Howdy listeners! We’re all aware of how humans affect the environment-with habitat loss and climate change being hot topics currently, it seems like everybody’s acutely aware of how humanity has affected large-scale ecosystems. That’s why on this episode of The Birdy Bunch Podcast Matt, Jon, and CJ decide to shrink down the scope a little bit and talk about different instances where humans have affected individual species and populations because trust us: those are just as important, and certainly provide some crazy stories and history. In addition to this discussion, Matt features the Africanized honeybee, CJ talks about a new discovery in brown tree snake locomotion, and the Bunch as a whole tries to break down a disturbing story involving a manatee in Florida. This is definitely one episode you don’t want to miss!
