Great design, would use in the next model.

Some dogey maths in the news about the eggs. 3 square meters is 32 square feet. When converting squared units you have to do the conversion twice. Not sure if that was your mistake or straight from the paper. 6:30

Omg evolution and the occult, you guys rule

50:00

Thank you for putting this up!

Ahh, so this is why 40 something men buy red Camaros.

18:10 Aren't anurognathid pterosaurs hypothesized to be aerial insectivores though (e.g. Evolutionary pressures of aerial insectivory reflected in anurognathid pterosaurs by Hone et al. 2023) ? Additionally, they seem to even be in the right times and places to enter arms races with palaeontinids. Are there Mesozoic birds hypothesized to be aerial insectivores living with giant cicadas?

With the convo about animorphs and KA Applegate- it may interest the community to know that the character Jake was named after Applegate’s then-son, now daughter (whose new name I do not know). Anyway, the point is Applegate has a trans daughter, and is very supportive of her.

"I have a fish!" Is such a funny example of a fact, because what they heck is a fish. Define your terms!

Curious how the power of this flood compares to the ice age floods, especially those in North America

Great episode again! Greetings from the former western shores of the Paratethys, aka Vienna, Austria!

Couldnt make the stream but I would LOVE to see you evolve a kelpie (Scottish human-eating water-horse)

First

So generous of you guys to promote other science communicators. These ladies are as depraved as I am, I am definitely going to check weird and dead out.

When vacationing with my family at Yellowstone, there was jackalope culture a plenty, despite the presence of real, actually fascinating fauna.

I went to my local Mexican place, had an appetizer, unfortunately it unleashed a “trophic cascade”

Could you post the link to that game? Id love to play!

I am laughing out loud at work to David and Will's laughing 45:15 😂 Like David are you okay?? 😂

Just starting to listen to this episode. I'm very curious to hear how many references I'm familiar with as a relatively recent transplant to South Dakota. 😂

I thought that the Cute-E episodes had a different intro to reflect cuteness

Hi guys, big fan of the podcast btw! This spec-evo of the Jackalope got me thinking about all the different inspirations for the Jackalope. Like on the deer side, there’s Asian water deer, pudu, brocket deer, muntjacs (which have antlers and tusks!), tufted deer, and that’s just the true deer. Then the bovids have duikers, dik-diks, klipspringers, royal antelope, four-horned antelope, steenbok, and oribi. Then there’s the chevrotains and musk deer, not to mention the extinct artiodactyls. One angle I kind of like is the idea of the Jackalope being a species of dwarf pronghorn, Capromeryx, that survived past the ice age. Great stuff you guys do!

This was super fun

Would the horns on a rodent offer any protection from snakes?

I request a video of whatever that group is.

I work at an aquarium that has dwarf caiman as an animal educator and I can state from direct observation that dwarf caiman will death roll.

I could be wrong but I always thought that the derivation of the name dormouse was from the French verb to sleep- dormir

The Spook-E process is remarkably similar to the process of designing a Pokemon. Perhaps there could be a Pokemon series one year? The Pokedex entries would be a fun ride to try and justify in the real world

I don't know if you read youtube comments, but an episode on mammalian whiskers would be awesome!

The birds you're thinking of are killdeer

I can confirm though, at least one member of your Audience is loving the new Eon series and eagrly waiting for each episode

I did a double take there... I never realised there wasn't already a Rodents episode

So the problem with mammoths being a negative 1. We never saw them 2. This is the way the world is now. 1. We probably did see them quite a bit, a lot of bones have been found with tool marks. 2. Spruce and firs roots go down 3 feet, tundra grass goes down 30 feet. Wanna talk about problems? Global warming coupd be our fault not because of pollution but because killed the mammoths either directly or indirectly through claiming territory. Mammoths like african elephants today pushed down trees to create savannahs they forage on as well as to eat the trees, thats the difference between borial forests and tundra then and by bringing mammoths back and returning the borial forest to tundras we may reclaim the fertile tubdra enviorments creating massive carbon sinks and reverse global warming. Now what happened immeadiatly after the mini ice age, the black plague....so plague plus healthy planet vs no plague plus different planet thats the question with mammoths.

you guys legitimately have the best content on youtube

These days, they just outsource their caps from China.

yo this is so dope

27:54 I wonder if the original tale used a different crop, as corn is from Meso-America.

You would think people could understand a trilogy, yet here i am listening to my first episode of this show 😂

Did I miss it or did really nobody ask why the mushroom was invited to the party?

Working my way through the back catalog. If you're still interested in great movie scientists, I'd like to propose Dr. Clayton Forrester from the 1953 movie War of the Worlds. His colleagues at Pacific Tech too. At the other end of the spectrum would be Dr. Arthur Carrington from 1951's The Thing From Another World and his colleagues too. There's also the whole team from 1971's The Andromeda Strain, who show what Michael Crichton can do when he's working on the field he was actually trained in. Maybe classic sci-fi movies for a Silver Screen Science series?

We were doing this one at home and came up with an owl, done on blue and brown like a peacock.

Awwww during micro plate made me laugh

Loved this. I’d love the nickel famine podcast cause I am still curious on it & im stupid 😂

13:30 of announcements is... crazy.

Why are discarded deciduous teeth so valuable to mantises?

No time stamps!? 43:00 is the start of this segments focus by the way.

plants are actually fungi stacked on top of each other in a trenchcoat made of filamentous algae

WHAT IF! For when they are mogwai, the multiplying is not the offspring, but just the other younger/smaller Mogwai clinging to either an older sibling or some other individual. Same applied to the matured Gremlin state. They allow this as it means more warmth for you and even maybe a defence mechanism cause y’know, strength in numbers and not become easier pickings to predators.

Another trait of the Gremlins of the movies is reincarnation and passing of memory from said past life. Stripe is reborn as Mohawk who calls Gizmo and Billy by name. There are plenty of other examples too.
