Happy Valentine's Day!

Not lying, this is the best audio quality we have had and I literally jumped for joy when I first listened back to this one. The audio quality has been weighing on me, so I am so happy to provide some quality control for once! In this episode, Allie and Courtney enjoy a classy glass of Thousand Lives Merlot, showcase Amarula Cream Liqueur, and spread the word about the world’s biggest and most charismatic land animal.

Updates:

- Sending good vibes to the Dallas Zoo. If you haven’t heard, Dallas Zoo has been experiencing some trespassing and animal endangerment. Someone who has since been arrested broke into the zoo and cut multiple fences protecting various species who live in the zoo. We just want to inform everyone listening to be observant and if you see something suspicious, say something.

- Nashville Zoo’s American Association of Zoo Keepers Chapter is raising funds to support The Belize Zoo. This past November the best little zoo in the world was devastated by Hurricane Lisa. 100% of the proceeds from the sales of this specially designed Tshirt will go to the Belize Zoo to help with hurricane relief.  https://www.bonfire.com/belize-zoo/?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=campaign_page_share&utm_campaign=belize-zoo&utm_content=default&fbclid=IwAR1Y8OTG0bP01rcd4p2tTeZcR_491-i9B6TFskIng0y9EsAB4ZAomF2UVDU

Now let’s chat about the elephant in the room, Elephants have a hand on their nose. Let that sink in...These sensitive creatures serve as keystone species in their regions of the world, literally paving the way for the growth of their habitats. As an endangered species, poaching and human conflict are the main reasons that their populations are decreasing.
