The Smallest Animals on Earth

The final episode of 2025. Here's what we have for you:
Kirk kicks off the show by looking into the very strange world of insect hearing. Turns out some flies use a rotating nose to hear.
Rachel is then up and she talks about the arms race between Bats and Moths. This conflict has lead to some amazing defenses on the part of the moths.
Victoria is up third and she brings us the smallest animals on earth, Myxozoans. These little creatures are technically an animal (related to jellyfish) but they are missing most of the genes for the things we usually associate with animals.
A HUGE thank-you to our Patrons that made this show possible in 2025!
