Added 2024-06-27 15:00:15 +0000 UTCA chopstick-teethed mole rat, the sad reality of the famous blob fish meme, the weirdest finger you will ever see, and a moonwalking manakin bird. On this episode of World’s Wildest, Maya & Connor talk through our world’s weirdest animals.

2024-07-02 10:46:28 +0000 UTCLoved this episode! I had an idea for „worlds most invasive“, awareness around invasive species is a super important part of conservation and could be nice to highlight. Also „worlds most parasitic“ could be interesting, talking about parasites like cowbirds and cuckoo bumblebees that take over the nest of other species!

2024-07-02 10:37:22 +0000 UTCI love those little aye ayes I remember the omen of pointing at you. I would probably feel a little weirded out but probably try and hand it a bug 🐛

2024-07-01 15:47:03 +0000 UTCMe and my blåhaj Bibbi are watching all the episodes and she was really happy to not see herself in this one since she really has some problems with her confidence. Great episode again though!

2024-06-28 07:43:22 +0000 UTCI have been fortunate to see them! Even in AVA zoos as nocturnal animals they’re hard to see. This didn’t cover the coolest fact & sad- at night when spotted in wild it often appears as they would point their finger. Which wouldn’t be hard to imagine if they move their hands at all… and that is the believed omen of chosen death supposedly. It always broke my heart that they’re living their lives and so misunderstood for looking a certain way

2024-06-28 02:39:05 +0000 UTCNah no meanness to the aye aye. I love those guys. Have gone full research rabbit holes on them many times over the years since an anthropology class first learned of them

2024-06-28 02:07:55 +0000 UTCSome blind mole rats also communicate over long distances with seismic communication - they tap their heads on rocks. Another fun episode, thanks!

2024-06-27 16:28:36 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed the 2 truths/1 lie! It’s a nice way to get some rapid-fire animal facts that didn’t make it into the larger deepdive segments
