81: Babies, Births, and Toads Mar 07, 2024

Show notes

This week Ella and Alexis honour the leap year by giving frogs their flowers and toads the praise they deserve. They also honour the arrival of Alexis' new niece with a deep dive into birthing -- warning... the episode is not for the squeamish. Or indeed for anyone who doesn't want to know about naked mole rat birthing. We also have a fascinating article on antlers (which presents us with further evidence of the magical nature of deer).
