Amazing Wildlife: A San Diego Zoo Podcast

133

Did you know that in the world of elephants the females are the ones in charge? Or that a grizzly bear's bite is strong enough to crush a bowling ball? Amazing Wildlife gives a behind-the-scenes look inside the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park to gain insight on rare species and to explore the ongoing conservation efforts to save endangered wildlife no matter how big or small. Join us as hosts Rick Schwartz and now Marco Wendt transport listeners around the globe to highlight the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s collaborative efforts with local communities to drive positive change for the future of animals and plants. Through one-of-a-kind stories, you’ll hear what it takes to create a healthy next chapter for not only wildlife, but also for the people that share their habitats.

    Good not great.
    Rick is great, and the first season was wonderful. Not a fan of the changes. Why Marco? He is horrible, I cringe ever time he speaks. What happened to the lady in the first season? I dislike his style, and his voice is annoying. Please move on from Marco.
  • RockSteady3124

    Marco and Rick are excellent hosts while they take us on adventures all around the San Diego Zoo & Safari Park. You’ll find a new appreciation towards all sorts of animals and will learn a ton!! Please keep up the great work!

    Best Podcast Ever!
    I have been BINGING this podcast, I absolutely love it and have recommended it to so many friends! Listen, is it sometimes geared to little kids? Absolutely! But that doesn’t make it bad! It just means they go through the (still surprising and interesting) facts a bit slower and simply. I’m 20 but still love listening to this podcast in the car. I always learn a ton!! So so happy that it is back for season two!
  • Amy---Erin
    Chock full of facts that make me look smart
    I love sharing what I learn in this podcast. Hyenas are more closely related to cats? What?!
  • Miacal Jackson
    I love san Diagonal zoo wild life

  • Kizzle1991dd3
    Wonderful and educational
    Love this show! Great information and relaxing and soothing to listen to. Nature is so amazing and we should try to better understand and respect it
  • Joe Q.
    Good info, bad puns
    I love this podcast because the information is very cool, but the terrible puns make me want to turn the podcast off.
  • Lizzythebug
    Koalas & Rhinos & Jaguars, oh my!
    What a fantastic podcast to learn about animals but it also focuses on the many dedicated people connected with them. In the past I thought zoos weren’t necessary but listening to all the behind the scenes work carried to make sure animals survive in a zoo gives me great hope.
  • BushSunflower
    Fun way to learn about animals
    I love the content, great variety of topics, and Ebonee is a fantastic presenter/interviewer. But please, no background music during the speaking parts of the program! It’s hard to concentrate on what is being said.
  • lindy luvs music
    Such interesting info!
    This is a great podcast for anyone that loves animals and wants to learn all of the interesting facts about them. It also highlights the great work that zoos are doing regarding conservation.

  • 78_gold_78
    Opossum-possum
    Love the pod. Just wanted to point out that the host when talking about Australian marsupials called possums, “opossums”. Only North American versions have the “o”.
  • Waterlilyjane
