Hide and Seek: Why 'Extinct' Might Just Mean 'Elusive'

About this episode

The episode explores the reasons why certain species remain hidden from human discovery in modern times.

What does it take for a species to stay hidden in the age of satellites and smartphones? This week, we explore the fascinating overlap between zoology and cryptozoology. We break down the top candidates for "stealth survival," including the Thylacine and the other creatures we can't stay on topic long enough to get to. Join us as we debate whether these creatures have evolved to stay out of our sight—and if we’re actually ready for them to be found.
