Bill Radke talks about our anthropomorphizing of the grieving mother orca, Tahlequah, and what it tells us about how humans think about mothering and losing a child.
We speak to Marc Bekoff, professor emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado and author of The Emotional Lives of Animals: A Leading Scientist Explores Animal Joy, Sorrow, and Empathy ― and Why They Matter, among many books. We also speak to Angela Garbes, author of Like A Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy.
