Field Stories EP.27 - Miriam Boucher: Herpetology, research and canoeing with an American Crocodile
Description
This week we spoke to Miriam Boucher, a Canadian Herpetologist who specializes in researching crocodilians. Miriam talked about her work with crocodilians across the Americas, and discussed her current PhD project focusing on bioaccumulation within alligator populations in the United States. She also explained her groundbreaking device used to prop open crocodilians mouths for research. Finally she shared her field story with us, and let’s just say it invoked a massive American Crocodile zooming towards her at full speed while she was in a canoe!
Nick also made a return to the podcast, and shared a tease of the amazing stories he’s been accumulating in Suriname.
A jam-packed show that’s can’t be missed!
