It took a while to pull this episode together. There was quite a bit of cold emailing. It’s very likely my emails ended up in junk mail folders, to be discarded — unread — 10 days later.
However, one email was opened and read (thank you, Pat Magee). It was forwarded and opened by Dan Zadra and Kevin Blecha of Colorado Parks & Wildlife. Both have amazing insight on wildlife behaviour, work with wildlife on a daily basis, and who agreed to let me pick their brains.
Kevin is the interviewee of Episode 5 and was able to provide basic information about mountain lion feeding behaviour, as well as insights to my hypothetical forensic scenarios.
I hope this episode helps to close the gap regarding animal behaviour in forensic investigations. It’s isn’t everything, but it’s a start.
