Today, the Safari bids farewell to one of the oldest red pandas in the country, Yukiko, who lived at Woodland Park Zoo.  Yukiko is one of those pandas who had a legitimate impact on multiple lives without ever realizing it...and today, you'll get to hear some of those stories.  From my personal experience with Yukiko, to the thoughts of one of the keepers who took care of him for many years, to a surprise interview that shares another perspective entirely, this mini bonus episode will hopefully show you the legacy you can leave behind without even realizing you're doing it.

Today, the Safari starts our trek through some awesome facilities in the New England region that I recorded while playing at Northern Stage in Vermont!  We start with Betsey Brewer-Bethel of Southwick's Zoo, a ZAA-accredited zoo in Mendon, MA.  Listeners of the pod will recognize the name from my interviews with Dani Poirier-Larson and Emily Begué, but Betsey brings an entirely new look at the zoo!  We talk about growing up at a zoo, and also raising children while running a zoo!  We also talk about the importance of conservation education and how that is an ever-changing and growing field.  And animal stories? There are SO MANY great stories here, including a record SEVEN poop stories!

Today, the Safari finishes its time in Florida by visiting with the Director and founder of the South East Zoo Alliance for Reproduction and Conservation (SEZARC), Dr. Linda Penfold! We talk about the amazing and unique work this organization is doing to further the scientific understanding of animals in captivity, and how that work impacts wild animals as well!   We talk about a bunch of studies done, and learn amazing information about animals such as cheetahs, giant river otters, rhinos, black tip reef sharks, and sand tiger sharks! Linda also has an amazing accent, which always helps make an episode even better! This is one of those great looks at an organization you may have never heard of, but is having a reaching impact on many of the zoo animals you love (and their wild counterparts) throughout the country!
