Episode 185: Binga, Banga, BONGO

We are back with Angie's favorite, hoof and horns. The Bongo is one of the world's largest antelope species. It is also quite elusive, living in the dense forests of Africa. Sadly, one subspecies of Bongo from Kenya is critically endangered. Whereas the other subspecies is near threatened with extinction. These large charismatic herbivores are worth your time to learn about. For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast on Patreon and give back to conservation.
