California Condors

California Condors

This bird isn't cool just because its wingspan rivals the length of a grizzly bar on its hind paws. Nope, this bird battled its way back from the brink of extinction - just 22 in the wild to now close to 500 in the wild and in captivity. We talk about what makes this bird so awesome, and the rescue efforts behind it, in this episode. Be sure to also check out our episode right next to this in your feed where we interview Travis Koons of the Oregon Zoo.
THANK YOU to Oregon Wild for bringing us along to the zoo with them.

And thank you as always to Andrew of Ear Snacks for our theme music!

Also guys - be sure to check out the podcast Species if you have serious animal lovers. The show is super awesome.
