Habitat Enrichment

Apr 13, 2023 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Music

With Krista

Habitat Enrichment is the concept of introducing novelty to an animal's enclosure to keep it from getting bored or sad. Let me play you something fun. Genres span world and time, just like a cat with a box to play in.

Some specialties you can usually hear a little on my show: Luk Thuong, 60s crooners, cow punk, and synthwave. If you don't like the song currently playing, wait approximately 2 minutes for something else!

spring? summer?

From all the disccusion of nature and bears, anyone heard of the other sad story of some girl named Maureen Kelly that disappeared since 2013 on a "spiritual and natural" nature hike in a national forest park in Washington?
Flogging Mok 9:06:20 AM
cool tune
Krista (host) 9:07:47 AM
thanks, Mok. And no, I hadn't heard of Maureen Kelly. A lot of people disappear in national parks!
Krista (host) 9:08:05 AM
I avoid true crime podcasts and stuff of that nature, too icky for me
Ossy 9:08:58 AM
Eeee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Maureen_Kelly
Ossy 9:09:51 AM
I also despise that type of camping and hiking where so many scary animals are around you.
Ossy 9:10:49 AM
Not to mention natural smelly places in the wilderness, haha.
Krista (host) 9:11:02 AM
human animals are the scariest for me. i'd never go alone as a woman because too many of my friends have had super scary encounters with men on trails
Krista (host) 9:11:21 AM
one man followed a friend of mine for 30 miles on the appalachian trail
Krista (host) 9:11:31 AM
like a goddamn terminator or some shit
Ossy 9:12:12 AM
People take their chances with bears, wolves, mountain lions and non predator animals like goats and moose!
Krista (host) 9:12:18 AM
and he wasn't just naturally behind her, he would catch up to her and say yucky things, then disappear for a while, then show up and scare her
Krista (host) 9:12:46 AM
rams have wrecked me before! sheep are nothing to mess around with

The wilderness scares the hell out of me, especially wooded areas. These old mountains out here could tell so many stories
Krista (host) 9:15:24 AM
I grew up with a grandmother telling me all the scary german folktales about the deep dark woods and the Black Forest
Ossy 9:15:45 AM
Stalker I mean. Btw, some guy died by a mountain goat I read and some idiot had his doberman chained up at night and a cougar attacked it. Fortunately, the dog survived(thanks to the spiked collar and chain from being dragged away) and I hope it got taken away from the owner
TAndy 9:17:08 AM
I love the folklore from the low European countries, it gets so gruesome 🤣
Krista (host) 9:17:22 AM
I like being deep in the woods, it's a beautiful place for me. But I've done that since I was a child and I'm not going alone. Many times it's hunting so I'll have a rifle. Not in Jersey, too densely populated to feel good about rifle hunting.
Ossy 9:17:23 AM
Reading that Maureen Kelly story, and I still wonder why in the world will she do such a scary thing, taking a journey off alone in the wilderness and that nobody tried stopping her immediately by all means?
TAndy 9:17:55 AM
Who knows
Krista (host) 9:18:32 AM
yeah, that's a wild sentence from wikipedia: According to a group of friends who were at the campground with Kelly, she stated she was going on a "spiritual quest" and subsequently removed her clothes and walked into the woods wearing only a fanny pack containing knives, matches and a compass.[2] No one tried to stop her.[3]
TAndy 9:18:56 AM
My friend wants to take me to Yosemite when I visit our west again later this year, hoping he doesn't want to go camping though. Mountain lions scare the hell out of me.
Ossy 9:20:13 AM
Krista - I stopped at some relatively safe NJ nature reserve park on a way to some 2021 African festival event, to check for directions and got out to enjoy the view for some, and the place, as naturally smelled less than aesthetic, lol. I did see some family's two big scary dogs having fun in a lake and people hiking.
Ossy 9:22:35 AM
Tandy - Regardless what the pro animal lovers say, of "but they're not as dangerous, as you think, mountain lions are a terror to always fear. Told a friend of mine in Cali mountains, that mountain lions are known to inhabit there and masters of stealth, especially in the night.
Krista (host) 9:23:21 AM
if you see them, they want you to see them
TAndy 9:23:44 AM
They rarely attack humans, unless you encroach on their territory while they have babies. But with mountain lions, you won't know you're a victim till they're on u
TAndy 9:23:54 AM
It's a shame because they're still adorable
Ossy 9:25:09 AM
Krista - Yeah that very action of Kelly, and her "so called friends". Btw on a side note, Maureen kinda looks like Auli'i Cravalho (Moana's voice)
Ossy 9:28:18 AM
Tandy - True also, mothers are most dangerous and the cubs are cute...til they get older LOL. I also recall that one story of the 2000s of some girl got attacked by a cougar after she decided to rest alone from hiking with her friends. She survived, when her friends came back to fight it off.
