From a pair of heroic humpback whales, to a brave kitten in a war zone, this podcast tells a variety of true stories that remind us why we’re lucky to have animals in our lives.Hosted by Renee Colvert and Alexis Preston.
Drama, jealousy, and evolutionary biology come together in this story about a love triangle.
Vanessa Woods was on a work trip to study bonobos when she landed a supporting role in a great ape soap opera. And although emotions ran high, bonobos taught Vanessa important lessons about life, love, and what it means to be a primate.

The bonobo in the episode thumbnail is not a pet. It is one of the many orphans at a sanctuary in Congo whose mothers were shot for the bushmeat trade. The orphans were rescued from the illegal market, some of them from wildlife traffickers, others from people’s homes, and others on route for the illegal pet trade in Europe. Bonobos are primates and need to live in large social groups, not in isolation. Please help stop trafficking in bonobos. Visit www.bonobos.org.
