Topical Currents

South Florida's Urban Menagerie

10/09/13 - Wednesday's TopicalCurrents examines how our lives are increasingly entwined with creatures which are displaced by suburbia, highways and urban sprawl. South Florida is a prime example of urban menagerie creation, through habitat loss.  We see foxes, raccoons, wading birds, reptiles and even vultures on our streets and properties.  We’ll speak with nature writer and researcher Lyanda Lynn Haupt about her book, THE URBAN BESTIARY: Encountering the Everyday Wild.  That’s Topical Currents . . . Wednesday at 1pm.
