First, an ask: please excuse the audio quality, and focus on the content :) Devon Bowker here, I wasn't originally going to post this. This was a recorded conversation that we had when talking about the reasons behind our upcoming series 'Us', an ongoing series examining our connections and impact on the environment, sustainability, and our changing climate. Is it structured? Meh. Is the quality great? No. But this is a raw conversation from the heart exploring apathy, helplessness, and existential dread in the context of climate change, and most importantly, how we can flip the narrative to one of hope, community, and courage. We appreciate you listening, would appreciate feedback, and appreciate you sticking around to see what the future holds for us and this series. Thank you. -Devon Bowker (Twitter: @devthenatureguy) Support us, our work, and our ability to put these conversations out there by becoming a patron for as little as $1 per month at www.patreon.com/thewildlife Support this podcast

Dispatches from Somewhere #5| the American Alligator

1 Recommendations

This is one of my favorite shots I’ve ever managed to capture. I snapped this in 2015 at one of my all-time favorite parks, @brazosbendstatepark near Houston, TX. It sorta looks like she’s lunging forward, but in reality, she was sitting in a quickly flowing stream with her mouth open against the flow, presumably to catch fish or other critters that flowed by.

It’s estimated about 250 alligators over 6 feet long live within the over 1000 acres of water at Brazos Bend, and have been for the last 65 million years. They have practically continuously been there since the days of the dinosaurs. That’s pretty awesome if you ask me.

Want a bunch of random alligator factoids? Give this short a listen!
