We’re back, Wildlife Flock, and this month, we’re taking a journey back through time—no time machine required! Imagine a creature with ancient armor and adaptations so unique it’s managed to survive since the days of the dinosaurs. These “modern-day dinosaurs” are still flapping their fins and making waves millions of years later. With a story as old as time and a world of mysteries hidden beneath the surface, we’re diving deep to meet one of the ocean’s oldest survivors. So join us as we dive down to the ocean floor to take a swim with sturgeons 🐟

Grab your scuba suit, because we're heading deep into the ocean for this month's episode! 🌊

This month, we're diving into the mysteries of an animal once thought to be the stuff of legends, capable of sinking entire ships. While those tales might be more fiction than fact, the truth is just as fascinating. We're talking about an actual, real-life giant that roams the ocean's depths. Despite their enormous size, we know surprisingly little about these elusive beings, which makes them all the more intriguing. So, hop into our imaginary submarine as we dive into the depths of the ocean to discover the elusive giant squid 🦑

Did you know raccoons are actually pretty good climbers? They like to live in sparsely wooded areas because of this skill, and will climb trees when they feel threatened. However, they tend to avoid areas with lots of beech trees, because they’re too smooth for them to climb! 🌳

This month, Alex got to sit down with Colby Loucks from the 🐼 Colby Loucks joined WWF as an intern in 1996 and is now the Vice President and Deputy Lead for the Wildlife Program, and Director of WWF’s Wildlife Technology Innovation Lab, which focuses on identifying, piloting and scaling innovative technology solutions to conserve biodiversity & stop poaching.

Early in his WWF career, Colby led ecoregion conservation assessments for North America and the Indo-Pacific region and landscape and ecoregion planning analyses in the eastern Himalayas, Indochina, Mexico and China. Building on his expertise in GIS, conservation biology and landscape ecology – he identified critical unprotected giant panda habitat in China's Shaanxi Province. This work became the foundation for the Chinese government’s decision to more than double the region's protected areas to conserve giant pandas and biodiversity.

Colby has led or contributed to conservation efforts such as the Global 200, global impacts of protected areas on biodiversity and humans, impacts of war and peace to species loss in Cambodia, prioritizing tiger conservation areas, predicting the impact of sea level rise on tiger populations in Bangladesh’s Sundarbans, identification of critical migration corridors for pronghorn antelope in the USA’s Northern Great Plains, and the impact of forest certification on forest loss in Cameroon and Indonesia.
