    What is the Hot Chocolate Effect?

    Kirk gets to start us out this week and he's all ears. Ears are weird but all those shapes actually mean something. Learn how the shape of an animal's ears can tell us about their habitat and behavior. Rachel is up next and she goes on on the ice to tackle the question of why does ice on lakes crack in the winter? It turns out it relates to some of the very strange properties of frozen water. Victoria  introduces us to The Hot Chocolate Effect. Did you know that hot water sounds different than cold water when it is poured, stirred or moved through pipes? It all comes down to bubbles. Join us weekly for more strange nature.

    Why Do We Celebrate Groundhog Day?

    On this week's show, Victoria kicks things off with a discussion of Chirality and how the study of the "handedness" of molecules could actually lead to the creation of completely new forms of life. It's a bizarre thought experiment with very real and dangerous consequences. Rachel brings us a creature feature, the fish-scaled gecko. This strange creature has an amazing defense mechanism that is both fascinating and gross. Kirk ends things with a salute to Groundhog Day and he dives into the possible science behind why we think these giant ground squirrels can predict the weather.

    Weird Animal Defenses

    On this week's show 2/3 of us talk about animal defenses. Kirk starts us off with the Giant Vinegaroon, an acid shooting whip scorpion. Rachel then also talks defenses with the Fulmar, a bird that covers enemies with stinking projectile vomit. Victoria takes us in an all new direction by talking about Left-handedness.

    Surprise! Defensive Genitalia

    Victoria kicks things of this week with a fascinating new study on Potter wasps showing that the males actually can defensively "sting" even though they don't have a classic stinger. If you are a fan of defensive genitalia, this story's for you! Kirk keeps it with insects and defense this week and tells us a bit about the irritating hairs of caterpillars, how some of them have toxins and and how they can get into your eyes. No thanks.  Rachel takes us to a small island off the coast of Yemen to introduce us to the endangered Dragon's Blood Tree. It isn't just rare, it is strange too.  Join us weekly for more strange nature. Our supporters on Patreon get every episode ad free!

    The Immortal Jellyfish

    Rachel takes us to the zoo to meet a Lyre Bird. Sure, they are found in the wild too but this one learned to reproduce the evacuation alarm for the entire zoo. Good times. Learn more about these amazing birds. Victoria this week brings us, The Immortal Jellyfish. This strange creature can reverse age and then start life all over again. There doesn't seem to be a limit so potentially it could live forever. Scientists are studying it to learn more about aging and how stem cells work. Kirk wraps up this week with a pair of studies that shows that not only do plants make noises when they need water but some animals can take advantage of these sounds to decide where to lay their eggs.

    Bone Eating Worms

    Hey Everyone, it is our first show of 2025! Kirk starts us off this week with a medical mystery from Australia. Can Victoria guess what it is? Spoiler, it is the Paralysis Tick! Rachel (no surprise here) takes us to the bottom of the ocean to lean about a strange bone eating worm that feasts on dead whales. Victoria also takes us underwater this week to Doggerland, a hidden submerged world at the bottom of the North Sea that used to be dry land and home to humans during the last ice age.
