Episode 48: Key Mice, Key to a Healthy Ecosystem

We are fortunate to be joined by the Director of Research Emily from the Prusten Project. Their mission is from analyzing the social vocal communications of tigers, The Prusten Project seeks to define what makes an individual tiger's call unique in hopes of developing non-invasive acoustic monitoring. Such a project would be implemented through microphone arrays placed strategically over the tiger’s home ranges to be used as a tool for conservation censusing and anti-poaching efforts.

This week we collaborate with Corbin Maxey from Animals to the Max podcast to discuss the Netflix documentary Tiger King. This documentary highlights the issues with private ownership of big cats, like Tigers, in the United States. It is believed there are more tigers in private ownership within the United States than there are in the wild. We spend quite a while discussing not only the documentary, but focus own on big cat ownership and exploitation. Please considering supporting us at Patreon HERE.
