About this episode
This episode discusses the unique phenomenon of wombats producing cube-shaped feces and features Dr. Scott Carver's efforts to bring attention to this fascinating animal.
It's Easter and because eating chocolate is irresponsible we're doing an episode about the closest thing: wombat poos. This isn't an animal celebrity individual like our normal specials. This is a whole species fallen from grace, robbed of the spotlight. But one man and his robots are clawing wombats back to fame with some of the strangest headlines in science. This is Dr Scott Carver. And he's saving my all time favourite animal. Happy Easter everybody! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
