Meeting The 'Mooing Rhino;' Understanding The New Feline Science




The Animal House | WAMU 88.5 show

Summary: The Rhinoceros Auklet is an Alaskan sea bird with an unusual routine and a distinctive "mooing" song. Alexis Will, a graduate student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, studies the foraging behavior of the rhino, and she sent us an audio postcard that chronicles her work. Most people have no idea what an anthrozoologist does, but many have read the work of John Bradshaw, one of the leading figures in that field of study. Dr. Bradshaw shares insights from his latest best seller, "Cat Sense." The book is a fresh and thoughtful exploration of human-cat relations, steeped in historical perspective and modern scientific research. Music: “Blackbird” by The Beatles
