This episode includes a powerful rescue story about trafficked juvenile toucans getting a second chance at the Bronx Zoo, hopeful conservation news for North Atlantic right whales after the strongest calving season since 2009, new findings from NOAA on northern fur seal deaths linked to a harmful algal bloom in Alaska, a warning about the live primate trade happening on social media, and a worldwide conservation update from Thailand where juvenile leopard sharks are being released and monitored as part of a rewilding effort.

We also share an exciting Sunny Bear update: Sunny Bear Rescue Coffee Co. is signing new partnerships and looking forward to growing, because every step forward means more opportunities to help more pets, more families, and more communities. Around here, coffee is more than caffeine — it’s rescue fuel.

In this Sunny Bear Radio News Update, we explore what dogs meant to the ancient Maya. Drawing from archaeological discoveries, historical research, and recent reporting, this episode looks at how dogs were seen not just as companions, but also as animals tied to trade, ceremony, burial, and belief. It’s a fascinating look at the deep bond between humans and dogs — one that stretches back thousands of years.
