Life is strange, naturally you want to hear about it. Strange by Nature is your guide to the strange, weird and unbelievable side of nature. Professional naturalists present weekly curated stories about just how strange nature can get.
We really step into it this week. Rachel starts things off all innocent with a story about Sea Stars and then Victoria and Kirk both somehow end up doing stories about fecal material. Victoria talks about a strange effect that makes people have to poop in book stores and Kirk discusses which animal has the tastiest droppings.
This week, Kirk reveals how Dung beetles navigate using the Milky Way, Rachel dives into research that put 3D glasses on Cuttlefish and Victoria brings 30,000 year old plants and animals back from the dead.
