Today, the Safari heads back to Brandywine Zoo, the only AZA accredited zoo in Delaware! We sit down with assistant curator Amy Haddock to talk about red pandas, condors, red pandas, lemurs, red pandas, tortoises, and red pandas. Ok, I admit it, this is an episode where I just really wanted to focus on red pandas! Shocker! But it's a great episode where we actually get to listen in on a red panda training session and have some fun learning about both Amy and the animals she cares for!

The Safari launches 2023 with a really different episode! Today, I'm bringing you my interview with Noah Strycker, a professional birder who has some incredible stories to share. He's the author of National Geographic's Birding Basics book, and by the end of this episode, you're going to be inspired to start birding! We talk about the year he spent traveling the world to see as many birds as possible, how birding ties into conservation, what it means to be a birder, how to start birding, and so much more!

Today, the Safari heads back to my home zoo, Elmwood Park Zoo, to sit down with Event Manager Becky Bell. Becky is not only the Event Manager at the zoo, but is also the person who planned my recent wedding with my now-wife and I. And let's just say that Zoë and I were either not very easy, or way too easy, depending on how you look at it. This episode is a LOT of fun...we talk about what it's like to plan events at a zoo, how the various departments coordinate, and we have a bunch of animal stories in here...but it's also a really fun look at what it was like working with Zoë and I on this event, and how our focus may have been slightly different than that of most people Becky works with!
