African Dwarf Crocodile (Osteolaemus tetraspis)

Episode 16

Wednesday, July 15, 2026 • Duration 43:39

This week we discuss a small crocodilian that may not be what you imagine as a classic 'crocodile'.

Tarantula Hawk Wasp (Pepsis thisbe)

Episode 15

Tuesday, July 7, 2026 • Duration 46:52

Thisbweek we discuss a group of fascinating wasps, using one species as a bit of a case study. Fair warning: nature may always be fascinating, but it isn't always pleasant.

Mountain Chicken (Leptodactylus fallax)

Episode 14

Tuesday, June 30, 2026 • Duration 40:33

This week, we discuss the 'mountain chicken'. Good luck guessing the type of animal if you don't already know!

European Hamster (Cricetus cricetus)

Episode 13

Tuesday, June 23, 2026 • Duration 53:33

This week we discuss the largest hamster species. There was a lot to cover, but their current conservation situation was particularly fascinating!

Secretary Bird (Sagittarius serpentarius)

Episode 12

Tuesday, June 16, 2026 • Duration 33:40

This week's topic is a unique bird of prey--sort of like an eagle on stilts. Perhaps best known for hunting snakes (it's literally their scientific name), there's a lot more to discuss about this iconic African species!

Túngara Frog (Engystomops pustulosus)

Episode 11

Tuesday, June 9, 2026 • Duration 39:14

This week we chat about our first amphibian species for the pod! There's a lot to be said about this small Central American frog, and the research that's been done on this species allowed us to get into some fascinating topics around how scientists understand evolution.

Marsupial Moles (Notoryctes sp.)

Episode 10

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 • Duration 30:18

This week we discuss an obscure Australian marsupial that swims through sand. Although there's a lot we don't yet know about these small mammals, what we do know is fascinating!

Cookiecutter Shark (Isistius brasilensis)

Episode 9

Wednesday, May 27, 2026 • Duration 30:24

This week we discuss a small, parasitic shark known for biting circular plugs of flesh out of large fish, whales, and other animals. This one's a paradoxical species that we've known about for a while yet are still often left guessing about.

Moose (Alces alces)

Episode 8

Tuesday, May 19, 2026 • Duration 32:09

This week we discuss an emblem of northern forests: the moose. This charismatic species may be widely familiar, but the impressions we have of them may not always match the reality.

Elephant mosquitoes (Toxorhynchites sp.)

Episode 7

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 • Duration 29:31

This week we talk about a genus of mosquitoes. Don't be daunted by their large size--these may be the ideal mosquitoes for humans!

One small amendment from Jon: in the episode, I didn't know the lifespan of the adults. I looked it up afterwards; they live a bit longer than I expected, ~2-4 weeks (with quite a range, may vary according to species + environmental factors). Males seem to have much shorter adult lives than females.
