Traveling with Tibetan Antelope

Traveling with Tibetan Antelope

This episode delves into the intriguing world of the Tibetan antelope, also known as the chiru, inspired by the Apple TV+'s EarthSounds series. Hosts Chris and Angie share their fascination for this unique animal, particularly its notable vocalizations which are highlighted in the series. Living in one of the most inhospitable environments on the planet, the Tibetan antelope's loud, bellowing calls are a vital communication tool for territory and mating. The episode touches on various aspects of the antelope's life, including its migration patterns, mating behaviors, and the conservation success stories that have helped their numbers to gradually increase despite challenges such as poaching for their highly prized wool. Additionally, the hosts explore other unique species inhabiting the Tibetan Plateau and emphasize the need for continued conservation efforts. The podcast concludes with a call to action for supporting wildlife preservation and a spotlight on the Nature Conservancy's efforts towards this cause.

Episode 82: Mammoths of the Sea, the Elephant Seal

Elephant Seals are the largest seal, or pinniped, on Earth. Once almost hunted to extinction, Elephant Seals populations have grown over the last century, but are still at risk due to the increased pollution and exploitation of the world’s oceans. They are called “Elephants” not due to their size, but rather due to their large noses which often resemble a trunk of a true elephant.      Show notes HERE   Learn more about your ad choices.
