The Daily Planet Cafe Hosts Science Cafe Event Nov. 15 To Discuss The New Dog On The Block
Rocky Top Hospitality's Downtown Raleigh Restaurant Discusses Ecology, Behavior And Hybrid Genetics Of Coyotes.
- Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease) November 09, 2012 - Dean Ogan, owner of Rocky Top Hospitality (http://www.rockytophospitality.com/), has announced that on Thursday, Nov. 15, The Daily Planet Café will host a science café discussion regarding the newest dog to North Carolina - the coyote. As more coyotes migrate and settle in North Carolina, the feelings of those who see these new animals range from wonder to curiosity to fear. The event will dive into the ecology that surrounds coyotes, their behaviors and the hybrid genetics that make up our new neighbors. The event will be led by Dr. Roland Kays, who serves as the director of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science's biodiversity and Earth conservation research lab, as well as a professor at NC State University where he teaches in the fisheries, wildlife and conservation biology program.
QUOTES:
"So many of our science events are interesting and light-hearted conversations that surround everything from the makeup of coffee beans to trivia game nights, but it is equally important that we use these events to discuss serious matters in an effort to shed light on various issues and better inform the local community" said Ogan. "The population of coyotes across North Carolina is on the rise and without the proper information, some may mistake these creatures as loveable dogs that belong to the family down the street. We look forward to Dr. Kays' discussion and invite the public to grab a bite while learning about the bark and biology behind out new neighbors."
