On a recent trip to New York, Chris, Kiley, and two volunteers spent a few days searching a property for Box Turtles. Although Box Turtles eluded our crew this time, they did scrounge up this old male Wood Turtle, which is arguably a much more significant find. #OrianneSociety #KileyBriggs #FacesoftheForest #Turtle #WoodTurtle #Glyptemysinsculpta #WildlifeConservation (fb)

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Liang Luo, Professor at the University of Kentucky and a leading expert in Chinese folklore, for a deep dive into the cultural legacy of snakes in Chinese tradition. Their conversation opens with the Legend of the White Snake—one of the most celebrated tales in Chinese folklore—and explores Dr. Luo’s in-depth research and recent book on the subject. The discussion also touches on the symbolic role of snakes in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, with special emphasis on the Year of the Snake. The Snake Talk Podcast is geared towards increasing education about snakes and decreasing fear and persecution.
