What a great interview. Rob Rich crossed my path years ago when he  was working with Ben Goldfarb writing for High Country News. He commented on the website that he was really enjoying reading about our beavers. I can’t find the audio so you are going to have to click thru to the player but it is really worth it. Trust me.

Castorology (BEAVERS) with Rob Rich

Orange teeth! Vanilla butts! Architecture with twigs! Olde-timey joke books? Field naturalist, conservationist, wildlife tracker and “beaver believer” Rob Rich works with the National Wildlife Federation’s coordination of the Montana Beaver Working Group and answers all of our Castorological questions about: baby beavers, tooth tools, lodges, dams, the sound of water, the slap of a tail, who eats beaver and why, beavers in peril, in folklore, in smut books, in your neighborhood and in your dreams forever. Also: yes we discuss slang.
