"SQUIRRELS: CUTE, FLUFFY...and...WAIT...CARNIVORES?!" with Dr. Sonja Wild
Cute. Fluffy. Nut-obsessed. That's the squirrel story we all know... right?
Not so fast.
This week, we sit down with Dr. Sonja Wild, a behavioral ecologist and postdoctoral researcher at UC Davis, whose work explores how animals adapt and thrive in a changing world. Her recent research helped uncover something that stunned even seasoned scientists: California ground squirrels hunting and eating voles.
In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Wild shares how her team documented this never-before-described behavior, what it reveals about squirrel intelligence and adaptability, and why there's still so much to learn about some of the animals we think we know best.
After this episode, you'll never look at the squirrels in your backyard the same way again.
