Mysteries of Desert Wildlife with Dr Lisa Beers
Manage episode 374886318 series 2712589
The desert seems lifeless, yet it’s home to a whole lifecycle of bugs and animals from bunnies to foxes, from lions to horses to – most dangerous of all – COWS! Hear about the hidden lives of all that’s alive around Black Rock City.
Stuart talks with biologist Dr Lisa Beers aka Sciprus. When she’s not teaching in remote villages on the other side of the planet, she’s Burning Man Project’s land fellow studying the Fly Hot Springs territory.
In the face of mystery, she has the surprising answers, or at least more questions, and aren’t questions as good as answers? Aren’t they?
How do butterflies know to ride the jet stream from Canada to Mexico and back?
What do sea monkeys have to do with Fairy Shrimp Scampi?
How do feral Burners adapt from arid & dusty to moist & muddy?
