    Mournful Creatures

    Mournful Creatures

    For over 100,000 years, humans have developed a wide variety of rituals and practices after the death of their loved ones. But are humans the only animals that have these practices or exhibit grief? Katy and Laura dig into how elephants and lemurs are just two species that show that non-human animals mourn their dead in ways very similar to us.

    Warning: this episode contains examples and anecdotes of death and loss regarding both humans and animals.

Fun and knowledgeable!

Refreshing new type of podcast!

Surprising, entertaining, silly, and educational! I learn something new and totally bizarre with each podcast, and I love it. Katy and Laura are so passionate and knowledgeable about nature and wildlife. It’s fun to listen to them share what they know. I’m a nature novice, but this podcast is really accessible and enjoyable for me.

Nature and Laughs. My two favorite things.

I love listening to Laura and Katy on this podcast. I learn new stuff about animals and nature (I know. Nerd alert.), and I laugh along with them throughout the episodes. Can’t wait for more!
