  • Episode 1.12: Reptiles
    Nov 9 2024

    Ready to get cold-blooded? In this episode, we’re slithering, crawling, and sunbathing – mostly sunbathing actually. Found all over the globe, reptiles are masters of adaptation with some seriously wild tricks up their scaly sleeves. I’m talking heavy-armoured animal tanks (aka turtles), scale-flexing shapeshifters (hello, chameleons!), and even the little-known “third-eye” tuatara. But first, we’ll discover what amniotes are and why reptile evolution is so damn confusing! Have a listen to find out more about these funky scaly creatures.

  • Episode 1.11: Amphibians
    Oct 24 2024

    To discover class Amphibia in this episode, we must first talk about tetrapods: the wiggly pioneers that first crawled out of the water and paved the way for life on land. And then, we're hopping (and slithering) into the odd and wonderful world of amphibians! These guys are the true weirdos of the animal kingdom - breathing through their skin, giving birth out of their back, and even regenerating body parts like it's no big deal. Have a listen to discover the good, the weird, and the "wait, what?!" of these slimy critters, and why keeping them around is really important for our planet.

  • Episode 1.10: Fish(es)
    Aug 29 2024

    Let's dive (did you get the pun haha) into the world of fish! These come in all shapes and sizes and are found in every (aquatic) corner of the globe, so chances are you've seen one before and you know what I'm talking about. But I'm ready to bet you might not have known that the group of animals we call "fish" is a lot more diverse than many people think! Listen to this episode to find out more about jawless blood-suckers, fishes made of the same material as our nose and ears, and a rock-looking fella that could land you a trip to the hospital.
