Exoskeletons: Moulting Marvels, Punk Rock Ladybirds and Giant Crabs Losing Claws

That's Just Wild

Show Notes

This week on That’s Just Wild, Steve, Lizzie, and Sarah dive into the weird and wonderful world of exoskeletons — and why critters and crustaceans deserve more love. 🦀🐞

From the bizarre process of moulting 🐛

to the mad scientists who tried to build exoskeletons for humans (and then attempted to get eaten by a snake to prove they work 🐍😳),

and why ladybirds are a gardener’s best friend 🌱 but cause havoc here in the UK 🇬🇧🐞

Plus, there’s another banger of a TV blooper from Steve 📺😂
