White-tailed Deer: America’s Conservation Success Story

White-tailed Deer: America’s Conservation Success Story

Chris and Angie dive into the fascinating world of the white-tailed deer. Initially underestimated, this episode reveals how ubiquitous and crucial this species is across the Americas, marked as one of the best conservation success stories. Growing up in the US, Chris took the species for granted, but this episode sheds light on their immense ecological importance, versatility, and adaptability across various biomes. They discuss how white-tailed deer populations once faced near extinction in the 19th century and bounced back due to rigorous conservation efforts, now numbering over 30 million in North America alone. Unfortunately, overpopulation in certain areas poses new challenges, including disease spread and ecological impact. Angie passionately explains the intricacies of antler growth, shedding, and the physiological marvels of the species. The episode also touches on subspecies like the endangered Florida Key Deer. Listeners are encouraged to get involved with local conservation efforts, visit areas where deer are found, and contribute to ongoing wildlife protection programs.

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.
