Who doesn’t love goats? Especially baby ones. Their gait, their bleat, their tiny horns. But there comes a time in any goat interaction I’ve had where we lock eyes and I’m struck with a mixture of curiosity and unease. On today's episode, why goats have rectangular pupils, their auto-leveling eyes, and a surprising connection to cuttlefish!<a href="https://thewildlife.blog/2022/09/05/wide-eyed-why-goats-cuttlefish-have-weird-shaped-pupils/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Transcript</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/thewildlife" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Support The Wild Life</a>Check out <a href="https://avast.podbean.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Avast!</a> and <a href="https://www.planthropologypod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Planthropology</a>

Wide-Eyed | Why Goats & Cuttlefish Have Weird Shaped Pupils

An optimistic, curiosity-chasing show about the wonder and wildness of life, following the threads that connect us to the natural world. The Wild Life is, always has been, and always will be a show about the diversity of life within the animal kingdom, but it's about more than that. It's about connections. It's about how the natural world inspires our culture, movies,  and technologies. It's about the patterns that persist throughout not just life, but the universe itself. It's about us.
The Wild Life is a place for the curious, the adventurous, the hopeful, and the hopeless to discover the natural world through unique perspectives. Between the blog and podcasts, The Wild Life seeks to bring the traditional naturalist experience into the 21st century by merging immersive storytelling and foley art with technology and creative experiences. It’s an exploration of truth, common ground, and shared places as we attempt to fill each episode with wonder, connectedness, intrigue, and humor.
