898: Forrest Galante | Seeking Unicorns and Resurrecting the Dodo

Wildlife biologist Forrest Galante rejoins us to discuss rediscovering "lost" species and why we should resurrect the dodo, thylacine, and woolly mammoth.

• What's Forrest been up to since his last visit to this show? Just milking venomous sea snakes and trying to find out why orcas are slaughtering great white sharks en masse.
• Where are the world's biggest snakes found, and do they ever eat people?
• What did Forrest find inside the world's largest cave — besides a variety of isolated ecosystems with their own weather systems?
• Why following leads for unknown or thought-to-be-extinct species isn't tinfoil hat territory — and the clever ways Forrest and his team track them.
• How likely is it that science will be used to resurrect extinct species like the woolly mammoth, dodo bird, and thylacine in the near future — and how does this ambitious goal fit into the conservation of existing ecosystems?
• And much more...
