Really good at hiding

The only thing in the ocean the Orca is scared of! While they may be smaller than their cetacean cousin, they outnumber them 100 to 1 and are known for even better coordination.

This amazing Pulver lives in our front yard! The Killdeer is an intercontinental shore bird that has a talent for acting. You've probably had one yell at you or try and run you off! This is one of Jay's favorite animals.

This episode is dedicated to Brian Wolf, creator and host of Wolf Rock Rock radio! This special Moth lives entirely on the back of a living animal, the Sloth!

The Great and Peaceful Mr. E and Jay talk about the wonderful burrowers known as Naked Mole Rats. These amazing little burrowers are not only famous for their ability to chew through almost anything but also for their social structure that is more similar to insects than any other mammal.

This amazing group of fish is known for their odd face, their ability to bury in the sand, and not once but two separate times evolving the ability to shoot electricity out of their face.

These crocodilians are extremely strange among their brethren. Having a lack of webbed feet, being semi-social and hunting on land, they are also the most intelligent crocodile left on the planet.

The Great and Peaceful Mr. E and Jay talk about how stoneflies start their life in pristine river and lake environments and then emerge just for a short while to breed. They are also one of the earliest insects to develop wings.

These compact marsupial super predators are famous for their ferocity but through more research we are finding they're actually more social and gentler than we once thought. Also, they're being wiped out by a face tumor disease.

These ancient lobed-finned fish are famous for their long lives and their ability to breathe air.
