Episode 13: short-eared dogs, little black tapirs, vaquita updates and Rice's whale on the brink

Welcome to the thirteenth episode of The Zoology Ramblings Podcast!

In this episode, our animals of the weeks include the shadowy short-eared dog and the cryptic little black tapir, which may or may not be a new species. The dynamic duo then delve deeper into some wider conservation stories, including a sad update about the status of vaquitas in Baha California and the newly discovered, yet already critically endangered Rice's Whale. 


Shoutout to Wayne Gourlay for the suggestion of the short-eared dog!
