  • GREAT WHITE SHARK in Virginia!? –E.8

      ►Great White in Virginia?!! This week’s podcast is about great white sharks in the United States and overall shark attack statistics around the world. The non-profit ocearch can track sharks in order to study them and last week the organization detected that two great white sharks pinned off the coast of Virginia. I feel that this information it is sort of a warning for people who are out in the water to keep a look out and to study where exactly they go.

  • How Intelligent are Dolphins and Whales? E. 6

    Most people agree that dolphins are some of the smartest creatures in the ocean. Their efficiency in the water makes them the perfect predator. Whales and dolphins dominate much of the food chain in the water and in many ways we can relate to them because of the feelings and emotions they have among one another. Whales and dolphins have their own language that express emotions and communication towards one another. Continue listening to learn more about the complex brain and communication within whales and dolphins.

  • E. 5 - When Wild Animals Save Our Life

      On Nature’s Friend News we really like to talk about amazing people that help protect wildlife and do extraordinary things just in the name of being nature’s friend. This podcast is a little different, it is about nature being our friend. The story you’re about to hear is about instances where wild animals have been compelled to literally save a human’s life with little or no experience with humans. Prepare to be amazed and touched by these extortionary stories where wild animals – with no apparent reason – have rushed in and saved the day from imminent death.
