Description

When is it time to scare them off, and when is it time to back off? Should you really fight black bears back, and play dead with a grizzly? What are the best practices while camping in bear country? Bear expert Daryl Ratajczak is on this week to answer all these questions for us and more. Daryl has years of experience in rehabbing black bears, working as a wildlife biologist for the state of Tennessee, and giving educational talks and programs about bears through his company Wildlife For You. You can follow Wildlife For You on Facebook here.

Join wildlife biologist and host Ashley Bray and her best friend/co-host Nick every other week as they explore the causes of different animal attack stories throughout the ages.In her career, Ashley has noticed the growing need for honest conversations around human-wildlife conflict, and decided to make this podcast with her best friend to get at the truth of how dangerous the animals we live alongside really are, and what we can do to not only protect ourselves from these animals, but save the animals from being hurt by us too. They are occasionally joined by expert biologists and attack survivors to get more insight into why an attack happened, how it could have been avoided (if possible), and the problems certain species are facing that could drive conflicts.
