Ep. 27: How to Avoid African Elephant Conflicts (feat. Lynn Von Hagen)

In April of 2012, Anthony Hensley began his day of work for Knox Swan and Dog, a company that uses dogs and Swans to deter Canada Geese. No one could've anticipated that on this day, he'd be drowned by a Mute Swan.Typically when people get too close to Swans, they will hiss, flap their wings and rush at you. But swimming near or paddling near Swans and their cygnets can lead to a Swan charging, biting, and hitting you.If you'd like to learn more ways to deter Canada Geese besides using Swans, you can visit maine.gov or email us at getoutalivepodcast@gmail.com to learn more.OUR MERCH STORE IS LIVE!

Ep. 24: Bison

For this episode, we're going way back - 2 million years back.The discovery of the Taung Child skull was huge for two reasons; That modern-day humans originated in Africa, and early human ancestors used to be preyed upon by large birds.Which bird is best?

And for our Patrons, stayed tuned for a bonus episode where we chat with a Golden Eagle falconer to talk about the dangers associated with handling such large and powerful birds.To listen to the RadioLab podcast episode about the Taung child, check out this link.OUR MERCH STORE IS LIVE!

Ep. 22: The Most Misunderstood Fish (feat. Jaida Elcock)

Join wildlife biologist and host Ashley Bray and her best friend/co-host Nick every other week as they explore the causes of different animal attack stories throughout the ages.In her career, Ashley has noticed the growing need for honest conversations around human-wildlife conflict, and decided to make this podcast with her best friend to get at the truth of how dangerous the animals we live alongside really are, and what we can do to not only protect ourselves from these animals, but save the animals from being hurt by us too. They are occasionally joined by expert biologists and attack survivors to get more insight into why an attack happened, how it could have been avoided (if possible), and the problems certain species are facing that could drive conflicts.

On Christmas Day in 2007,  Carlos Sousa Jr. and his friends Paul and Kulbir Dhaliwhal decided to spend their afternoon at the San Francisco Zoo. One of the last exhibits they wanted to see before the zoo closed that night was the zoo's 4-year old and 243 pound (110kg)  Siberian Tiger, Tatiana. The boys just didn't realize exactly how close they were going to get.This case was extremely rare, especially in an AZA-accredited institution.

Ep. 21: The Boy Who Cried "Tiger"

On June 14th, 2016, the Graves' lives were turned upside-down when their 2-year old son, Lane, was killed by an alligator outside of Disney's Grand Floridian Resort.We also sit down with alligator expert, Frank "Alligator" Robb, who has been working for over 26 years in Florida responding to nuisance wildlife calls. We ask him how to live safely and peacefully alongside alligators, and how to fight a gator off if you're unlucky enough to find yourself in their jaws. We also had no idea how famous he was until towards the end of our interview with him, so if you haven't heard of him already, you'll learn at the same time we did why he's so famous in a state that doesn't have alligators naturally in the wild.You can learn more about Frank and his non-profit at EEARSS.org and listen to his new podcast, the EEARSS Podcast here.

Ep. 20: The Disney World Alligator Attack (feat. Frank "Alligator" Robb)

Jim Crosby

Tune in for the final portion of our interview with the world's foremost expert on fatal dog attacks, Jim Crosby.  In this portion, we ask more hard-hitting questions: Are certain breeds the cause of more attacks than others? Can dogs that have been bred to fight in illegal dog fighting be re-integrated back into society? How can you stop an approaching aggressive dog?If you or someone you know has been struggling after a dog attack, check out the American Psychological Association's website for tips on helping someone who's struggling, or you can find a licensed therapist through Psychology Today.If you have an aggressive dog, you may want to seek help from a veterinary behaviorist. There is another podcast called The Bitey End of the Dog by Michael Shikashio (CDBC) that explores the topic of dog aggression further, and Michael's website AgressiveDog.com has great professional resources related to dog aggression and behavior.For tips on how to stop an approaching aggressive dog, you can check out the video at Patricia Mcconnell's website, or read more tips at Whole-Dog-Journal.com You can find Jim on Twitter @TheDogGuyJim and contact him at canineaggression@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram,  Facebook, and check out our website GetOutAlivePodcast.com and join us on Patreon!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/getoutalivepodcast)

