Description

Happy Spooky Season!This week we finally talk bats, especially vampire bats. Why would a vampire bat want to bite you? How do they find their prey items? Who's the girl that survived symptomatic rabies? We're also joined by long time listener and renowned bat lover, Sophiane (@HonkIfURHoary) ! She helps us answer some big questions like, what should you do if there's a bat in your home? Where's the best spot for a bat box? What is White Nose Syndrome, and how can we help bats in our area? And, most importantly: When can we expect Fat Bat Week?Sources mentioned in this episode:CDC on bat rabies: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2019/p0611-bats-rabies.htmlFor more info on White Nose Syndrome in your area, visit WhiteNoseSyndrome.orgBat house resources: https://www.merlintuttle.org/selecting-a-quality-bat-house/https://batbnb.com/Support the show by shopping at www.getoutalivepodcast.com/shopFollow us on Instagram,  Facebook, (finally) Tiktok, check out our website GetOutAlivePodcast.com and join us on Patreon!You can find Ashley @TheAngryOlogist on Twitter and Nick is a ghost.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.
