The Prince of Pounce with Jeff Ewelt of ZooMontana
Listen now
Description
Today, the Safari heads to Montana (by way of Zoom) to sit down with Executive Director of ZooMontana Jeff Ewelt. Jeff has managed to turn ZooMontana into a premier AZA-accredited facility despite taking over when the zoo not only lost accreditation, but was on the verge of closing down. This is a story of how an incredible team can come together to change a facility in a short amount of time...but don't worry, we also talk about wolverines, red pandas, and some of the other incredible animals that call ZooMontana home!  EPISODE LINKS:  www.zoomontana.org  @zoomontana on socials  ROSSIFARI LINKS:  patreon.com/rossifari to support the pod  @rossifari on socials  @rossifaripod on TikTok  rossifari.com
