Episode #29: World Famous Author & Conservationist

In this episode, I interview award-winning author and conservationist Carl Safina. He's the author of seven books and his latest, Beyond Words: How Animals Think and Feel is a New York Times Bestseller. In the book, Carl shares extraordinary stories of animals and their consciousness, self-awareness and empathy and the similarities to humans.We discuss Carl's early beginnings and what led him to become an author. We then dive into the book's three focal point animals: Elephants, Wolves, and Killer Whales. Other discussions include his thoughts on elephants in captivity, trophy hunting, the irrational fear of wolves, his favorite wildlife encounter, and his viral TED Talk: What Other Animals Are Thinking And Feeling.For more information, please visit http://carlsafina.orgTED Talk: What Animals Are Thinking And Feeling: https://www.ted.com/talks/carl_safina_what_are_animals_thinking_and_feelingFollow Corbin MaxeyYouTube: https://goo.gl/ZbuBnRInstagram: https://goo.gl/NDYWFF Twitter: https://goo.gl/F4zVfNFacebook: https://goo.gl/ZsE1SP