Ep. 19.5: Man's Best Friend - Part 2 (feat. Jim Crosby)

We had the pleasure of speaking with retired police officer and the world's leading fatal dog attack expert, Jim Crosby.  He has a Master's degree in Veterinary Forensics from the University of Florida, and is currently working on a PhD studying fatal dog attacks. He also wrote the newest U.S. Dept. of Justice curriculum on police-dog encounters so officers can respond to calls with aggressive dogs and not have to take physical action. How common are human deaths from dogs? What happens to a dog that's bitten or killed someone?  How can you spot signs of aggression in your dog or another dog? Find out the answers to those questions and more in Part 1 of our interview with Jim!You can find Part 2 of our interview with Jim on our Patreon right now at the $5 or $15 level, otherwise you can find it on our regular feed next week! Next week we answer - are certain breeds more responsible for attacks? We decided not to cover our own story at the beginning like we usually do because we felt that most people who own dogs or know people who own dogs have heard of dog attack stories or have unfortunately been a victim in a dog attack. If you or someone you know has been struggling after a dog attack, check out the American Psychological Association's website for tips on helping someone who's struggling, or you can find a licensed therapist through Psychology Today.

Ep. 19: Man's Best Friend - Part 1 (feat. Jim Crosby)

In the later half of 2021, a series of attacks were reported in Anchorage, Alaska, carried out by river otters. Also in late 2021, a man in Singapore visiting the Botanic Gardens says he believes a group of smooth-coated otters would've killed him had his friend not intervened. Ashley and Nick break down the possible causes of these attacks, while making some (not so great in Nick's opinion) puns along the way. They also chat about some other totally tubular Mustelids, and the plot of the Zootopia movie. It's a wild start to 2022, folks.To learn more about how to live safely alongside otters, you can read the article Please Don't Poke the Sea Otters by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.Follow us on Instagram,  Facebook, and check out our website GetOutAlivePodcast.com and join us on Patreon!You can find Ashley @TheAngryOlogist on Twitter and Nick still refuses to engage. Thanks for listening!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/getoutalivepodcast)Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/getoutalivepodcast)

Ep. 15: The Tsavo Man-Eaters

On February 16th, 2009, an entirely avoidable event occurred: Charla Nash had her face ripped off by her friend Sandra Herold's pet chimp, Travis.Travis was a 200 pound, 14 year-old Chimpanzee. His owners "adopted" him for $50,000 from a place called the Missouri Chimpanzee Sanctuary, and raised him as a mix between a pet and a child. He ate at the dinner table with them, drank wine, slept in their beds, and DROVE. CARS. You can imagine Ashley and Nick have some strong opinions in this one.And yes, we also touch on Harambe.This is our most graphic episode yet - if you are of the faint of heart, this may not be the episode for you.Somehow we didn't mention Jane Goodall (despite her being Ashley's idol), but you can learn more about her amazing chimpanzee work at JaneGoodall.orgFollow us on Instagram,  Facebook, and check out our website GetOutAlivePodcast.com and join us on Patreon!You can find Ashley at TheAngryOlogist on Twitter and Nick hates social media. Thanks for listening!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/getoutalivepodcast)

Ep. 13.5: Polar Bear Interview with Danielle Rivet

Join wildlife biologist and host Ashley Bray and her best friend/co-host Nick every other week as they explore the causes of different animal attack stories throughout the <a href="http://ages.In" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ages.In</a> her career, Ashley has noticed the growing need for honest conversations around human-wildlife conflict, and decided to make this podcast with her best friend to get at the truth of how dangerous the animals we live alongside really are, and what we can do to not only protect ourselves from these animals, but save the animals from being hurt by us too. They are occasionally joined by expert biologists and attack survivors to get more insight into why an attack happened, how it could have been avoided (if possible), and the problems certain species are facing that could drive conflicts.
