Ep. 60: The Owl Theory

Explicit content warning

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.
