Description

In the later half of 2021, a series of attacks were reported in Anchorage, Alaska, carried out by river otters. Also in late 2021, a man in Singapore visiting the Botanic Gardens says he believes a group of smooth-coated otters would've killed him had his friend not intervened. Ashley and Nick break down the possible causes of these attacks, while making some (not so great in Nick's opinion) puns along the way. They also chat about some other totally tubular Mustelids, and the plot of the Zootopia movie. It's a wild start to 2022, folks.To learn more about how to live safely alongside otters, you can read the article Please Don't Poke the Sea Otters by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.Follow us on Instagram,  Facebook, and check out our website GetOutAlivePodcast.com and join us on Patreon!You can find Ashley @TheAngryOlogist on Twitter and Nick still refuses to engage. Thanks for listening!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/getoutalivepodcast)Disclaimer: This is not professional advice; Follow at your own risk.Support the show

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.
