Related and not related!

Not specifically related to meerkats but we mentioned on the show, this is a brilliant ecologist who gives a talk about what makes humans different. As we’ve heard on our show, sometimes it seems like we can’t be that different, and this talk goes deep into the difference between a 9 and a 10 on our pretend intelligence scale. Some disturbing images but all safe for work. Parents preview before showing to children.

How do meerkats communicate?

Really, really well, clever little beasties!

What the heck? What is swarm intelligence?

Bad Times at the El Royale

David and Phil take off on a road trip this week and all goes well until they need to stop for the night.  They can’t decide whether to sleep in Nevada or California, so they split the difference, finding an odd little motel right on the border.  What could go wrong?  We’ll find out when they discuss the 2018 mystery/crime drama Bad Times at the El Royale.  The BBM Crew will be caught on tape as they discuss obvious heaven and hell metaphors, Jeff Bridge’s transformation into an old west sheriff/Tom Waits, and, of course, Jon Hamm.  It’s a fun trip until the cult shows up on this episode of Brokebot Mountain.

 

Early 1970s. Four strangers check in at the El Royale Hotel. The hotel is deserted, staffed by a single desk clerk. Some of the new guests’ reasons for being there are less than innocent and some and are not who they appear to be.

Manatees and Dugongs!

Things get more than a little gassy and silly as Paul and Donna talk about manatees and dugongs this week! Lettuce learn about some sea cows together!

When water rises manatees can get stuck! The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission is there to get them unstuck! Article courtesy of the Washington Post.

The good guys to the rescue!

What do manatees and dugongs have in common? They fart. A lot. For buoyancy of course. Also to make Paul and Donna laugh and laugh.

Jeez Louise here’s some manatees cutting the cheese and that guarantees the ease with which they swim through the seas. Watch this video please! Courtesy of YouTube user Columbus Zoo and Aquarium:

There are major differences between manatees and dugongs that aren’t so apparent until you look at them side by side! Articles courtesy of padi.com and oceanconservancy.org:

These are manatees.

They don’t look like there’s a lot going on upstairs but manatees and dugongs might be smarter than we give them credit for! Article courtesy of nytimes.com

There are no manatee or dugong superheroes but you CAN go down to Florida and see them at any number of places in the wild or in captivity! Article courtesy of tripstodiscover.com

There are rules. This isn’t ‘Nam.

If you can’t make it to the waters off of north Australia anytime soon you can live vicariously through Jonathan Bird’s Blue World videos! Courtesy of YouTube user BlueWorldTV:

 

Is it a sea cow or a mermaid? Well we know the difference but did oldy times sailors? Articles courtesy of howstuffworks.com and ocean.si.edu
