Sloth Secrets

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. Thus, we want to remind everyone of the Red Panda's plight, but also as important, is that there are many out there like Sonam who are fighting to protect these animals!

Swans are such an iconic bird. They inhabit many waterways around the world and are beloved by many. This week we talk about swans, and especially focus on the Trumpeter Swan. Hunted to near extinction in the 1800s, these swans were reduced to less than 70 birds in the lower 48 of the United States. Fortunately, small remnant populations survived in Alaska and parts of Canada to allow their survival. Through focused conservation these birds have rebounded with around 63,000 birds. These elegant and massive birds are so fun to learn about and we know you will fall in love with them if you are not already. Also, this week is also a special episode for us. Chris is getting married to his sweetheart Pippa and is dedicating this episode to her. Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.

Native to South America, the Guanaco is a close relative to the domestic Llama. One of the questions we answer this week is, are Llamas just domesticated Guanacos? Tune in to fine out. These wild camelids live at the extremes in some of the most remote regions of our planet. They can be found high in the Andes Mountains of Chile and Argentina, and all the way down to the subtropical forests of Peru. These hardy mammals are one of the most unique herbivores on Earth. They are such a fun species to learn more about. Thankfully, they are classified as Least Concern, but their populations are down to about 10% of their known historical highs. They are inching towards endangered status and need our help and understanding. Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.

One of the world's most endangered birds the Spix's Macaw, or also known as the Little Blue Macaw, is starting to make a comeback. The plight of the Spix's Macaw was highlighted in the popular children's film, Rio. These birds once extinct in the wild, have just been released back into the wild. In this week's podcast we highlight the plight of the Spix's Macaw, what caused their decline, and who is responsible for bringing them back. Native to Brazil, the Spix's Macaw was extinct in the wild for over two decades. Yet, private collectors around the world were able to keep the species alive. Coming together, these collectors and other organizations have collaborated to save them. A very heartwarming story! Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.

One of our distant cousins, the Slow Loris, is actually one of the extremely rare venomous mammals on the planet. Sadly, each of the species of Slow Loris are heading towards extinction. We have so much more to learn about these ancient animals. Native to Asia, many Slow Loris are captured for the illegal pet trade. They are actually quite slow, which we highlight this week, and are quite easy to catch. Thus, due to their "cuteness" they are sold all over the world. Their story saddened us so much that it gives us, and we hope you, the drive to do more to save them and all the species in peril. Join us this week as we explore one of the world's most unique animals. Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
