81: Babies, Births, and Toads
Comfort Creatures
03/07/24 • 43 min
This week Ella and Alexis honour the leap year by giving frogs their flowers and toads the praise they deserve. They also honour the arrival of Alexis' new niece with a deep dive into birthing -- warning... the episode is not for the squeamish. Or indeed for anyone who doesn't want to know about naked mole rat birthing. We also have a fascinating article on antlers (which presents us with further evidence of the magical nature of deer).

Comfort Creatures

Not only is Jennifer S. Holland the author of the fantastic book Dog Smart: Life-Changing Lessons in Canine Intelligence, but she's also the owner of two very cool dogs. Normally that would be PLENTY of interesting things, but Jennifer also has some incredible stories of her time working for National Geographic, including scuba diving and meeting orangutans! We discuss the power of dog noses, types of intelligence, cadaver dogs, and much more!
