Q&A: Ancient Fish Eyes, Chowing Chimps and the Deserts That Mimic Mars
<p>This week on That’s Just Wild, Steve, Sarah and Lizzie tackle more of your wildest questions one last time, as the show wraps up — going out with a curious bang (and probably a few weird facts for good measure). 💥🐾✨</p><br><p>🌊 Ever noticed how things seem to vanish into the distance underwater? We explore whether marine animals see the same murky limits we do — or if life beneath the surface has evolved to see further, clearer, and in ways we can barely imagine. 🐠👀</p><br><p>🐜 We always hear about the strongest creatures for their size… but what about the weakest? We take a closer look at sloths — famously slow, surprisingly weak, and spending most of their lives hanging from their toes. 🌿 🌳</p><br><p>🌵🦂🪲Are there places on Earth so extreme that life simply can’t survive? We head to scorching deserts in northern Chile and the Lut Desert — some of the closest environments to Mars — where, against all odds, microbes still find a way to thrive. 🔥🧬</p><br><p>A huge thanks to all our wonderful listeners — while we’re wrapping things up here, the series isn’t going anywhere, so you can dip back into all our favourite (and slightly wild) episodes anytime 🎧✨</p><p>Go to <a href="thatsjustwild.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thatsjustwild.com</a> to get ad-free listening, special deep-dive episodes and exclusive That's Just Wild goodies. </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
