    This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/CREATURES and get on your way to being your best self.

    Back to the vault to one of the most incredible species we have covered in this podcast the orca! First release in 2019, it is worth a revisit. We will release Part II next Monday.

    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.

    Iconic Red Kangaroo Aug 05, 2024
    Show notes

    This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/CREATURES and get on your way to being your best self.

    First released in 2020, we are going back to this oldie, the Red Kangaroo! Was such a fun episode and we learned so much!

    **We also learned that Aussies do eat Kangaroo, so please excuse our American ignorance!!** But so much to love with this species.

    Red Kangaroo History

    The term ‘kangaroo’ comes from the Aboriginal word “gangarru”, from the Guugu Yimithirr language, which is spoken in far north Queensland. Kangaroos are marsupials, whose evolution dates back nearly 125 million years. Marsupials first arrived in Australia around 70 million years ago. Australian marsupials evolved in many ways to meet the challenges of drier habitats over the last 15 million years. Teeth, for example, reflect adaptive changes from browsing (on woody vegetation in moist climates) to grazing (on grasses in arid climates). Kangaroo ancestors were quadrupedal (walking on four legs most of the time) in forested habitats and became progressively more bipedal as habitats dried out and opened up.

    An example of an early kangaroo can be found in the rainforests of Queensland. There lives the tiny clambering musky rat-kangaroo, weighing not much more than half a kilogram. This species is a living fossil, having been around for tens of millions of years. There are over 60 species of Kangaroos that belong to the Family of Macropodidae (Macropods- large foot). These can be broken down into:

    • Wallabies- smaller of the typical “kangaroo”
    • Wallaroos- size in between wallabies and kangaroos
    • Tree Kangaroos- smaller tree-dwelling kangaroos
    • Kangaroos- largest of all the species and considered the “true” kangaroo

    Red Kangaroos range over most of Australia in the semi-arid plains, grasslands, woodlands and open forests.

    From one of our earliest interviews, here is the repeat of Dr. Kim Goetz and her work in tracking Blue Whales off New Zealand, as well as her other work. It is scientists like Dr. Geoetz who is helping us understand these oceanic creatures better!

    Dr Kim Goetz is a marine ecologist at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research where she specializes on the movement and foraging behavior of marine mammals and seabirds. Dr Goetz is passionate about making the results from her scientific research accessible to both the public and policy makers so that conservation and management plans are data driven. She grew up in Colorado earning her bachelors degree with an interest in conservation. Her Master’s research from Duke University took her to the Arctic where she studied Beluga whales, among other species. Once she completed her PhD from the University of California at Santa Cruz she soon relocated to New Zealand to begin her research career. Enjoy another incredible episode with another expert working hard to help us better understand our oceans and how to conserve them.
