In this episode, I sit down with special guest Valerie Hershey. She's a former zookeeper turned science teacher who has traveled the world in search of rare and exotic animals. We begin exploring what sparked her interest in animals and how that led her to become a zookeeper. We then dive into her world travels to Kenya, The Seychelles Islands, and India in search of the elusive tiger.

In this episode, I talk about the unexpected injured Great Horned Owl found in my chicken coop and the dilemmas of rescuing animals.

In this debut episode, I discuss my early childhood and how that sparked my interest in animals. I then answer the question I get commonly asked: "How did you get your start working with animals on TV?"
