagged behind today's modern, more enriching public display exhibits. One of the biggest challenges according to Benedikt is working across the many stakeholder groups from owners, curators, caregivers, and guests, while ensuring the well-being and safety of the animals.

John Kinder is the director of American studies and a professor of history at Oklahoma State University. And he is an author. His most recent book is called World War Zoos: Humans and Other Animals in the Deadliest Conflict of the Modern Age. John's book tells a story most of us have never heard: what happened to the world's zoos—and the animals inside them—during World War II. It's a sweeping, deeply researched look at how zoos became sites of propaganda, patriotism, and survival, often at the expense of the animals themselves. But World War Zoos isn't just about the past. It's also a mirror, showing how many of the ethical blind spots that existed during wartime remain with us today. In an age of climate crisis and mass extinction, this conversation asks: what do zoos really stand for—and who are they really serving?      

How do you feel about zoos? Some think they are important for education and scientific research; others think they are cruel. Neil and Georgie discuss this and teach you some new vocabulary.Find a full transcript, worksheet and interactive quiz for this episode at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english_2025/250508 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER: ✔️ https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/newsletters FIND BBC LEARNING ENGLISH HERE: Visit our website ✔️ https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish Follow us ✔️ https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/followus LIKE PODCASTS?

My guest is Dr. Karolina Westlund, Ph.D., a professor of ethology at the University of Stockholm and an expert in animal emotions and behavior who uses science-based methods to improve the lives of animals in human care. We discuss the often overlooked needs of domesticated animals—primarily dogs and cats—and the things we can do to improve their well-being and our relationship with them. We cover how to interpret animal body language, the unique needs of specific dog breeds, and the needs of cats and birds. We also discuss the pros and cons of spaying and neutering and how weaning age impacts a pet's attachment style. Whether you're a pet owner, trainer, or simply an animal lover, this episode teaches you how specific pet behaviors are rooted in their immutable biology—and the simple things you can do to vastly improve your pets' health and well-being, as well as your relationship with them.
