Jill Taylor is a Halifax-based biologist who researches the social behaviour of Atlantic puffins. Beyond her research, Jill has built a massive online following, sharing the beauty of Atlantic ecosystems, her love of scuba diving, and (of course) plenty of puffin antics.

Jill and Megan get into the surprisingly complex world of Atlantic puffins: what makes them so distinctive, how they navigate life at sea and on land, and why scientists once believed they were actually two completely different birds. Plus, Jill recounts her adventures diving in the Atlantic and Megan discovers a new passion for sea slugs.

But first, Megan checks in with WWF-Canada’s resident botanist Ryan Godfrey to talk about why coyotes actually belong in cities.
