Here an Now - National Geographic's Brady Barr

[Science and Technology] [Environment] [Education]

Brady Barr is not your mild mannered herpetologist. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he has lovely manners, and is the kind of person you want to invite home to dinner with the family. It's just that this guy has guts. How else would he be willing to travel the globe in search of every specie of crocodile and alligator and not just observe them, but to get up close and, well, personal?

I can't think of many people who would venture into a cave where bat guano is so think, it's like wading through mud. Bats are flying overhead, maggots and cockroaches crawl among the muck and rocks, and oh yea, there's tons of pythons slithering through it all.

Its enough to send shivers down anyone's spine. I'd like to see the folks in Hollywood try to recreate such a scene. I don't even think Indiana Jones would last 10 seconds.

So, Brady has been gracious enough to spend an hour with KJZZ listeners, telling stories and answering questions. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to hear what he has to say. I'm just glad he's not bringing along some of the creatures he studies. Or is he?

Please submit your questions below. The shorter the question, the more likely it will be chosen. Thanks! Paul

Re: Here an Now - National Geographic's Brady Barr

Having worked in the pet store industry I can attest that shows like Brady's inspire people to seek out these animals as pets. However, I have never seen these shows address the reptile pet industry and the difficulty inherent in keeping them in captivity. Is there any plan or way to address this on his program.
