What can the animals living alongside us teach us about the future of our planet? Author and social epidemiologist Dan Werb joins Talia Schlanger to discuss his bestselling book Our Wild Familiars: How Animals Are Adapting to Cities and Reshaping the Natural World. From raccoons to rats to coyotes to baboons, Dan explores the surprising ways animals are adapting to human environments—and why understanding them may be essential to conservation, climate resilience, and our own survival. Together, they examine what city-dwelling wildlife reveals about the changing relationship between humans and the natural world.
And for Article Club, Talia talks to behavioural neuroscientist Kelly Lambert about her article on Jimothy, the raccoon who captured the internet's attention after surviving against extraordinary odds. Using Jimothy's story as a starting point, Kelly explores animal intelligence, resilience, and the remarkable role mothers play in helping young animals navigate the challenges of life in the wild.
