#154 | Nature Happy Hour #1: Colors in Nature with Brooke and Charles

Welcome to the debut episode of the show’s newest series 'Nature Happy Hour'! Joining Brooke for these conversations is her great friend and brilliant conservation scientist, Dr. Charles van Rees, PhD. In this color-inspired episode, Brooke and Charles go back and forth sharing a few of their favorite sightings - with lots of stories in-between. Charles also goes into the science behind why animals like birds and insects are far more colorful than their mammalian counterparts. Share your favorite colorful encounters in nature, send in your burning questions, and let us know what topics you'd love us to cover in future episodes. You can connect with the show on all of the social media platforms @Rewildology. Bird calls in the episode were used with permission by the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab.
