2024-06-10 16:19:03 +0000 UTCI don't think Maya needed to use air quotes while talking about the amphibious centipede. Amphibious, the word, and Amphibian, the classification, are only sort of related. Amphibian and Amphibious are related in the same way that scissors and schizophrenia are related. They share a Greek root word. Amphibious, as a term for living on land and in water, predates the classification of Amphibians. Most Amphibians are amphibious, but not all. A fully aquatic salamander would be a good example of an Amphibian, but not really amphibious. In short, calling it an amphibious centipede is correct because something being amphibious isn't directly connected to whether it is an Amphibian.

2024-06-07 17:25:36 +0000 UTCLove all the info, mainly on Pangolins, suuuper interesting. It would be cool if you guys would include CITES status as well, especially for animals like these endangered by trade. Little people know about it still unfortunately..

2024-06-07 01:45:08 +0000 UTCLove the pod! World’s oldest might be a good follow up (most unchanged from prehistoric ancestors). Also would love to see some cool species of plants once in a while if they fit the categories :)

2024-06-06 16:29:43 +0000 UTCI would also really love a deep sea episode. I don't do it as often as I used to, but I love to watch all of the Nautilus and NOAA deep sea exploration live streams

2024-06-06 16:25:01 +0000 UTCAwesome episode topic, that pelican spider looked real wicked! If I were to suggest an episode I would suggest world most alike/worlds doppelgangers, about convergent evolution and animals who evolved to look the same, have the same niche, and/or does look alike. Or something a bit bittersweet on the fastest adapting animals, on where you see species totally move from their niche or adapt to a new lifestyle due to climate changes and habitat losses

2024-06-06 13:55:44 +0000 UTCI am absolutely loving this podcast. There are not enough animal education podcasts that feel like your friends telling you about dope animals over coffee. Keep it up!
