The Animal Addicts Podcast

On this episode Casey discusses a study on kinematics in Asian Elephants relating to being ridden by humans, and I talk about another breed of cat, the Japanese Bobtail. We learn about our Favorite Asian Animals in Media, the Lesser Death’s Head Hawkmoth (Silence of the Lambs) and the Giant Panda (The Great Panda Adventure), and our Animal of the Week, the Yangtze Giant SoftShell Turtle. Once again we do not have an intro this week as I am still in Arizona without the proper equipment. We wish you a Happy New Year as we venture into 2022!

On this episode Casey talks about the Evolutionary Distinctiveness of the Animal Addicts Podcast, and I talk about Cane Toads invading Taiwan. We learn about our Favorite Animals from Japan, the Japanese Macaque and the Japanese Raccoon Dog, and our Animal of the Week, the Sunda Colugo. There is no intro this week because I didn't bring the mic I use for that with me to Arizona, and quite frankly, I couldn't get to a quite enough place to record one anyway. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all who listen and your loved ones!
