Episode 244: Krazy for Kookaburras

Episode 244: Krazy for Kookaburras

We once again head down under to Australia to cover one of its most iconic birds, the Laughing Kookaburra. With its extremely unique call, the Kookaburra is a favorite the world over. From the Family of kingfishers, Kookaburra's are an important species to the Australian continent and are also found in Papa New Guinea. The Laughing Kookaburra is the more famous of these birds and are a complete joy to learn more about. Australia and its wildlife, like most regions on the planet, are under threat of extinction. Thus, they deserve our love and attention. For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast on Patreon and give back to conservation.

Episode 73: The Magnificent Mountain Gorilla, Part I

Episode 73: The Magnificent Mountain Gorilla, Part I

When you look at the face of a Mountain Gorilla, you are looking back at our own reflection. Gorilla DNA matches 98.4% of humans, and only the Chimpanzee is a tad closer (we share 98.8% DNA). One of our closest relatives, Mountain Gorillas were almost on the brink of extinction, but are now slowly recovering with a focused conservation plan and with the help of ecotourism. We are dividing this episode into two parts so we can dive deeper into the data of the Mountain Gorilla. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
