Description

Taylor Josephine Stephanie Luciow (aka Taylor Mitchell) was an up and coming country folk singer in Canada, but since October of 2009, she has been famous for a much different and darker reason: She's the only human (on record) to have been killed by a coyote.What happened in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park that led to this? A recent study titled "Severe environmental conditions create severe conflicts: A novel ecological pathway to extreme coyote attacks on humans" shed light on exactly why this death happened, and we go over it all.We also go over a TWS article and other scientific paper called "Spatiotemporal relationships of coyotes and free-ranging domestic cats as indicators of conflict in Culver City, California" about why so many cats were being killed in an area where coyotes lived (spoiler: it's not the coyotes fault).If you'd like to visit the Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Canada and want to know how to stay safe around their wildlife, you can visit their website here. If you visit the park and have a negative encounter with a coyote, call and report the incident to 1-877-852-3100.Support the showSupport the show by shopping at www.getoutalivepodcast.com/shopFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, check out our website GetOutAlivePodcast.com and join us on Patreon!You can find Ashley @TheAngryOlogist on Twitter

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.
