    Aug 11 2026

    Hows about a bird that stomps snakes to death? Hows about a bird that has learned to exploit wildfires? Wind down with me as we learn about the Secretary Bird. You can listen attentively, let your mind wander, or drift off to sleep while we reflect on the wonders of wildlife. We'll explore things like the Secretary Bird's unique hunting style, strategies for dealing with snakes, and specialized scale-mail anatomy.

  • Fossa: Madagascar's Largest Native Carnivore

    We don't have time for folks that don't like civets, and particularly, the largest carnivorous civet in Madagscar. Wind down with me as we learn about the Fossa. You can listen attentively, let your mind wander, or drift off to sleep while we reflect on the wonders of wildlife. We'll explore things like the Fossa's arboreal hunting style, cool sleep schedule, and anatomical adaptations to hunting the way they do.
