Wouldn't you love to explore the mysteries of the ancient world, understand the quirky behavior of our furry friends, and learn how to make our pets’ lives better? That's exactly what we’re offering you in this riveting episode! We've got an incredible lineup in store, starting with a trilobite's preserved last meal leading us to fresh insights into these ancient creatures, and a nodosaur from Alberta revealing its diet through its stomach contents.

Join us as we traverse the world of animal behavior, investigating studies on the impact of predatory behavior in dogs, and how providing them an outlet for their natural instincts might improve their mental health. But we're not just about dogs; we’ve got feline fans covered too! We delve into research on neonatal kittens, squirrels' phenomenal navigation skills, and a fascinating look at 'contra-free loading' in cats. You'll be amazed at what we've discovered about our purring friends.

To top it off, we're thrilled to have on board renowned cat behaviorist Dr. Michael Delgado. We discuss with her the unique challenges of keeping cats as a captive species and the importance of satisfying their environmental needs. You'll learn about the interactions between cats, the potential for vindictiveness, and tips on enhancing the environment to reduce competition among them. Additionally, we talk about the wonders of positive reinforcement training for cats, and how it can enrich both their lives and those of their owners. This episode is a must-listen for every animal lover out there – we promise, you won’t be disappointed!
