Get Out Alive

Ep. 23: Death From Above


Listen Later

For this episode, we're going way back - 2 million years back.

The discovery of the Taung Child skull was huge for two reasons; That modern-day humans originated in Africa, and early human ancestors used to be preyed upon by large birds.

Which bird is best? Which is the smelliest? Should we be worried about being attacked from above? Ashley serves as the expert for this episode as we talk all things raptor/bird of prey. And for our Patrons, stayed tuned for a bonus episode where we chat with a Golden Eagle falconer to talk about the dangers associated with handling such large and powerful birds.
