Our Wild World
by Our Wild World
Our Wild World introduces listeners to, as the Lakota would say, Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ or, All Our Relations, in the animal world. Each episode is meticulously researched and includes firsthand observations from the bush of our 2 legged, 4 legged, and winged friends in the animal kingdom. The host, Dr. John David Ulferts, has been an educator for over 38 years serving as an Adjunct Professor, Superintendent, Principal, and Teacher. When John isn’t teaching, he’s traveling with his wife, Christina, also an educator and a conservationist, into the wild. Together they’ve sat in the cloud forest entertained by the shenanigans of a baby mountain gorilla as she hung from a vine, and played on the stomach of her napping silverback father. They’ve been startled as they sat alongside the campfire in the Okavango Delta by the thunderous roaring of two aggressive hippos who shook the ground as they fought just behind their tents. John and Chris have been woken from their sleep by a curious Afric

Part 1: Among the Elephants - Africa's Gentle Giants
In the first of a three part Elephants Among Us series of Our Wild World, we will explore the savannah elephants of Africa. Elephants are highly intelligent, emotional and social beings and you’ll learn all about their strong family bonds, their social behavior, the different roles of males and females, their unique anatomy, and the truly amazing discoveries being made on how elephants communicate. Elephants are the gardeners and architects of Africa spreading seeds and creating habitat wherever they go. Yet they could disappear within our lifetime due to poaching, habitat loss, and climate change without our help. You’ll also learn about brave ethologists such as Iain Douglas-Hamilton, Cynthia Moss, and Joyce Poole who have contributed vastly to our knowledge of these remarkable creatures and have dedicated their lives to elephant conservation. My wife, Christina and I have studied elephants in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Uganda, and are own adventures will be included. Finally, be sure to check out our companion Our Wild World website, Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky, or X pages to see pictures of the elephants discussed in these podcasts.
