Listen "304: Dr. Keriann McGoogan's Top 3 Primatology Stories!"
Episode Synopsis
Join Ellen & special guest, primatologist and author Dr. Keriann McGoogan, for primatology storytime! Our guest shares experiences from her time working with lemurs in Madagascar and howler monkeys in Belize, like kind gestures from people helping out their local monkeys after a hurricane. She also brings us some truly juicy tales from the study of primates, like a true crime thriller involving missing monkeys, a power struggle, and even a double life, an airplane full of macaques, setting the record straight on baboon social heirarchies, and the instrumental role of women in shaping primatology and our understanding of nature.Links:Learn more about Dr. Keriann McGoogan's work on her websiteGet your copy of Sisters of the Jungle: The Trailblazing Women Who Shaped the Study of Wild PrimatesFollow Keriann on Instagram!For more information about us & our podcast, head over to our website!Follow Just the Zoo of Us on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram & Discord!Follow Ellen on BlueSky!Sound Credit:Black howler monkey: Alex Munro, via biacoustica: https://bio.acousti.ca/content/black-howler-monkey-shortSiamang: Frank Lambert, XC1031364.
