Our patrons voted: Walruses!
Walruses (Odobenus rosmarus) are large pinnipeds that can be up to 11 feet long and weigh nearly 2 tons, with tusks up to a meter long extending from their mouths. They typically live in the arctic, meaning their interactions with humans are limited...
But there are early accounts of walruses attacking humans, and even captive walruses are known to attack humans. We cover some attack stories, along with why and how walruses play with dead birds, and how some transient walruses have been causing trouble in the last few years.
Visit the US Fish and Wildlife Service's website to find out more ways you can stay safe around wild walruses while keeping them safe too.
If you observe someone harassing or injuring a walrus in the U.S., please contact their Office of Law Enforcement at (877) 535-1795 or (800) 858-7621

Get Out Alive - Ep. 60: The Owl Theory
play

08/23/23 • 61 min

To celebrate 60 episodes, we're talking about one of Ashley's favorite animals: Owls.
We start by discussing the most common conflict people could have with raptors, and take a deep dive on a very popular case in which an owl was accused of murder. You can see more about this case on the Netflix documentary "The Staircase" or the dramatized HBO miniseries "The Staircase".
Ashley also appeared on episode 108 of the Just the Zoo of Us podcast to talk about owl biology if you'd like to learn more there.

Get Out Alive - Ep. 78: Bear Lady Kay
play

05/15/24 • 50 min

Kay Grayson was by no means a conventional woman. After leading a wild life living on boats and training attack dogs, she settled in North Carolina where she fell in love with black bears. Kay took her love of bears farther than most, by feeding the bears and allowing them to live in her trailer with her. But when she's found dead one day, authorities are left to wonder if the bears she loved so much caused her demise.
For more information on how to live safely with bears, check out Bearwise.org.

Get Out Alive - Ep. 45: Killed by Coyotes
play

02/01/23 • 48 min

Taylor Josephine Stephanie Luciow (aka Taylor Mitchell) was an up and coming country folk singer in Canada, but since October of 2009, she has been famous for a much different and darker reason: She's the only human (on record) to have been killed by a coyote.
What happened in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park that led to this? A recent study titled "Severe environmental conditions create severe conflicts: A novel ecological pathway to extreme coyote attacks on humans" shed light on exactly why this death happened, and we go over it all.
We also go over a TWS article and other scientific paper called "Spatiotemporal relationships of coyotes and free-ranging domestic cats as indicators of conflict in Culver City, California" about why so many cats were being killed in an area where coyotes lived (spoiler: it's not the coyotes fault).
If you'd like to visit the Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Canada and want to know how to stay safe around their wildlife, you can visit their website here. If you visit the park and have a negative encounter with a coyote, call and report the incident to 1-877-852-3100.

I had the pleasure of speaking with wildlife researcher and human-wildlife conflict specialist, Mathen "Rajeev" Mathew, about the animals he studies that cause some of the most dramatic conflicts in India: Tigers, leopards and elephants. I was stunned by how many attacks occur by each of these animals a year, and we dive into why these attacks and deaths happen. Just be warned, it does get graphic.
If you'd like to learn more about the illegal wildlife trade, check out the documentary I mentioned up top, Sea of Shadows.
