This week we explore the Urban Caracal Project with Dr. Laurel Serieys and fawn over the most charismatic urban mesofauna we’ve seen to date (get a load of those ear tufts!). Caracals might have been enough to discuss on a podcast, but we were hogs about it and, with Dr. Seán Cahill of Barcelona’s Parc de Collserola, decided to root around the problems that arise when boars go urban, which they are doing all over Europe and Asia.
Robin Irizarry of the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Association and wildlife biologist Mike McGraw join us for the conversation.
And on #urbanwildlifebling we get a call from Robin, Tony, and a birding crew out on a whippoorwill expedition to Philadelphia’s Awbury Arboretum.
