He said, where can I buy one of those?… Read More
He said, where can I buy one of those?… Read More
And the father called me up afterwards and he said, I noticed that you had that, that vest that had the vials in it. Read More
And we, that one started out like, you’ve all heard em, right?… Read More
Can you hear him now? Yeah. Have you ever seen him? No. Said, well, tonight we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna find him. And then I talked about spring peepers and amphibian reproduction and all that sort of stuff. And egg met, you know, frog versus toad egg masses… Read More
And at the time I got, I had a friend who became an entomologist and became an Australian citizen, became famous in Australia studying ortho opera. So katydids, crickets and that sort of thing. So I had made a collection of katydids and crickets as a recreational activity towards the… Read More
I had dead specimens pinned, and then I had live animals. And then we took ’em out with flashlights and we found the calling ones because, and I’m sure it’s the same here in the summertime when you go out in the woods, it’s just a racket of katydids calling. Read More
So we had the summer camp and it generated a lot of funds. And so we got funds back from FONZ. Now this is a little amusing story, but Mike was a big spender of the budget. In fact, he went over budget once and got in trouble for it. Read More
So we, two things came about. One was a summer camp. They wanted to do a summer camp. So we had all these dormitories. And so we did, I don’t know how long it lasted, if it was like six weeks, they had several different classes that would come, come… Read More
Can we develop a program out there and see what we can do?… Read More
Will they all be front royals or what will they be?… Read More
No, I don’t think, I don’t think front royals have maybe as good a chance of surviving as, as your urban zoo. And they’re not gonna propagate so that you have lots of ’em. I don’t think so because they were, they weren’t, it wasn’t a public institution. It was… Read More
Charismatic vertebrates for the most part. You’ve been in zooss a while. Read More
What do you think zoos will look like 20, 25 years from today?… Read More
What do you, what’s your thought process?… Read More
But how the hell do you exi exhibit something like that?… Read More
So PE people can appreciate it. It’s not worth doing because it’s never gonna work as well as seeing a lion with cubs or something like that. Right? But if you’re a biologist and you want to go out in the field and study how, how they live and where… Read More
No, it overlaps. I Mean, they’re, I mean, charismatic are, you know, the megavertebrates, I mean, they’re all charismatic in their own ways. Even bactine camels, which are kind of silly, are really interesting. But they’re not identical though. You know, you can have a charismatic, the star nose mole… Read More
So even a bullfrog could be made into a wonderful exhibit if you had the money to do it and you thought about it real hard, Could you define what a bread, and could you talk about some other examples of what you said bread and butter was, is that… Read More
But nobody’s done Bill Conway’s dream yet. ’cause that’s what that famous paper was like, was about, which, the basic premise of which was that any species, if you know enough about its biology, is fascinating and can teach us a lot. That was Bill’s message in that paper, as… Read More
What’s your opinion? Are there species or that you expect to either disappear based on your experience in zoos or maybe to emerge?… Read More
