Get ready to have your mind blown (and your funny bone tickled)! In this super-lively episode, we're diving deep into the weird, wild world of animal intelligence.
We'll share laughs while discussing everything from complex ant and bee societies to the chilling potential of octopuses to rule the world if we ever disappear! You’ll hear about incredible animal facts, like ants performing surgery on each other and orangutans using plants as medicine.
But it gets even stranger! We cover the spooky Uncanny Valley effect of intelligent primates, the silent, chemical communication of plants, and the bizarre discovery that mold can solve mazes! Plus, we touch on the dark side, exploring the tragic, controversial experiments once conducted on dolphins.
Tune in for a fun, eye-opening conversation that will change the way you look at every creature—from the tiniest spider to a future octopus overlord!
