Animal Anarchy
One animal. One hour. Total chaos. Animal Anarchy is a deep-dive science podcast that takes a single creature each episode and tells you everything, the evolution, the anatomy, the bizarre behavior, the secret senses, the sex lives, the latest research, and the unhinged facts you won't believe are real. From the immortal jellyfish that cheats death to the mantis shrimp that punches hard enough to boil water, every episode will change the way you look at an animal you'd never thought about before. Come for the jokes, stay for the fact that octopuses edit their own RNA. Transparency Note: Voices in this episode are AI-generated. The science is not, every finding discussed comes from real, published research.
