Description

On Christmas Day in 2007,  Carlos Sousa Jr. and his friends Paul and Kulbir Dhaliwhal decided to spend their afternoon at the San Francisco Zoo. One of the last exhibits they wanted to see before the zoo closed that night was the zoo's 4-year old and 243 pound (110kg)  Siberian Tiger, Tatiana. The boys just didn't realize exactly how close they were going to get.This case was extremely rare, especially in an AZA-accredited institution.

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.
