Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

Today, the Safari brings you a bonus episode from former guest and awesome friend of the pod, Hillary Hankey. Hillary runs The Avian Behavior Lab and also does free flight work with birds in Escondido, CA, and was a guest on an episode of the podcast last season! Today, you get an episode of her podcast, The Avian Behavior Podcast, talking all about mentorships in the animal field. Mentorships are actually something I'm very passionate about, so I'm excited for y'all to hear from a world-renowned trainer about this wildly important subject!

Today, the Safari heads back to California to sit down with my good friend Justin Fairchild, the brains behind www.redpandafinder.com ! Red Panda Finder is a website devoted to tracking the genealogy, location, births, and deaths of the red panda population in the US, in Japan, and beyond, sharing a bunch of information about each animal along with a TON of amazing pics (more than a few of which come from Rossifari!). It's a really cool website that has really helped connect the "fanda" community! You'll also get to hear a first-hand account of a Red Panda Network ecotrip to Nepal, some fun discussions of how pandas have touched both our lives, and more!
