| Why Are Hippos So Dangerous? | 02 Nov 2021 | 00:32:38 | |
Despite being a beloved animal around the world, hippos are considered one of the most dangerous creatures in Africa. They are responsible for more deaths than any top mammal predator. But where is this coming from? What’s going on in that big round head? In this episode we’re talking all about hippos, about their lives and what possibly makes them so dangerous. Are they just killing machines? Are they misunderstood? Or is it something more complicated, that lies in between, just under the surface of the murky water. Sources | |||

| The Smartest Fish in the Sea | 28 Jan 2021 | 00:24:07 | |
When we think of smart animals, we generally don’t think of fish. Recently however we humans are learning that fish have a lot more brain power than we once thought. One fish in particular is swimming out above the rest. Oh, and they’re also mythical looking creatures that fly through the water on 25 foot long wings. Find out how their brains are surprising us, how we think they got so smart, and why they need our help.
