Wildlife podcast

Ever wonder what the wild animals around you are getting up to at different times of the year? And perhaps what you can do to help them?

Tune in every month to find out!

Our wildlife podcast involves one of our six wildlife scientists talking about current welfare issues in the animal world – plus visits to some of our wildlife centres.

From baby booms in spring, to basking snakes in summer, to hibernating bats and hedgehogs in winter - learn about them all here!
 

What to listen out for this month 

This month, the head of our wildlife science team, Rob Atkinson, talks about going to the Middle East to attend the CITES meeting.

What is CITES, how is it connected to wildlife and why does the RSPCA go? All the answers lie in our March podcast, along with the latest RSPCA wildlife news.

Do you have a burning question for our wildlife scientists? 

Perhaps you want to know what to feed the hedgehog that wanders into your garden. Or maybe you've always wanted to know why red and grey squirrels cause so much controversy. And just why did the whale swim up the Thames in January 2006?

If you'd like to be part of next month's RSPCA wildlife podcast, you can email your wildlife questions to us, along with your name and where you're from, and we'll answer as many as we can in the next edition.
