His story is a soaring reminder that compassion can rise from even the hardest beginnings.www.furrealpodcast.comig@nairobi_birdman ig@thefurrealpodcast ig@markakylefb@ Nairobi Birdman fb@ Mark A Kyletik tok @nairobi.birdman tik tok @ The Fur Real PodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Fur Real Podcast, we head to the Arctic with Dr. Steven Amstrup of Polar Bears International, the world’s leading organization dedicated to the conservation of polar bears and their sea ice habitat. With climate change melting the Arctic at an alarming rate, polar bears are being pushed to their limits—swimming longer distances, struggling to hunt, and adapting to a rapidly changing environment. Dr. Amstrup shares incredible facts about these powerful animals: their fur is actually translucent, their skin is black, and they’re capable of swimming for days across icy waters. But beyond the trivia, this episode dives deep into the urgent challenges they face and what scientists and conservationists are doing to help. Whether you're a polar bear superfan or just polar bear-curious, this episode delivers eye-opening science, expert insights, and a powerful message of hope. www.furrealpodcast.com                        www.polarbearsinternational.org fb @The Fur Real Podcast      fb @Mark A Kyle      fb @polarbearsinternational Ig @thefurrealpodcast     Ig @markakyle    ig@polarbeardsinternational tik tok @The Fur Real Podcast         tik tok @polarbearsinternational You Tube  @ The Fur Real Podcast    You Tube @Polarbearsinternational.org Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

When you think of cryotherapy, you probably picture a human stepping into a freezing cold chamber — but did you know cryotherapy is now helping horses without the giant ice-box contraptions? This week on The Fur Real Podcast, we dive into the cold, hard facts with Brady Case of Precision Equine Therapy, a pioneer bringing mobile cryotherapy directly to horses (and even their owners!). Brady breaks down how targeted cryotherapy triggers a powerful physiological response that reduces pain, inflammation, and promotes faster healing — often slashing recovery times in ways that seem almost unbelievable. We talk about the science behind the chill, why cold therapy works so effectively for injuries and maintenance, and how his mobile system makes it easy for horse owners and trainers to integrate cryotherapy into their regular care routines. Not only is Brady treating horses, but he's also empowering owners, trainers, and barn staff to learn the techniques themselves — creating a ripple effect of better health and recovery in equine communities everywhere. If you love learning about cutting-edge animal therapies, want to boost your horse’s performance and recovery, or are just curious how a little cold can create such hot results, you won’t want to miss this episode. www.furrealpodcast.com   www.pecryo.com fb The Fur Real Podcast      fb Mark A Kyle fb Precision Equine Cryotherapy ig@thefurrealpodcast    ig@markakyle ig@precision_equine_therapy tik tok  @The Fur Real Podcast      tik tok @pecryo Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

You’ve heard of the Big Bad Wolf, Call of the Wild, and countless other wolf tales… but have you ever heard of Sea Wolves? These extraordinary wolves are unlike any others on Earth. Joining us today is Dr. Chris Darimont—a professor at the University of Victoria, the Director of Science at the Raincoast Conservation Foundation, and one of the world’s leading experts on Sea Wolves. He’s here to share their fascinating story. These wild canines roam the remote coastline of British Columbia, living in one of the most stunning and untamed environments on the planet. But here’s what makes them truly unique: over 80% of their diet comes from the ocean! They feast on fish, crabs, seals, and even barnacles, adapting to a marine lifestyle in ways no other wolf species has. And get this—they don’t just wade in the water; they’re incredible long-distance swimmers, sometimes covering up to 7 miles between islands! Imagine spotting a wolf slicing through the waves like an apex predator of both land and sea. If you haven’t seen the award-winning documentary Takaya: Lone Wolf, put it on your must-watch list. It tells the unbelievable true story of a lone Sea Wolf who captivated the world with his journey. Scientists, conservationists, and Indigenous Nations are working together to better understand and protect these wolves. The First Nations have long believed Sea Wolves bring good fortune and prosperity—so by the time you finish this episode, maybe a little luck will come your way too!

From Two Donkeys to a Lifesaving Mission: The Story of Longhopes Donkey Shelter What started as a simple search for two donkeys turned into a 25-year journey of rescue, rehabilitation, and advocacy. Kathy Dean, founder of Longhopes Donkey Shelter, didn’t just open the first accredited donkey shelter in the U.S.—she created a safe haven for donkeys in need, from those at risk of slaughter to elderly donkeys looking for a peaceful retirement. In this heartwarming episode, Kathy shares her incredible journey, the challenges donkeys face, and the deep intelligence, kindness, and loyalty of these often-overlooked animals. Did you know a female donkey is sometimes called a "she-ass" and a male a "jackass"? Or that donkeys weren’t even called "donkeys" until the late 1700s? With over 40 million donkeys worldwide, their history is rich, and their role in human life is profound—especially for gold miners, who once relied on them as steadfast companions. Just like the old Hee Haw show, this episode will bring a smile to your face and leave you with a newfound appreciation for these remarkable “beasts of burden.” 🐴✨ Tune in for a mix of fun facts, heartfelt rescue stories, and a deep dive into the world of donkeys. www.furrealpodcast.com                       www.longhopes.org ig@thefurrealpodcast                            ig@longhopesdonkeyshelter ig@markakyle fb The Fur Real Podcast                         fb  Longhopes Donkey Shelter fb Markakyle tik tok The Fur Real Podcast Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

