EALT interviewed on CBC's Edmonton AM show

Listen the show segment here: It’s dark outside, but some animals like it that way

To celebrate the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, CBC’s Mark Connolly and Tara McCarthy interview Conservation Coordinator Meghan Jacklin about nocturnal animals in the Edmonton area. While these animals thrive in the dark, they are rarely seen and a lot is not commonly known about them.

In this quick interview, you can learn the answers to questions like:

  • What animals are active at night?

  • Why are these animals nocturnal?

  • What role in the ecosystem do they have?
