Back with another dead (extinct) animal! On this episode of Wiped Out Wednesdays we talk about the GIANT (but relatively harmless) Glyptodon! A big bowl with legs and a large tail! They lived during the Pleistocene Epoch (Mauro's favorite epoch) and even co-existed with HUMANS! Come learn about this cool animal that is now WIPED OUT! A segment of Let's Talk About Cool Animals - 

Casting a broader net this week! A REALLY broad net, because these animals are HUGE! The Komodo Dragon is the largest living lizard on Earth, and they are absolute murder machines. They can swallow whole goats, and kill just about anything while looking super badass! Come in and learn about these big scary lizards that can only be found in the wild in Indonesia! 

Man oh man, if you don't like creepy bugs you're gonna hate this episode, but you should still listen to it and learn about the ARTHROPLEURA! An absolute GIANT millipede that lived hundreds of millions of years ago! This majestic beast grew up to 8.5 feet long. Yes, you read that right. 8.5 FEET. Come in and learn about its anatomy, environment, diet, all with our classic rambling nonsense in between! This is Wiped Out Wednesdays, a segment of Let's Talk About Cool Animals!

THE LAST OF HIS KIND. Lonesome George lived a life filled with loneliness and fame. He was the last Pinta Island Tortoise known to man. The Galapagos Islands are a fascinating corner of the world where animals thrived for thousands of years (before us humans came along). Lonesome George became a symbol of conservation and perseverance! We dive deep into his life, his species, the history of the Galapagos, as well as how the great people at the American Museum of Natural History were able to immortalize him forever!