Did you know that the most trafficked animal in the world isn’t elephants, rhinos, or tigers—but the humble pangolin? These elusive, armor-clad creatures, often called "scaly anteaters," are so rare that many people have never even heard of them. And yet, they are being pushed to the brink of extinction due to illegal wildlife trade. In this eye-opening episode of Fur Real, I sit down with Dr. Matthew Shirley of the Pangolin Specialist Group, who works closely with IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) to protect these incredible mammals. We uncover jaw-dropping facts about pangolins—like how their 16-inch-long, ultra-sticky tongue helps them feast on insects, even though they don’t have teeth! Plus, they are the only mammals covered in scales, which they use as a built-in defense system, rolling into an impenetrable ball when threatened. But here's the dark truth: pangolins are being hunted at alarming rates for their meat and scales, making them a prime target for black market trade. Dr. Shirley breaks down what’s being done to combat this crisis—from dismantling illegal trafficking networks to implementing innovative conservation strategies that protect both pangolins and the rural communities affected by the trade. This episode is packed with mind-blowing facts, conservation efforts, and ways YOU can help save one of the world's most unique and endangered creatures.

Magic meets science in this episode of Fur Real. Have you heard of the unicorns of the sea? Narwhals, with their iconic tusks, are as fascinating as they are mysterious. Joining us is Dr. Martin Nweeia, the leading expert on these Arctic creatures, to share incredible stories and surprising facts. Did you know their “horn” is actually a tooth that can grow up to ten feet long? Or that they can dive over 7,000 feet deep thanks to a special protein that supercharges their oxygen reserves? But narwhals aren’t just science—they’re steeped in legend. Inuit mythology tells of a woman who was pulled into the sea while hunting, and her braided hair became the tusk we see today. In medieval times, the tusk was believed to have magical powers, capable of curing poison and disease. Even Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea drew inspiration from these incredible animals. From myths to biology, Dr. Nweeia brings stories you won’t want to miss.

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of The Fur Real podcast, Shannon Walker, founder of Northwest Battle Buddies, shares the incredible impact of her organization. Since 2011, Northwest Battle Buddies has been transforming the lives of veterans suffering from PTSD by pairing them with specially trained service dogs, known as “Battle Buddies.” With an estimated 22 veterans losing their lives to suicide daily—a rate 50% higher than that of non-veterans—this work is crucial. Shannon explains the rigorous, months-long training process that both the dogs and veterans undergo to form a bond rooted in mutual support and care. Once completed, these pairs provide each other with unwavering companionship, helping veterans manage the overwhelming and life-altering effects of PTSD. While PTSD was only officially recognized in 1980, its impact on veterans remains profound and lasting. Although PTSD cannot be cured, programs like Northwest Battle Buddies offer a path to healing, providing hope and resilience to American heroes who carry these invisible wounds daily. This episode is both heart-wrenching and heartwarming, as Shannon’s passion and dedication shine through every word. It’s a powerful message of hope and the extraordinary connection between veterans and their “Battle Buddies.” www.furrealpodcast.com www.northwestbattlebuddies.org fb The Fur Real Podcast            fb Northwest Battle Buddies ig @thefurrealpodcast             ig @northwestbattlebuddies tik tok @thefurrealpodcast      threads @thefurrealpodcast Blue Sky The Fur Real Podcast Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

We’re diving into a cutting-edge treatment for pets: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). Did you know this therapy, often used by elite athletes to enhance recovery, is available for our four-legged friends too? But what exactly is HBOT, and what can it do for your pet? In simple terms, HBOT is a therapy where pets breathe in pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. This boost in oxygen saturates their red blood cells, promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and providing relief from a variety of ailments. It’s similar to the chambers divers use when they resurface too quickly and experience “the bends”—only, in this case, it’s for our pets’ recovery and well-being. Our guest, Teri Swanson, has years of experience with HBOT for animals and guides us through its benefits, explaining how it helps pets recover from injuries, surgeries, and even chronic conditions.

I’m joined by Kathy Rust of the Vizsla Club of America, a passionate Breeder of Merit with the AKC and perhaps the Vizsla’s biggest fan. Get ready to hear all about why these dogs are truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re looking for a loving, kid-friendly companion or an incredibly intelligent and versatile dog, Vizslas check every box. Kathy takes us on a captivating journey through the breed’s remarkable history, showing us why these dogs are so cherished today. "Vizsla" comes from the Hungarian word meaning "pointing," but these dogs are much more than just talented hunting companions. From their earliest appearances in ancient paintings and drawings to their rise as the favored dogs of Hungarian aristocrats, Vizslas have a rich and storied past. But their survival hasn’t always been easy. During World War II, Hitler sought to wipe them out to demoralize the locals, and later the Communists targeted them for being a symbol of wealth. The breed was nearly lost, with only about a dozen Vizslas remaining at one point. Thanks to the resilience and dedication of Vizsla lovers, the breed was saved from extinction. Today, they’re known as "velcro" dogs for their affectionate nature and are beloved for their versatility. Tune in as Kathy shares her deep knowledge and passion for this incredible breed—one that continues to win hearts all around the world. www.furrealpodcast.com           www.vcaweb.org fb The Fur Real Podcast             fb Vizsla Club of America ig @thefurrealpodcast               ig @officialvizslaclubofamerica tiktok The Fur Real Podcast       tik tok Vizsla Club of America   Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!
