Lana asked that hers go to Northern Lights wildlife shelter in smithers BC as they are holding the orphaned grizzly bear cubs and Hamilton directed his towards friends of McNeil river dot org. Danielle's is going to Idaho black bear rehab and will donate to slonnie's choice as well. There are links to each of those in the show notes. And if you are so moved, toss a few bucks their way.
Because one bears is not enough bears, SIX more ursinologists join to answer your questions about polar bear fur, monogamy, that scene from "The Revenant" and more. Five chapters of bear life, from mindblowing mating strategies to how bears get from point A to B, media portrayals of these beautiful beasts and how to save them. Also: do bears want you to sing to them? Bear biologists and conservationists Dr. Thea Bechshoft, Dr. Lana Ciarniello, Drew Hamilton, Wes Larson, Tsalani Lassiter & Danielle Rivet field more of the 500 listener questions and it gets… wild.
