What is That?

Journey with us on this Location, Location, Location excursion to the unassuming little country with a shockingly big wildlife game: Montenegro. Tucked in tight along the Adriactic coast, surrounded by other Baltic countries, we find ourselves in a lush landscape, keeping our eyes peeled as we oh-so carefully seek out the sleek and venonmous Nose Horned Viper and putting our waders on, quietly watching, mesmerized by the absolutely gigantic and somehow majestic Dalmatian Pelican. 

Attention: Put away the exercise weights and bring your appetite to the table, it's time to feast until you feel like you're going to pop!
 It's that time of year again, while the animals going into hibernation are in hyperphagia, eating nearly non-stop, we are going to highlight a couple of unexpected animals that really embody the spirit of the season if only by looking like a ready to burst jelly-filled donut, like the bodacious Purple Frog.  Then the last animal you would think was big on eating, but has a giant surprise for you, the American Pygmy Shrew. Tuck in! 

We're back with Part Two of the spooky, Witches brew themed Halloween episode! Join us around the cauldron as we sing and sway and pluck ingredients from the potion to fill you with. Danielle brings us to the highlands to meet the Scottish Cat and then watch where you step in the murky waters as Katie reveals the Venomous Toadfish. It's a bubbling frothing good time you won't want to miss out on!

Prepare to expand your definition of what a cave is when we sink into the dark, moist abscesses of the earth. We keep it in the states this episode as first Danielle carefully creeps us around the lush bounty of the Ozarks to find the cool, moist, Grotto Salamander, then we switch gears dramatically as Katie walks us deep into the desert only to find solace in the hot tub temperature waters that make the sanctuary of the Devil's Hole Pupfish. 
Gather your headlamps, water shoes and... SCUBA gear, we're going caving!

Get ready for some Katie and Danielle lore as we bring to life a couple of animals inspired by our favorite book series. Katie reveals the horrifying creature from the depths of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the Harry Potter series, the legendary Basilisk and Danielle leads us bravely into the world of the Lord of the Rings to meet the majestic Shadowfax, Lord of all horses, brought to life as the Przelwalzski's Horse. Pack up your wand and your backpacking gear because as you may know we will definitely need people of intelligence on this sort of Mission... Quest... Thing!

Animal Teachers - We're getting meta today learning about how some animals are learning. Bust out the pom-poms, letterman jackets and, most importantly, your boundless curiosity, we're going back to school. Starting the school year off with a nod to some impressive animal teachers we'll swim through the generational influencing, culture-creating world of two populations of Bottlenose Dolphins living side-by-side and then bust out our hand-held microscope to observe the fascinating teaching practices of the Rock Ant taking it one eager student at a time.

We've got good news and bad news and I'll be honest with you: it's the same news. We've. Got. Worms. Again. Prepare to be delighted and disgusted, maybe at the same time, as we delve into the depths of the ocean for the Bearded Fireworm, then traverse into some moist marshlands to be infected by the Snail Eyestalk Worm.

This week we go back, way back, wending our way to some of our first animal discoveries to see how they're doing now. We've headed back to year one of the podcast and we have some exciting updates! Pack your bags and prepare for all weather as we start up in the arctic, learning new behaviors emerging in the Bowhead Whale. Hike up the mountains to revisit the Himalayan Brown Bear. We'll also be taking a trip to the land of noses to see what the Brown Kiwi and Proboscis Monkey are up to. It's going to be a whirlwind adventure that you won't want to miss!

Have we got a treat for you! On this very special "Location" episode we are telling our first-hand experiences with a variety of animals from our very own trip to the incredible island-country of Iceland. By joining us on our journey first to the raw, mostly undeveloped East side and then as we make our way back to the more often traveled West side of the island, you will hear stories from our wild, awe-inspiring, sometimes perilous adventure. Prepare yourself for the unexpected as we encounter the Icelandic Horse, Reindeer, Arctic Fox, Iceland Gull and Arctic Char.

Happy Independence Day! As you look to the skies with joy and excitement to celebrate with explosions of light, we will be exploring some places much more down to earth and ocean with just as much vibrancy. Learn about the multiple functions and omnipotent beauty of nature's light-producing capabilities through discovery of two animals that have incredibly evolved to be lit from within. The California Millipede and Siphonophores burst with color intensity, celebrating year round the independent evolution of bioluminescence.
