Скачать или смотреть WildAndLIVE: EP24 | Mongoose Madness with Josh Arbon

Welcome to #WildAndLIVE with Patrick Aryee. In this episode we’re talking about the dwarf mongoose, with Josh Arbon, aka @JackdawJosh!

Josh is a PhD researcher who’s interested in how small animals organise their social circles and how they learn & cooperate with one another to get the most out of their environment. Josh spent 6-months in South Africa with the Dwarf Mongoose Research Project, looking into something called, ‘sentinel behaviour’, two words which kinda sounds like they belong in the plot twist of the next X-Men movie!

He is also using ‘faecal sample microsatellite analysis’, aka 'collecting DNA from poop', to help him better understand how certain populations are related. Make sure you tune in it's gonna be sexy and poopy!
