Announcing Season 7 - Pangolin Pride!
I am so excited to announce that for Season 7 of Pangolin we are officially celebrating Pangolin Pride! 💚🏳️🌈
For the whole month of June, I will be releasing episodes which celebrate voices and stories from the LGBTQ+ community. I will be joined by wildlife vets, environmental educators, researchers, communications professionals and a whole host of other amazing guests to talk about their work, why they love nature, and how we can all be involved in protecting the natural world!
This is something I have wanted to do since the beginning of the podcast, and I am so happy and grateful to have finally had the opportunity. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the amazing support of so many brilliant people, and I am so appreciative of you all. I LOOOOOVE YOU GUYS!

One thing is for certain, both are home to incredible creatures! The Ménagerie features Amur Leopards, Orangutans, Cassowaries, Warty Pigs, Gorals and all kinds of reptiles. The Parc Zoologique has everything from Sifakas to Manatees.
