Mooney Goes Wild: Habitats

Derek Mooney Image Name: Derek Mooney Description: Derek Mooney

In this series of Mooney Goes Wild specials, biologist Terry Flanagan, ornithologist Eric Dempsey and botanist Matthew Jebb take listeners on a wondrous journey into the habitats of some our native and exotic plant and animal species.

Every plant and animal needs a habitat, an environment where all their daily needs are met. Food, water, and a home to raise their young.

From the Lowland rainforest of Malaysia, where Banana Trees thrive to a derelict castle along the banks of River Corrib in Co. Galway to the grasslands and farmlands of Ireland where the Skylark is common.
