Episode 360: The Mighty Gaur

Out of Asia comes one of the world's largest species of crocodilian, the Gharial! With its unique slender rostrum (snout), the Gharial is an ancient reptile that is just barely hanging on. This critically endangered animal was reduced to just over 180 animals left in the wild! However, conservation agencies and zoos around the world are fighting hard to save the Gharial! Reintroduction efforts are continuing throughout India and Nepal to reestablish healthy Gharial populations. These are true survivors and are some amazing reptiles. For sure a not to miss podcast!

We just had so much fun this week covering the world's second largest bird, the Emu. Believe it or not, Australia actually went to war against Emus in 1932....and lost! That was great news for the Emus and today they are a protected species on the Australian continent. There is so much to love and learn about Emus and without doubt a fun species to talk about. Thankfully, Emus are doing well across Australia though they do face some conservation challenges. Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.

Keeping our focus on Australia this we detail one of Australia's most important and endangered carnivorous marsupials, the Quoll. There are actually 6 species of Quoll, 4 in Australia and 2 in New Guinea, and all are heading towards extinction. Thankfully, conservation efforts are underway to save this critical species. Quolls play a key role in Australia's ecosystems and are one of the best predators to fight against invasive species, like introduced rabbits. We detail everything about this cute and incredible animal from down under. Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.

Chris has just returned from Australia after this wedding and we will be back next week with a new episode. In this spirit, we are revisiting Koalas! We will also be having a special guest soon to discuss them in more detail, but these special mammals from down under are still under the threat of extinction. The Koala is just another species suffering in Australia with a dramatically changing climate and coupled with habitat destruction, some experts believe they can be extinct in just a few generations. Thus, we wanted to put the spotlight back on them and will continue to tell their and so many unique animals from Australia stories.

We are releasing Red Pandas again to highlight just how endangered these animals are. We also have an incredible interview to follow this with Sonam Lama, who is a true conservation hero out there fighting to save these charismatic animals. Sadly, Red Panda poaching only increased during the Covid-19 pandemic.
