On Wildlife

In this episode Alex is talking about a group of highly venomous snakes that are known for their signature hoods. With enough venom to kill an adult elephant, a species of this snake is one of the top ten most venomous snakes in the world. The fear that people have for them is also one of the reasons why their populations aren’t doing well. So watch your step while walking through the brush because this week we’re talking about cobras.

This week we’re diving below the lakes, streams, and oceans to look at an interesting group of organisms that are incredibly important to aquatic ecosystems. They are usually too small to be seen, but some can be relatively large in size. They can be plants, animals or something else entirely. Get ready to go underwater because we’re talking about some of the tiniest organisms in the sea: plankton.

This week, Alex takes us on a trip to the grasslands of Africa where this animal likes to live in cool tunnels to escape the heat of the midday sun. Known for standing on their hind legs to survey for danger, this creature may have a “kat” in its name, but it’s not a cat at all. So, get ready to start digging, because we’re going underground to talk about meerkats!

The animal that Alex is talking about on this episode  lives deep within the total darkness of the ocean. They have extremely unique adaptations, and you would probably get nightmares just looking at them. Even though they have a face only a mother could love, they are also an amazing example of how organisms evolve to fit their environment. So, grab your flashlight because we’re going to a place where no sunlight reaches to talk about anglerfish.

In this episode, Alex is  going to be talking about an animal that is extremely intertwined in human culture through literature, film, and folklore.

So, take a look outside your window, because we’re going to be talking about crows.
