About this episode
Jeff Stanfield & Andy Shaver are joined by Dr. Philip Lavretsky, who is a professor in the Biology department at the University of Texas at El Paso. The guys discuss the diluted genes of the Atlantic Flyway mallard and how they have become not only genetically different from pure blood mallards but also behaviorally different from wild birds. They also discuss the dichotomy of the conservation argument, and how science could allow for the reintroduction of the Woolly Mammoth, the Passenger Pigeon, and the Labrador duck.
