Welcome to our 3rd episode! Join the Chicken & the Egg as we take a trip to untamed Australia. In this captivating episode, we journey to the heart of Australia to unravel the remarkable stories of two iconic and uniquely adapted animals – the kangaroo and the emu. Join us as we explore the diverse landscapes they call home and uncover the fascinating aspects of their biology and behavior.


Our exploration begins with the kangaroo, a symbol of the Australian outback. Delve into the kangaroo's incredible ability to cover vast distances with its powerful hind legs and learn about their distinctive reproductive strategies.


Next, we shift our focus to the emu, the world's second-largest bird, known for its distinctive appearance and remarkable athleticism. Dive into the emu's unique adaptations for survival, from its powerful legs and long strides to its keen sense of sight and agility.


As we journey through the episode, stay tuned for the Danger Zone; anecdotes of how each of these organisms has killed/injured/interacted with humans in the past. We will dabble on some history with the Great Emu War and discuss the kangaroos' crazy fighting methods!
