Extraordinary Echidnas

Extraordinary Echidnas

This episode of the All Creatures Podcast delves into one of the world's most obscure mammals, the echidna. Hosts Chris and Angie explore this unique creature's physiology, including its spines, pouch, and reptile-like legs, highlighting its distinction from anteaters. The podcast covers the echidna's endangered status, the significance of the Taronga Zoo in Sydney in echidna conservation, and the fascinating aspects of echidna reproduction, including the male's four-headed penis and the female's pouch for raising their egg-laying young, known as puggles. With insights from their visit to the zoo and a special focus on Sir David Attenborough's contributions to wildlife conservation, the episode emphasizes the critical need for conservation efforts to protect these ancient, egg-laying mammals. Thank you to Jemma, AJ, and of course Melinda at Taronga Zoo for an incredible experience in Sydney Australia!

Episode 95: Awed by Orcas, Part I

By far this is one of the most incredible species we have covered to date. The Orca (Orcinus orca) is a favorite of many throughout the world, but just how amazing they are will astound you. This will be a 2-part podcast because these animals deserve it. There are so many amazing facts and incredible research, that even two podcasts do not do them justice. In Part I we cover the basics of Orca physiology, but even more incredibly, all the different ecotypes. Behavioral research is showing these animals have developed specific culture to their specific ecotype. In Part II we discuss this in more depth, but enjoy an introduction to a special animal, the Orca. Patreon Please considering supporting us at Patreon HERE.
