IFLScience - Break It Down

Unknown Lifeforms, How To Live To 117, And Handstanding Sauropods?


Listen Later

This week on Break It Down: An unknown lifeform has been making micro-burrows in the Namibian desert, the secret to living until 117 has been revealed, sauropods were not doing handstands in Texas 100 million years ago (boooo), should we be attempting to de-extinct animals, an Australian man achieves a double world-first with a titanium heart transplant, and would you rather go to space or the deepest part of the ocean? We speak to one of the only people on Earth to do both!

 

So, sit back, relax, and let’s Break It Down…
