The Wild Life

Our first meet up has been scheduled! It will be at a park in Central Minnesota, Quarry Park, August 11, 5 pm
It can be hard to tell. Here are some tips to help you get the right ID.
This week, we have a story from Richard Bowker, co-host of The Wild Life, about his trip to Enchanted Rock.
A fish you probably never heard of has one of the most clever camouflage tricks out there, accounts for 65% of the deep seas biomass, and can disrupt sonar.
How do Pelican beaks work? How much can they fit in their pouch? How do Pelicans hunt? I've got the answers to those and more!
In an effort to keep telling trail tales and further our hiking club, we are dedicating at least one TWL Hiking Club Tuesday a month to OUR STORIES. This week, we have a story from TWL Hiking Club member, and dear friend, Shi Weisman.
The Wood Frog is a sort of rusty-tan color with a dark band across the eye like a raccoon, distinguishing itself from all other North American frog species.
In this episode, Devon and Richard go on a totally real, not-recorded-indoors, time travel adventure to explore the life history of the busiest mammal out there---the beaver.
If the Largemouth Bass was in school (not the fishy kind, but the human kind), they'd almost certainly be one of the popular kids.
This #SundayFishSketch, we learn about the Ocean Sunfish, an SUV sized face with fins.
