Who let the dingoes out & Ft. Leokadia George

This week on The Wild Bits Show, when a tragedy occurs on the sandy shores of K’gari, the line between human safety and wild animal instinct becomes blurred. We dissect the heartbreaking incident involving a Canadian tourist and the subsequent order to euthanize a pack of dingoes. We explore the ethics of penalizing animals for being animals and ask: are we the real invasive species? The boundary between reality and fabrication is also crumbling. We investigate how hyper-realistic AI images and videos are distorting our view of the natural world, creating false narratives that conservationists must now fight to correct. From frogs drowning out native calls to sharks ending up in school lunches, we cover the strange and serious shifts in our ecosystem. Finally, we sit down with author Leokadia George to strip away the myth of the “Big Bad Wolf.” She shares the inspiring true story of Trumpet, a Mexican Gray Wolf, and how storytelling can shape the next generation of conservationists.
