Episodes

  • Piranhas: The Animal That Just Doesn't Make Sense 03.06.2026 19m
    Terrifying, blood thirsty, lethal. These are just some ways I am sure many people describe piranhas, who over the years have built a pretty respectable reputation built off fear, yet in reality, these guys are much more chill and crazy in other ways than we've been led to believe.
  • Ice Age America Was Basically Africa On Steroids 30.05.2026 27m
    If you think about Ice Age America, you may picture a bunch of snow, ice, and cavemen. However, that would be wrong, and you would be much closer to reality if you simply pictured, an unlikely place, the great plains of Africa, as that is what America essentially was during the Ice Age, only it was a whole lot crazier.
  • When The Sauropods Just…Stopped 23.05.2026 15m
    Once upon a time, the largest animals to ever walk were in the height of their golden age, but then rather suddenly they vanished, just like that. Why?

  • The Shark Deadlier Than Jaws 13.05.2026 11m
    Great white, tiger shark, and bull shark. These three are what many consider to be the deadliest shark out there, to humans. However, there is a relatively unknown shark, that might be responsible for far more deaths than the big 3 combined...
  • When Dinosaurs Almost Made A Comeback 09.05.2026 18m
    If you ask the average person when the dinosaurs rule ended, they would say 66 million years ago when that big ol mean asteroid struck. But in truth, this may not really be all that right...seeing that not so long after their demise a new group of dinosaurs emerged, that caused their own share of terror (pun intended).
  • The Largest Savanna On Earth Is Not In Africa 06.05.2026 18m
    Brazil’s Cerrado might be the stranger, wilder, and more overlooked savanna hiding in plain sight.
  • The Largest Lake To Ever Exist 02.05.2026 21m
    The great lakes are probably the most famous group of lakes in the entire world, named for their...well great size. And yet these guys are tiny compared to an ancient lake that used to exist, that wasn't just bigger than them each, but also bigger then all of them combined (80 times over).
  • These Giants Were Alive Just 300 Years Ago 25.04.2026 33m
    Earth used to be packed with giants, and somehow, in just the last few centuries, humans still managed to delete a shocking number of them.
  • What ACTUALLY Lives At The Bottom Of The Ocean 21.04.2026 16m

    Prepare to have your mind blown by the absurdities that were the dinosaurs.
  • The Largest Bird To Ever Fly 11.04.2026 12m
    Dinosaurs are well known for being absolute units, so it may not come as too much of a surprise, that the largest animal to fly that was not a pterosaur, happened to be a dinosaur, go figure.
  • Bees Have Unlocked Meat Honey... 09.04.2026 11m

  • Why Animals Are White In The Arctic But Black In Antarctica 01.04.2026 14m
    If convergent evolution has taught us anything, its that some designs work over and over again, which is why its a bit strange that two places, the Arctic and Antarctic that are both known for being endless cold, have animals that look very different, right?
  • This Was The Spinosaurus's Real Opps 28.03.2026 19m
    The T. Rex was the sworn enemy of the Spinosaurus, we all know this of course. The only thing is... it wasn't, and the two never even met, being separated by both time and place. BUT, there was a giant predator that did live alongside the Spinosaurus and definitely gave it a run for its money...
  • Humans vs Neanderthals In The Olympics 22.03.2026 21m
    Neanderthals, we just can't get enough of them, and I am sure some of you have wondered what it would be like if these guys suddenly came back to life, but what about if they came back and then participated in the Olympics?
  • The Worst Animals To Be Born A Dude 18.03.2026 15m

  • When The Earth Went Full Subnautica 15.03.2026 17m
