WEBINAR | Counting Sheep: Observing Bighorn Behavior in the Field
Meet the largest wild sheep in North America: the bighorn. These unique ungulates roam throughout the West, from red rock canyons to grassy prairies. Utah wildlife biologist Toni Proescholdt describes the bighorns’ complex social lives, including their sexually segregated herds (rams only join ewes during rut), lamb-rearing practices and the males’ impressive jousting abilities. Find out where you can spot bighorn sheep in the wild (including on our Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Canyon adventures), and learn what to look for when observing them in the field.
WEBINAR | Wolves, Weasels & Coyotes: Carnivores of North America
Not all carnivores are created equal, at least when it comes to what they eat. Meet some of the carnivores of North America as Expedition Leader Rylee Jensen delves into the history of carnivore extermination in North America and reveals how the humble coyote emerged as one of the most resilient species in the world. She also explains what separates an apex predator from a mesocarnivore and illustrates the concept of trophic cascades -- predator-prey interactions that can impact entire ecosystems.
WEBINAR | Antlers: Their Role in the Rut
Fall is breeding season (known as “the rut”) for elk, moose, caribou, deer and other cervids in the northern hemisphere, and antlers play an important role in determining which males are successfully able to mate and which are left on the sidelines. Join Expedition Leader and wildlife biologist Aaron Bott as he delves into exactly what antlers are, how they evolved, how they grow (and fall off, and grow again), and their function in mate selection and combat.
