Here kitty kitty kitty. Did you know there are black bobcats in Florida?! And a lot more wild cats in the USA than you might think!
Join me chatting with Carnivore Ecologist Aidan Branney about his new paper on melanistic bobcats, as well as how we can work to start getting big cats back on the landscape, in a way that actually works for all the stakeholders involved.

About the Show:
For new listeners, this podcast is “Serious about research, and less serious about delivery” because our mission has always been approachability and a real-world approach to issues...
Please note I do not do a lot of editing and what some might consider “offensive language” comes up from time to time in episodes, so we hope you can sit back, learn something, and have a laugh with us!
The Anthropo Scene is an independent project started by young ecologists who are passionate about sharing interesting information surrounding the complicated story of introduced and invasive species around the world. It has now opened up to include more topics about Ecology and the interesting, and sometimes complicated ways that humans interact with nature.
This podcast continues in the loving memory of Nicholas McCarney.
Original music and audio edition for Season 3 by the talented Garret Baker from Quiet Sun Productions
