What's the Deal with Sheep?

What the heck is anthrozoology? And what can sheep teach us about the complex relationships between humans and animals? Join The Amys and their very special guest, Marika Bell, dog trainer, anthrozoologist, and host of The Deal With Animals podcast. Marika discusses her fascinating research with sheep, how scientists study social behavior across species, and what our interactions with animals reveal about us humans (SPOILER ALERT: we're often the complicated ones!). Baaaaaaaa ha ha ha 🐑👀!

But, they’re not just talking sheep! They also dive into the world of podcasting, exploring how to make conversations about animal behavior more engaging, educational, inclusive, and impactful. Plus, Marika reveals her favorite podcast guests, most memorable animal encounters, and what she's buzzzzzzing about next. From sheep science to books they’d gift to a friend, this episode is packed with curiosity, laughs, and a sobering look at how little we actually understand about the animals around us.

Don't be sheepish! It’s time to grab a cocktail, and catch the latest buzzzzzz, courtesy of your favorite VBees 🐝🐝, on the latest episode of Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys veterinary behavior podcast.
